I've posted a few ideas for RPGs, but I've shelved those. This is something I've been wanting to make for a while.
The past, the present, the future of Earth holds neither an Eden nor a Apocalypse. It holds three forms of the Earth, first the lush, warm tropical jungles, a truly marvelous green, and then the badlands, great deserts, and the obscene metal shapes of human invention. And then the soot of pollution, the snow of nuclear winter, an Ice Age, bare desolation. All three hold humans. All three have their sorrows, all growing greater as time pushes forward.
Human population are dwindling. other species rapidly evolve into brutish, powerful forms, while man tries to preserve the fruit of his knowledge, as it rots in his hands. Oppression is commonplace, there is no longer justice, only reward. You want things to change. Hell, many want things to change. Do you have that determination, or are you simply another psuedo-rebel?
There are few other sentient forces beside man in this RPG, but they shall remain secret. However, there are specific sects of humans. The souls of all dead things, of all significant beings, are pulled to the Great Devices, an omnipotent, indestructible machine. It is supposed it judges, it is supposed it reincarnates, it is supposed it destroys. But it is clear, it exists. However, humans resist the great call to the north, and some have managed to make themselves, (theoretically), immortal.
The most well-known, and the one of the more bizzare are the Prosthetics, who have studied The Devices for great periods of time, and have managed to resist the pull. However, after their death, their souls can do virtually nothing, being subpar ghosts. So, the are attached to robotic drones through some energies of The Devices, through which they act upon the world. Robotics has yet to develope a truly thinking machine... but rumor has it that the drones take part of the soul, and become sentient. As of yet, there are no signs of sentiental drones.
This RPG will use semi-extended terrain, and will be on an Ice tileset. There will be a consistent story, and there will be definative choices to make. It will be a single player RPG unless I decide otherwise. there will be a good variety of strange things, and alot of grey material, not alot of definite goodies or baddies. If anyone wants to actually help me with this, PM me. Me... I'm going to bed.

Well, I don't mind if it's single player, but could you atleast add a download from which someone can watch you play?
I'm not sure about others, but often, I have nothing better to do then to watch my friends play games and rant at how they're doing things stupidly

Very neat idea!!!!! the story is great but when are you going to finish it? It sounds like a huge project, perhaps by the end of 2006? I'd like to help but I'm currently scavenging for (U) maps, They are great!!! (not from Tony the Tiger)
