Funeral for a Friend RPG(Power Rangers)

[jemnai]

This is idea that is set just after c2d where rangers from mmpr-Space head to Eltar to pay thier last respects to the mentor Zordon. The Rangers told by Alpha they would need to pick up someone in Jacksonville Fl who was Ranger they didnt know about.

It pretty much not fighting rpg but more of reflective and informitive one

I think with mature RPers in the right context it could be excellent... especially if it was more of a prologue to a deeper, more epic adventure. (ala there is some conspiracy that must be solved, blah, blah, blah). Now it would take a ton of work to get just right without sounding contrived or insincere, but could be done. I think making this a fanfic, or a multi-authored fanfic (where each person takes a chapter to write and switches out depending how many authors are involved) could perhaps be easier, it just depends how you go about it.

TL;DR: Excellent concept with a lot of potential; needs to be carefully executed.

And Phazon hit the nail on the head!

I can definitly see it being freaking awesome, but i can see it going down the tubes just as easily!

To be honest, for something as plot-heavy as this, I would go out on a limb and suggest that the RP model on this board (and others) would not fully serve the concept. This story, which obviously happens post PRiS would most likely focus a great deal on the PRiS Rangers and serve as an expanded epilogue of sorts. Also, considering the subject matter, you would like to bring in other characters and older Rangers to get their points of view and reactions which we never got to see on the show. Now if this were constructed in an RP model, we would have a single (or couple) GM(s) that would be responsible for the plot and a bunch of people to play individual characters, each trying to convey some kind of sub-plot all at once. it would either devolve into an over-worked GM with a bunch of bored players not really doing anything, or a BUNCH of players all playing discontinuously and each with their own agenda, and a GM trying to tie this all together.

Now, as I mentioned previously, I think this might be a perfect concept to roll with an model I have wanted to bring to the board for a while; A Multi-Authored Story. Say there were seven people all involved (or more or less) who were writing this story chapter by chapter, each person would be able to focus on specific things while also having a well tuned, contiguous plot. An author can explore an individual character (or characters) in depth, and be able to call back to it, without necessarily totally stopping the whole story just for this one aspect. I would say this would still need a lot of organization to keep all parties on the same track, and perhaps a 'GM' with defacto editorial control, but it would be a lot more streamlined than having a bunch of separate talking heads.

I been working on this idea for a few years where the Ranger deal with the death in their own way as well as meeting young man that to had lost lot in the past war with Dark Spectors forces.

Phazon Ranger does have a point. I would add that this would work better as a fanfic rather than as an rpg.
