I might be interested. I have a two-year degree in game design and I'm finally trying to use it. I have a couple of my own ideas though(i actually came here to make a topic on one), and that would be my priority.

Well, I'm certainly open to ideas. I'll have to check out that thread of yours, too.

Oh, I mean ideas for my own projects, I wouldn't impose on what you wanted to do with yours.

I kind of figured, but I'm always interested in what other people come up with for their own projects.

I guess in the grand scheme of the Universe, I do believe there is a white/black morality, but the realist in me say that in life, many times it is more like "grey/black morality" since we are all human and flawed. There are "black hats," mostly "hats of varying shades of grey" and very few, if any true "white hats." I also tend to have a "noir" outlook too, plus I am very cynical. I like my heroes to have flaws and troubles as we all do. A good site to look, and waste hours on, is www.tvtropes.org for ideas.

BTW, about "noir," I'm a fan of the old 1940's to 1960's era "noir" movies and TV shows that feature police, the underworld of crime and so on like "The Naked City," "Peter Gunn" and "Mr Lucky." (my avatar) The last one is about a man who runs a casino on his yacht in international waters where they get into trouble and deal with police, gangsters and the like.

Not entirely sure what all that has to do with trying to gather some people up to work on a CRPG...

Hm...

Well, the only issue I see is that just one forum might not do it - I'm not sure if we'll find people who can fill in all the roles in just this forum. All the people with related talents might be in the Art, Writing, and Music forums or the computer one.

Good point, but I'm always just a little bit wary of cross-posting between forum sections, as some people get rather annoyed by it.

Sorry, sometimes I might go OT a little it but generally in any RPG I like to play or run, sometimes I like to put the players (or be in) a situation where hard choices need to be made and so on. I guess in a way, it could be OT, some background setting and ideas for any RPG scenario. Still if someone needs ideas, I still suggest TV tropes.

I like RPG's like Twilight: 2000 and "The Morrow Project."

Seriously, I also like RPG's where the Aspie becomes the hero of the day and gets the girl (or boy). :)
