Danganronpa is a series of visual novels based around the premise of the most skilled students in their field; referred to as Super High School Level/Ultimate Students- going to an academy and suddenly being overrun by the entity Monokuma, who subjects them to the Mutual Killing Game.

In effect, all the students must kill each other. The survivor gets to leave.

---

Basically, the players would be playing Ultimate Students, masters of their skill; whether it is something mundane, such as being the Ultimate Chef, or something esoteric, such as being the Ultimate Princess. Their job is to survive and escape the Mutual Killing Game before they are all murdered, all the while solving cases of murders among the student body.

Preferably, of course, the players escape while most of them are still alive.

In effect, the rules would be as thus:
1. There would be three phases per ingame day.
-The Morning phase, where players will be gathered in a hub to be talked to by Monokuma(or equivalent) and potentially discuss evidence, murders and other things. Any murders committed at Night will be declared here.
-The Day phase, where players are free to do as they wish, including and up to murdering another player.
-The Night phase, where players are gathered in a hub and sent to their dorms again. Any murders committed in Morning and Day phase will be declared here if not found by a player prior. Murders can be committed in the Night phase, but will only be detected in the morning.
2. Murders committed will not be automatically announced. A murder committed, whether player-made or NPC-made, will only be declared during the Night/Morning phase unless discovered by a player.
3. Once a murder is discovered, every player will be gathered in automatically, regardless of phase to discuss.
4. Once the gathering is over, the game regardless of time will enter Investigation phase. All players must now find and locate evidence relating to the murder and decide if said evidence is relevant. This evidence can be anything from a physical piece of evidence to a verbal confession recorded. Once all players deem all possible evidence to be gathered and one informs Monokuma(or the equivalent entity), the Trial phase will begin.
5. During Trial, all players will gather in and discuss the evidence, discussing their reasons for believing one character is the murderer.
6. Once all arguments for and against all potential suspects' innocence have been made and a suspect declared, it will be determined if the players succeeded in finding the murderer.
7. If the players are correct, the murderer will be executed (and if a PC, will be out of the game). If the players are wrong, however, everyone except the murderer is executed.
8. If the murder was in fact a suicide, nobody is executed.
9 (possibly). Players may be allowed to murder other players or NPCs. (NPCs will never murder PCs). However, it will be mediated with the GM, with both the murder victim and the murderer, and if the PC is caught, they will be subject to the same punishment as NPC murderers.

Well, did I miss anything? Do you guys have any suggestions? Should I allow PC murders? Anything else?*

*Yes, I realise how similar this is to Mafia. The difference is that Mafia has pre-defined roles aside from 'potential murderer/innocent' and is probably going to be far less hectic than this knowing the GM. And is a lot more structured than this crap.

                                                                            PERSONA: MILLENIUM
Disclaimer: Persona is the property of Atlus.

Setting:
The year is 20XX, in Neo Kyoto City. It’s the start of the school year, as you are all new to the local high school, Tatsumi High, whether having been residents of the city for your entire lives or newcomers from the countryside, ready to seek a living in Neo Kyoto. The raging trend nowadays is Millenium, a MMORPG focusing on the concept of Time, and featuring various tarot cards. It came out of nowhere to become one of the most played games in the city- seemingly harmless.

Players of Millenium have disappeared from all over Neo Kyoto, found dead or comatose shortly after. The police are utterly stumped by the deaths, and have attempted to track down the makers of Millenium to no avail. They simply blamed it on overexertion and exhaustion from playing games for too long.

You were selected for other reasons.

Through analysis, you were selected- not for having played Millenium, but for being resistant to its effects- and above all, the power of Persona.

All will be explained soon enough. Your adventure begins.

---

Gameplay:
Within the game, there will be two main sections:

Reality/Chronos: The real world. Players will be able to interact and RP with NPCs and other PCs, as well as do schoolwork and various jobs one might have as a high school student. Here, one can acquire equipment and some boosts which will help you in the second section.
Achronos: The Land Without Time, a mysterious dimension where players of Millenium are dragged to. Players will be able to use Personae, the manifestation of one’s inner psyche, to fight Shadows and free players captured within this dimension. Here, one can level up and earn gold to buy equipment in Reality.

Players:
A player will have two aspects about him:

Character: The character him/herself, a high school student in Tatsumi High, selected for their ability to summon a Persona.
Persona: The manifested inner psyche of a person, granted the power to fight off Shadows. A wielder of Persona is able to enter and exit Achronos at will.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a side game, but a sequel. Considering 'gaiden' means 'another story' and I wanted a title that wasn't 'KS V2', I think it's a fitting title.

Almost two decades after the graduation of Batch 2020 from Yamaku High, a new story unfolds within the school walls, as a new batch comes to the school, trying to deal with their own disabilities and get on with life.

Based off of the visual novel Katawa Shoujo, as a sort of hybrid between a continuation fic and a roleplay.

The Original Monster Girls RP
IC Thread
TvTropes page
This is the OOC thread for Monster Girls V2.

It will take place in the same universe as the original Monster Girls, with the added bonus of being so slice-of-life, it won't be funny.

The Rules!
1. Unless anyone wants to suggest a new stat system, all fights are to be resolved by a d6 roll and RP. Outcomes are as in RTD- epic failure to overpowering success.
2. Six character slots to a player; don't have to fill all of them. One is allowed to swap slots out and delegate a character to NPC status.
3. Don't be a dick. Or you'll be shot! By someone!
4. Ship. Ship everything. Ship ALL the things! ship or die

IC Thread

Same as OLD Everything:Gaiden, with a few caveats-

1. We use d50s for rolls.
2. No god-tier characters.
3. You have to have a character sheet for all characters.
4. We follow the Decalogue for anything else.



The Decalogue

1: The GM of each game and the Creator of each setting has absolute control of it. They have the right to dictate anything regarding entities from their domain. In the absence of a GM or Creator, an official rulebook or wikia will suffice, the players who use material from that world have the right to interpret the lore as they see fit as long as the absolute majority of other such players agree to it.
Case in point, @Elf has absolute control of RotMG and @Ragnarok has absolute control over TA as their respective GMs. @Mcclay has absolute control of Eric's world as its Creator and @Vgray has unquestionable right of interpretation of Warcraft as the only user of that world.

2: Unless an agreement is reached, the worlds of each setting are to be considered completely separate with neither influencing the other. An amalgamation requires the consent of both GMs or Creators. In the absence of either, this requires an absolute majority of players with characters from those worlds to agree to it.
Impolitely jamming lore into someone else's lore probably isn't the best idea, especially if they are incompatible.

3: If a lore difference occurs which nullifies a character's ability, the GM or Creator of the relevant world is to provide an equivalent effect, either lore or mechanics-wise if possible.
For example, if someone who could detect magic signatures used it upon Florencio, they should receive the echo data of his recent spells as he has no such signature. Likewise, were they to use it upon Silica, they would receive the words she used in her spell.

4: When multiple entities are omnipotent within a domain, any such entity can veto the actions of the others, regardless of numerical advantage.
Infinity multiplied by one hundred is still infinity. Thus, no matter what a group of entities with infinite power does, a single other entity could simply undo it as numerical differences become meaningless. By that logic, when two contradicting actions are backed by omnipotence, the status quo wins.

5: There are no grandfather clauses.
A person who could veto an action may miss it or not be online at the time, this is by no means an invitation to assume that it is a precedent or permission to utilize it in the absence of an explicit statement.

6: The GM or Creator of a world has no obligation to provide any lore when asked.
It can be used to explain or justify something, but if for whatever reason they refuse to, whether because they haven't completed that lore or because it would be a spoiler, that decision is to be respected.

7: Should the lore of two worlds end up in direct conflict, the relevant parties are to either reconcile it or nullify the action and any required parts of the sequence of events.
Unbreakable objects going against forces that destroy everything can't exactly be resolved easily, so failing resolution, the event in which they interact in a contradictory manner is to be removed to prevent the contradiction from occurring.

8: All absolute property arguments are to automatically be relative to their world. Properties that destroy or erase are automatically defeated by properties that allow survival.
That is, something that destroys everything without fail only does so relative to their originating reality.
Having an indestructible object suddenly become destroyable tends to compromise settings far more than an all destroying effect failing. After all, it is far easier to invoke and abuse (and possibly kill characters using) the former rather than the latter.

9: Unless otherwise stated, relevant aspects of each world is to be assumed to exist.
That is, there is void in the world, there is a television world, there is a border of life and there is a spell server.

10: The crossover itself is not subject to these laws.
There is no point in to futilely questioning how characters from strictly separate realities ended up in the same location nor whether or not it violates their lore.

Otherwise, HAVE FUN!

Taken directly from the original OP:

Bay12 Rumble

Rumble is a surprisingly versatile game system primarily designed with PvP in mind, that I would like to try GMing, with some augmentations to allow for some Co-op and PvE.

Rules summary:

• Players generate a pool of abilities by choosing from a list or making up their own abilities.
  
• Players secretly bid on those abilities spending Energy. Energy is an important resource during actual play; don't spend too much!
  
• Each turn, players inform the GM how they spend their current Energy total to attack, defend or use their abilities. (this does not actually consume energy)
• Actions are revealed simultaneously.
• Damage taken (attacks-defense) is subtracted from Energy.
• Players are eliminated when Energy reaches 0.

Spoiler: Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name:
Gender:

Two powers: selected from the lists available on the Rumble site here, here, here, here, here and here or player generated that will be subject to GM discretion.  The first link has nearly four hundred options, the rest are significantly less interesting.  Feel free to change the names of powers, especially the out of place Naruto references, so long as they make some sort of sense.  Please put this section outside of spoiler tags so that others may see them and avoid double posting a power.  I may ask you to select different powers if the ones selected are difficult to understand or visibly unbalanced.

Optionals will really depend on the setting
Appearance:
Personality: Seriously depends on the setting so holding off on that may be wise.

History (pool): Civillian, previous challenger or blank.
[spoiler=Setting]Simply put, I have a good idea where I'll be going with this, but alternate setting suggestions are welcome.

My current plan for a setting is on a human Worldship after a massive war brought about the existence of genetically and mechanically enhanced super soldiers.

The victorious party in the war chose, rather than idiotically lording their victory over their enemies, to erase all memories of the war from both sides of the general populace, the memory of the war remaining in the minds of the Planetary and Worldship rulers, known as Keepers.  This did not get rid of the existence of the super soldiers however and simply killing them was considered to be both inhumane and wasteful, so they were put to use to entertain the generally bored masses by fighting to the death.  Of course, two things quickly came to light, one, the warriors were dying too quickly, and two the people wanted to see new blood, so three pools were generated to pull from.

The first pool is the Civilians themselves, who can join in on the bloodbath to enhance their personal and political standing, one victory in a tournament grants officiator powers for the next tournament, two and they are allowed some say in public policy on their world/ship, three and they are granted Keeper status of either a Worldship or a Planet of their own, whichever is available.  The second pool is comprised of Clones of old challengers brought back to life, memories restored to a point, a victory in the tournament could give them a civilian body as well as similar privileges to Civilian victors, so that they can go and live lives.  The third pool is quite literally pulled from a pool of genetic soup, these blanks, as they are referred to derogatively by the audience, can be granted a number of things, not the least of which are memories of their own, manufactured reasons for living, and a civilian body.

Of course, it is just a big show, so there's no real reason to get into power politics and metaphysicality of it.

This is a continuation of MrVoid's original game. Currently full, although we're taking waitlisters.

After the last two Pokemon Leagues run by Akroma went....sourly, I, the God of Shipping, have decided to try my hand at this.

As per usual, we will be hosting this on Pokemon Showdown, on OU tier.

Please note that there will be NO arguments based on personal attack tolerated on this thread. If there is one, both participants will be immediately disqualified from the current tournament and then asked politely to leave the thread. Debate about points, it's fine, but heated personal attacks will not be tolerated.

http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/
Here is the URL for Pokemon Showdown. Any old competitors are free to join.

Please note that any Uber tier Pokemon are banned, and due to the website filter, will not need be placed in this post unless requested.

Otherwise, have fun!

Rules:
1. NO ARGUING INVOLVING PERSONAL ATTACKS WILL BE TOLERATED ON MY PREMISES. As much as I would not mind 'heated debate', if it starts degrading into personal attacks, the participants will be disqualified from the current tournament and the participants will be politely asked to vacate the thread. Please control yourselves, lest the Toad ban Pokemon on these forums.
2. Unless stated, no Pokemon or Formes of said Pokemon are to be used from the banlist.
3. No Fakemons unless stated.
4. If you would like to join, kindly PM me a request. Any requests via the thread will be summarily and blatantly ignored.
5. Finally, please, treat your opponents nicely. If there is any unsportsmanlike behaviour, I will be forced to immediately disqualify the unsportsmanlike competitor. Again, we don't want Pokemon to be banned on these forums.
6. If you would like to request a simple casual match, feel free to post the request on this thread.
