This is the place for the writers to discuss potential plot ideas for the RPG. Please keep in mind that these are only suggestions of the players and that a majority of the players must agree to an idea before it goes into effect. If it is a plot that directly involves a character, then the player of that character can decide if it's what they want to happen. Please keep things civil and be respectful of ideas your fellow players may come up with. Remember, this is a fun, stress-free place. Keep things on the topic of plots in this thread so that players don't have to weed through off topic posts. If you have a plot idea that you think will need a lot of discussion, you may create a new thread in the RPG Out of Character Discussions board.

Hey all! Where was everyone thinking of starting? At the beginning or where season 1 ended or something else? Also, I'll create a board for Fairy Tale Land (FTL) threads as well as a board for Storybrooke & any other places in our realm/dimension.

I was thinking of starting at the beginning, before Emma gets to town. Hopefully we'll get a player for her character soon.
What major location threads for Storybrooke do we need? My memory is shot; did the places like the diner and the school have proper names? Obviously we'll need...
Mayor's Office Sheriff's Office Dr. Hopper's Office Mr. Gold's Antique Shop Granny's Bed & Breakfast Henry's Castle

Yeah we should start at the beginning, because we don't have an Emma. i say if we get an Emma before we get this ball moving- then we should come up with something for our own season 2.

*mumbles* They still havent shown all of season one here... -.- But two more episodes to go.
But id agree with start at the beginning, and let the imagination run wild... that way Henry might not be so annoying!

Before Emma's arrival until we get an Emma sounds great to me! Okay, I just created a crap ton of location threads. Let me or the other mods know in the Request a Gaming Location thread what other areas you need and what you'll need for Fairytale World board.
Way past my bedtime now! I'll work on a profile for my OC tomorrow. Still have to decide what character I'll be playing. Mods, I didn't include a pic on some of the location threads. Feel free to find some and edit the post to add them.

Thanks, Heidi and Lee-o, for doing so much work on the OUaT threads. They look great! Regina's office is one of my favorite sets ever. Consider yourselves exalted.

I am in agreement for the start of the RPG.

Starting at the beginning works for me too. Though Belle will probably have the most interaction with folks in FTL, since she's locked up in the hospital in Storybrooke.

Yayz for exalts! Alrighty, more toward the beginning before Emma arrives it is! I'll check out what else we need to have done and I still need to figure out which OC I'll play. Been thinking about it all day!
Does everyone want me to unlock and we'll just jump in and let things go where they go or do we need to chat more and come up with some kind of plot?

We could always do Fairy Tale flashbacks while getting a rough plot to go with or something.

I'm down with playing out flashbacks. Belle won't be doing much anyway in Storybrooke. I say we go ahead and unlock OUAT so we can start playing.

Does anybody know what the name of the street is that all the shops are on? Can't remember if they ever said or if we ever saw street signs. I'm just going to name it Main Street for now.

Alrighty everyone, I've officially popped the OUaT RPG cherry. Please let us know of any plot ideas you may have. As for Charlotte, it's the day of the grand opening of the bakery under her and her aunts' ownership. Currently, nobody in Storybrooke knows of Charlotte's existence except for possibly Mr. Gold since he seems to know all (I'm leaving that up to J as it's his character). She'll be hidden in the backroom baking and I'd like her be discovered slowly at first. Maybe one person right off. Kristi, I know we chatted about Mary Margaret stopping by and having someone sweet, trustworthy, and patient would probably be a good idea. It'd help ease her into society life and give her a false sense that most people are like Mary Margaret.

So, since Storybrooke!Belle is sitting pretty in her cell in the hospital, I'll need to play her in Storybook world. Question, should I start her off before she makes her deal with Rumplestiltskin to be his servant, or should I just go with her already working for him? I'm kind of at a loss of what to do with her right now, since she can't really interact with anyone at the moment.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jul 4, 2012 17:11:17 GMT -8
That's a good question and an unfortunate situation with Belle in Storybrooke. She's locked away in a secret part of the hospital, or at least I thought it was secret? Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone. Is it a psych ward that people know about or do people not know it exists? All I know is that it's highly restricted and you have to type in a key code on the key pad to get in.
As far as where to start, probably up to J to see where he wants to start with Rumple.

Perhaps keeping threads in the Storybook world relative to the characters is the way to go. We still don't know a lot about the timeline and events of that world. Trying to track it would be a headache.

Well, especially since we've had only one season. So should we just go with what they've shown us so far and just go our own way from there?

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jul 5, 2012 19:20:11 GMT -8
Well, damn. They just cast Sarah Bolger to play Sleeping Beauty in season 2 and I'm wondering if I should change my pics for Aurora. I think I'll maybe wait until they release some pics of her in the show because I'm not sure if they're going to keep her brunette or have her wear a wig or dye her hair blonde. Also, I have no idea what they'll be using as her backstory in FTL or Storybrooke. Should I just stick with Yvonne as the pic and keep my backstory? Garrrr, first time I've had this problem since this is the first time I've tried playing what was a canon character for a currently running show.

Post by Mary Margaret on Jul 5, 2012 19:23:27 GMT -8
I say stick with what ya' got. Yvonne is cool, you've already established her backstory and her entry into Storybrooke. If someone comes along later and yells "You're wrong!," we'll tell them to get over it.

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jul 5, 2012 19:34:25 GMT -8
Lol, thanks for that. That's what I was worried about; people coming along later going, "Huh?" Too bad though. I posted an article in the OOC section about it and I'm not too keen on who they chose based off that pic but I'm not gonna make any final judgments. We'll have to see what they do with her in the show.

I'm with everyone else! I think it's fine to say we just go with the canon we know as of season one. I'm sure many things we come up with within the RP will end up out of canon during season two .

Post by Hollywood Heidi on Jul 5, 2012 20:32:29 GMT -8
True. First time I've ever RP'd such a new show. Thanks so much, you guys! I'll stick with her pic and backstory. Glad to do it since I spent so much time thinking it up and writing it up.

Trying to track it would be a headache. So I guess I should just post something with Belle at Dark Castle then? I'm guessing it'd be at the beginning of that particular story, yes? Seeing as we're starting at the beginning in Storybrooke?
