well, here's all I had written so far. And maybe if an RP does not interest you, maybe just designing mechs will?
Pilots control large robots called mechs to fight against one another in an effort to gain control of the precious little resources earth has left. Factions, gangs, armies and packs have risen from the rabble to create forces that clash heavily in this eternal war. Fortress Class Fortress Class Mechs are the largest and slowest of the three types. They are mainly used as moving bases or Transport for smaller mechs and supplies. They’re slow speed is made up for in firepower and personal defenses. They are essentially roving mechanized fortresses. Fortress Class Mechs Tend to lack the Locks used in Mech Fusions due to their massive size, however a few have special Locks installed internally. Sub-Classes: Naval – Aquatic transport and Exploration Arial – Arial Transport and Support Cannonneer – Low Plains/Flat Land Transport and Heavy Firepower Support Terrestrial – Solid Terrain Transport Titan Class Titan Class Mechs are the main Mechs used in Battle. They range in size from the size of a large 18 Wheeler to the size of an office building. Most Titan Class Mechs are equipped with a number of Locks for Mech Fusion with Support Class Mechs. Titan Mechs are often themed or designed to look like a specific icon. They are also equipped with one or two main weapons and number of lesser support weapons. Sub-Categories: Humanoid – Human or Bipedal shaped Bestial – Animal or Insect Shaped Abnormal – Strange or uniquely shaped Sub-Classes: Knight – Weapon focused and front lines warrior Specialty – Skill or Function based fighter (i.e. Flight Focused, Speed Focused) Tank – Defense based defender and heavy weapons Gunman – Long Ranged weapons and low defense Support Class Support Class Mechs are small and fast, they are not meant for direct combat with Titan or Fortress Class mechs. Instead they carry essential upgrades and support abilities for other Mechs that can be accessed through Mech Fusion. A support Class Mech can change the tide in battle. Sub-Classes: Arsenal Mech – Carries Fusion Based Upgrades to Weapon Systems Power Mech – Carries Fusion Based Upgrade to Base Abilities Mech Fusion: The process through which Mechs combine using Locks to form more powerful abilities and forms. The most common fusions are between Titan and Support Class Mechs but other combinations are possible through Specific Locks. As a general rule of thumb, when combined the Pilot of the greater mech Controls the movements and actions of the Fused Mech, while the pilot of the lesser mech gains control of the internal systems and abilities. The pilots must work as a team to control the combined mech. Lock Types: Multi-Lock: These locks are usually located on central locations of a mech like the chest or back. They are receptive of all most every type of other Lock except Specific Locks. However they do not provide as powerful a fusion as other Locks. Most Mechs have at least one Multi-Lock Specific Lock: These locks are designed to connect with only one other lock of the same kind. They provide the most powerful Fusions but are limited in use. Magnetic Lock: This Lock type is only one way, allowing a Mech to combine with another mech that lacks a usable Lock. However, this overrides the magnetized mech’s controls, rendering it inert. Local Lock: These locks appear on specific locations of a mech such as the arms, legs or back. When combined thy provided upgrades to only a specific area or system of the mech. Because of the localized effect some Local Locks aren’t compatible with certain support Mechs.

Seems pretty interesting. This makes me think of an RP where we all start with basic mechs and then earn money through missions for upgrades. Perform better in the RP and you get more money. Use the money as a level value for what ever part you wish to have.
This could also work as a good component for that Tech v. Magic RP.
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. |

I want to take a fortress class, slap as much gun onto it as humanly possible till it looks like a porcupine, paint some hot rod flames onto it, and name it Wanton Disregard.

If you guys have any suggestions for more classes, locks, sub-classes, distinctions, abilities and such let me know. I'm interested to hear your take on this.
@GV: As I read your post I started to imagine one of the most awesome Mech's ever conceived...if this were an RP I would hope you went with Wanton Disregard! As For me, I'd probably go with a support class of titan class. not sure of the specifics yet though.

I'm actually picturing it looking like a turtle, like a gigantic turtle, with the gun popping out of the shell. Land and sea compatible. Caries a bunch of small, fleet footed titan class that bear a resemblance to rabbits. Captain is an old eccentric bastard in a Hawaiian shirt.
Speaking of, pilots. In SRW the pilots have abilities in addition to the mechs.

Pilots with abilities too, huh? Yeah, That sounds pretty cool. Plus it adds more combinations.

Ah well, the thought was fun while it lasted. I'll just keep the document for use in something else.

Had an idea for a game where everyone plays as zombies in a apocalypses where they've won and have started turning on one another. They've started mutating as they digest more infected flesh, so they start getting more intelligent and all of the powers are disgusting bio-stuff.
I know it's because I just reread John Dies at the End and loved Korrok as a villain.

I linked to an interesting webcomic about creatures that devoured each other to gain more mass and power..
Where was it..

And you think you have a terrible memory.

I have a selective memory. I remember the weirdest things. For instance I can recite the entire dialogue of the last scene of The Matrix Revolution, but can't recall the what I ate for lunch yesterday.

After watching the premiere of The Robot Combat League, I'm back to thinking Giant Robots in an RP would be so f**king cool. I just can't get over this. Does nobody else share this passion?

I like robots, I'm just not really enthusiastic about needing people to drive them.
I might make a robot soonish.
