Exactly What It Says on the Tin
Feel free post your idea for game you wish someone would start or, if you're a GM type person, peruse this thread to see if there's anything that looks interesting that at least one other person has interest in too.
Thank you for making this.
I've got new mythological machinery, and very handsome supernatural scenery. Goodfae: a mafia web serialYou already make this thread a couple years ago, and it's still being used. Why do we need two?

I think because that thread is more about interest checks for the a person's RPS that they plan to run themselves, whereas this is more 'could you GM this RP for me, if you're interested?'
Well, I think this is a great idea.
UhTo be fair, not a lot of people check that thread, plus the title doesn't make it seem like it's anything less than a guide.
As I mentioned in one of those other threads, I'd be interested in a Yu-Gi-Oh RP where the players are the monsters, rather than duelists, living in a fantasy world. The thing is that I haven't played Yu-Gi-Oh in a while so I don't really know about the more recent cards, so I was hoping that somebody more familiar with more of the cards would be able to run the story. I'm not sure what the setting would be, other than that there'd likely be a bit of an Anachronism Stew given the clashing sci-fi and fantasy elements in the card game. There might be nations representing each monster attribute or type, or something. The Falsebound Kingdom video game and the virtual-world arcs in the Duel Monsters anime might provide good inspiration.

I've had this idea bouncing around in my head for a while, although I'm not sure yet if I really want to do anything with it (though anyone who wants to try and make this concept work is more than welcome to)
Basically, it's a crossover RP where all the characters meet one another just after canonically dying in their own respective universes. They know that (or they very quickly pick up on the fact) they're dead, and that the afterlife that they're currently in is dominated by some kind of giant supernatural thing at the very center that is capable of sending individuals onto wherever they need to (or want to) go, even possibly returning them to life. Along the way, they might be diverted by various other travellers on the same goal, or caught up fighting against undead antagonists trying to return to life, etc.
It's probably not to everyone's taste, and the backstory makes it fairly dark from the get-go (so there probably won't be any wacky hijinks-type adventures), but I figured that I might as well get it out of my head and onto paper.
What about people who temporarily died?
That sounds interesting.
Umm...I know we might already have one, but for some reason I suddenly really really really want a One Piece RP. Something that allows for the wacky, goofy adventure tone but can still have serious or at least semi-serious moments while letting people kind of do their own thing and stuff. Umm...might be asking kind of a lot suddenly but yeah.
I mentioned this before, but this series is just begging for an RPG. The first few minutes of this part even talks about the setting.

I just want someone to do a FMA RP.
Come on. There's so much that can be done!
Hmmm... Going to throw an old, dumb idea into the pot, I guess.
Basically, everyone makes up a normal, mundane human character. Nothing too out there or extraordinary, just regular, everyday people. The RP starts with a Mass Super-Empowering Event, and for every character the GM goes to the superpower wiki, clicks "random" (rerolling anything that is obviously broken or useful; the point of the RP is to try and figure out interesting usages for seemingly useless powers) and PMs them to the players (one reroll is allowed, I guess?). And... Basically from there it's a mix of slice of life and superhero action as these people try to come to terms with their new powers, and, uh, yeah. It's kind of dumb, I know.
...Also would totally be up for that One Piece RP, especially now that I'm quite a bit into the Baroque Works arc.
I've always wanted for someone to do some Detective RP with a crossover element.
I like that superpower lottery idea. But when the last one died a year ago, no one seemed to be willing to make a new one, which is a real shame. Maybe things are different now.

@ Psyga: Probably. When they reach the Giant Supernatural Thing, they'd probably return to life wherever they came from.
I like these ideas, and my rp died on me, so I could start one again.
The flesh is weak!...I would not only be up for that, but I already know just who I'd use for it. >.> <.<

I've also wanted to play a RP where the characters are allowed to be meta, but in a way that doesn't seem out of place. I'm talking about that feeling Scream had, where the characters were in a scary movie commenting about scary movie tropes, yet it didn't feel out of place, it didn't ruin the mood and it didn't break the fourth wall with a wrecking ball.

I've had this idea of a Crossover RP where the characters serve as members of a kinda-sorta Multiversal Congress serving under a omnipotent President of the Multiverse. They would represent their respective universes as districts of the US!Multiverse and the RP itself would be freeform.
Vote. .#Bayonetta 4 SmashTime to dance in with another idea. Okay, I really want to do an RP with no premise, other than that it's a bunch of muggle kids in the same grade in highschool, doing boring teen stuff. As like, a real life simulator. I'd like to see what would happen. I might even start it myself...
UhWith the failed attempt to launch a proper Super Robot Wars RP, I don't know if I want someone else or me to give it a proper reboot as Super Robot Wars: Operation Restore.
I've mentioned the Wonderful 101 idea in the other thread like this, but I thought I'd mention it again. Not entirely sure what, when, and why, but just picture it.
