Insane Yet Awesome Idea Thread

[XIVcaliber]

It is an animation, but...it's like a game. And it's amazingly well done. AND HILARIOUS.

[niko2pico]

Yeah, so where did you get to in them.
[s] Strife!

[XIVcaliber]

We should brainstorm your Homestuck D&D campaign here, Niko.

[niko2pico]

Maybe. I'm working on something inspired by it. But for now I'm doing a vanilla thing based around an archeologist guild, a corrupt church, and some incredibly powerful artifacts.

[XIVcaliber]

Very fun. I need ideas for my campaign, as soon as I join the bandwagon.

[Dreamaniaccomic]

Oh my god.
I have fallen for Felicia Day as of this instant, not just due to her feliciatude, but also due to her intense daeity.

[niko2pico]

*Edit* Yeah I changed this post myself because the original was too rude.

Muh. Bwejwojb. Wesjkladjsakd.
*picks up jaw from floor and reattaches it*
HOLY FUCKING SHIT.
I'm not sure if that was meant in a good way or bad way. But just... oh my god.
Pluses:
WORGEN. F*** YES.
TAUREN PALADINS. ABOUT TIME.
REVAMPED OLD WORLD, FLYING MOUNTS IN OLD WORLD.
GOBLINS. F*** YES AGAIN.
s :
New race/class combos. Er, maybe? It seems a bit... odd. I can deal, probably.
s :
I now have to get as many of my characters up in level as quickly as possible so I can experience the old world one last time. I don't have time for this.
s :
I thought about going on hiatus while I work like crazy on WoW. ... Yeah, I know, I'm an effing moron and would totally deserve the lynching you guys would give me if I actually did that. So rest assured, I wont.

[niko2pico]

Wow Worgen, dude! Every time I think I'm out the damn game pulls me back in.
Bout damn time humans got the hunter class.
I now think that the alliance is worth playing on

[Dreamaniaccomic]

Hey, any of you remember this character?


Yeah, me and Niki might be doing a collaborative project with myself as the writer and Niki as the (far more talented) artist.
Freaking awesome, in my opinion.

[XIVcaliber]

Niki and I*

That does sound awesome. Can't wait to see what you guys can come up with.

By the way, I'm starting to draw up rough schematics of my D&D campaign.

[niko2pico]

Okay.

Some mech profiles for crazy mech fiction/game:

Mech Ideas

Odama - 45 ft. tall, 113 tons, *army*

Large mech designed for frontline assault and siege functions. Employs a standard twin barrel machine gun turret as its main projectile weaponry, whilst its arms employ spiked wrecking balls to do melee damage. For siege purposes, the Odama can be set into a rolling mode in which its head is lowered, followed by the retraction of its legs after a short upward frontal thrust. Its arms, during this process, retract their armor to reveal a sturdy chain attached to the spiked balls. Once rolling commences, the arms become more like tethered flails, while the machine gun mount remains functional on the front of the mech thanks to a track system for both the gun and the ammo banks. The pilot, who normally resides in the head, is lowered into the center of the mech before rolling commences, and is able to view the outside through a camera link located between the twin barrel turret. Steering and speed alteration in this mode is accomplished by a series of thruster boosts. The bulk of the mech, coupled with its chained attachments, makes this mech an ideal choice for assaulting heavily fortified positions, clearing the path for other units to come in and take over.

Strengths- Relatively quick when rolling, heavily armored, powerful. Can overcome even heavily armored positions with relative ease.

Weaknesses- Wet or soft ground can cause trouble for the rolling mode, as the loss of traction and potential loss of the use of its arms means it must stay in a walking mode. Given its lack of weaponry options in the walking mode, it is best to choose another mech in these conditions. Loss of camera use in the rolling mode could also prove fatal. Finally, for combat in tight spaces, the size of the mech may be unfavorable.

Twilight - 28 ft. tall, 57 tons, *army*

Medium mech designed for melee combat. This mech employs two very unique blades in combat, one which seems to put forth pure light energy, while the other radiates pure darkness. To acquire these effects, two identical, 3 ton blades were treated in closed environments until the desired forms were obtained. The light blade was bombarded with a light particle as it was reflected off of pure crystal countless numbers of time. The dark blade was placed in the presence of large amounts of a black metal which consumes all light in the immediate area once it has been irradiated. These swords were left in there separate enclosures until they began to exhibit qualities of pure light and dark. In combat, the light blade makes razor thin cuts, best used for disabling critical electrical equipment in enemy mechs, as well as removing mobile parts, such as limbs. The dark blade makes massive, jagged tears as it cuts into surfaces, making it ideal for destroying armor. The chassis has arms with a considerable range of motion, and the movement speed of the frame is excellent.

Strengths- Highly destructive at close range, quick moving, flexible. Perfect for anti-vehicle and anti-mech combat.

Weaknesses- If the blades are to ever come in contact, both will simultaneously lose any special abilities, making it necessary for the mech to be manned by incredibly skilled pilots. Also, the swords begin to lose there abilities over time, requiring a recharge periodically, ruling out long-term combat as an option for the Twilight. The Twilight also forgoes heavy armoring for all out speed, so it is fragile and susceptible to severe damage from even light assaults. Last, it should go without saying that this mech, which mounts no projectile firepower, is an easy target for ranged fire.


Most of the technology is streched to justify, but then again, mecha in general usually are. Thoughts? Crazy ideas for weapon systems? Post!

[Dreamaniaccomic]

Ooh! Ooh! I have one!

Beserker Wolf - 34 ft. tall, 120 tons, Unique.
Going purely by a list of weaponry, the Beserker Wolf doesn't seem terribly unique. In fact, many military analysts who look at a weapon layout first immediately conclude that it's an alternate layout for a top-end assault class mech. When they learn its actual size (although its weight is quite believable), dropped jaws are not an uncommon sight. It is armed with four Autocannon 5s on its- well, arms, one Long Ranged Missle launcher (10) on either shoulder, four machine guns mounted around the head, and the pride and joy of the Wolf's crazed pilot: An Ultra Autocannon 20 that actually makes up most of the chest, rather then being attached to it. The mech itself appears rather squat from the huge amount of firepower laden on it, but it manages to reach a respectable top speed of 130 kph. In addition to this, and further revealing the insanity of its pilot, the mech is equipped with jump jets. It can jump neither far nor quickly, but it can jump. (Note: All weapons are of Clan make.)
The reason the mech is able to function at all is an almost complete lack of armor and a state-of-the-art cooling system designed by a team of brilliant and quite insane scientists. The engine and joint work is also custom-made, although not with the artistic brilliance of the cooling system. This mech superficially resembles a Mad Cat in silouette, but in full view it looks like someone took a standard Mad Cat, stripped three-fourths of the armored plating off, completely reworked the parts of the mech dedicated to movement, painted it all mottled brown, dark grey, and green, and then forgot to replace the plating afterwards.

Strengths: Absurd firepower at range (AC 5s, LRMs) and up close (AC 20.), lack of armor may cause unintelligent/unexperienced hostiles to lower their guard while laughing hysterically, faster then it appears, able to jump (albeit limited), capable of alpha striking at least twice before overheating on the third strike, and has an absurdly good chance of obliterating anything that's simultaneously 1.) In range of all its weapons and 2.) Directly in front of it.

Weaknesses: Can be one-shotted by damn near anything other then a machine gun (and thats still cutting it close), all of its weapons are capable of jamming, limbs are easily blown off if you somehow miss shooting the torso, easy to kill at close range if you get behind it, heavily reliant on cooling system.

The pilot is a completely batshit insane mercenary who is as skilled as he is crazy. His fees are extremely expensive (due to the amount of maintanance and ammo his mech requires) and he tends to occupy a the niche of 'extreme shock trooper.' While no commander with a functioning brain (or even a reasonably well developed net of nerve tissue) would hire 'Beserker Wolf' for defense or long-term assignments, he excels in lighting assaults and situations where other mechs can occupy the attention of enemy fire. His surprising speed, overwhelming firepower, and unpredictable nature combine into an absolutely lethal (but double-edged) weapon.

Lemuria
Weapons: torpedoes, hypersonic pulses, Aqua Dynamic Blade, water to surface missiles.
Purpose: A mech designed to be used in aquatic combat, all of it's weapons and armor are outfitted for aqua dynamic movement and the water around it shelters it from a great deal of conventional fire. The torps are used for taking out carrier ships and submarines, the hypersonic pulse can jam sonar and cause severe pain to all humans adjacent to it, the sea to surface missiles allow it to strike airplanes and land targets in coastal regions, and the blade is if any other mechs foolishly enter the water. 3 mechs go into the sea, 1 comes out.

Vague Recollection: The True Nature
I made some changes to the fundamental concept of vague recollection. Changes that will make it less serious at some parts, more serious at others, gave us some new powers that in my opinion are much better than my dumb ass old ideas

The story now revolves around the dimension that the main characters inhabit being connected (violently) to a multidimensional nexus the event taking place in a classroom, the creatures adjacent to the event were changed fundamentally. The main characters share several similarities with my friends but are by no means meant to be exact replicas.

Most of the stuff especially the custom mechanics is really just wishful thinking. Oh well, just having the ideas is fun anyhow.

If other people I know want in let me know, chances are I already have an awesome fighting style for you


It may or may not get done, but I promise it will get started at least.

This is the sort of outfit I had in mind, I think.
That, and I really, really like how this one looks. To a ridiculous degree, really.
