Onix Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 [COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Well, if you couldn't tell from my new banner and avatar, Phantom of the Opera is on my mind. And when I get an itch that needs scrathing, one of two things generally happens: I start a novel/series/fanfic, or I start and RPG. This time, it's Phantom of the Opera. However, I have come across a problem. How to do a Phantom of the Opera RPG. A strict retelling would be boring. Present day has been done, and the future is getting kind of trite. I was thinking of maybe setting it in a different area/time period. Maybe the Phantom of the Noh Theater, or something. Anyone who's got suggestions, post them here. If I stumble across a good idea, this should start soon. If not, well, it'll just be another failed plot thread from the tangled mind of ULX. -ULX[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArunueShekamari Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 [font=Century Gothic][color=gray]I agree it would be extreamly difficult to do a Phantom of The Opera RPG. Although it's such a beautiful play and the most recent re-make was so astounding, it would be insulting not to try. Though I seem to not have any clue how either.[/color][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilt Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 [b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]I don't know why, but I would love to help you with this ULX. (I can't wait to see the movie. ^.^) If you can send me a short summary of the story to Phantom of the Opera, I'll try to help you come up with something.[/color][/size][/font][/b] [b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid][/color][/size][/font][/b] [b][font=Book Antiqua][size=2][color=darkorchid]~Sonata~[/color][/size][/font][/b] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 [COLOR=Gray][SIZE=1]Hon, when you come online I will tell you all the juicy ideas I had for my own version of this. Yes, I did think about it. Aren't I clever? After seeing the play on [I]Broadway[/I]....[/gloat] It was quite amazing, I have to admit. I was thinking of doing it as an RP or possibly an OB parody, Though the latter didn't seem like such a good idea with my lack of enthusiasm and parody-ish skillz (with a 'z'!). Yeah, so...I think RP is the way to go for this particular thing. Something I considered was either; a) Using each song as the start of a chapter and posting it as the introduction then acting out what the song was about. Though, the problem with that is that it would take people more time and effort to get good quality posts. b) Pretend that it was a play and the RPers were actors playing the characters from Phantom of the Opera. Have a [I]real[/I] Phantom kidnap the actor and take his place, fall in love with the lead actress etc. Yeah, that's my ideas. ^_~ Now come online so I can [strike]annoy[/strike] [strike]seduce[/strike] talk to you.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 [color=darkviolet]-Maybe a sequel or prequel to Phantom of the Opera. Maybe a decendant of Christine and a decendant of the phantom can meet some how? I don't know...I've only heard the soundtrack, I don't know the whole story . and please don't beat me it was only a Joke[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinkoru Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 [color=Royalblue][size=2] Auctually, I love the Idear of a sequal, their childrens kids or sumtin meet and finally nd up togather and stuff, ya know? But for that to work wouldnt the phantom have hada have a kid? I dont think he'd want anyone but her.. Anyhow! I would love to dicuss this Topic more and help devlope a senario and possibly be in the rpg. I think a parody would be a bad Idear also, why ruin a classic?

Ezekiel Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 [COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]There is one flaw with the idea of having Cristine's child and the Phantom's child meet. That flaw is that the idea of the Phantom is mystery and fear, yes? Now why does the Phantom wear a mask on one side of his face: because he was horribly disfigured since birth and beaten to oblivion turning him into a spiteful and bitter man. Somehow I don't think he'd be able to find a woman to concieve his child OR if his child would have a disfigurement OR if he would turn into the same spiteful, bitter person who haunts an Opera house that by the time he reached the right age may not even be there any more. Just felt that I should point that out ^_~ I personally think a parody would be good, Trev couldn't ruin this classic, he writes this kind of stuff too well. Of course, I'd only support the idea of a Parody if I was in it, heh heh.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...if the Phantom could have been so angry and spiteful what's to say that he didn't [spoiler]rape[/spoiler] some woman causing her to bear his child? Then the woman abused her child so badly that he ran away ect ect ect. It could work.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezekiel Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 [COLOR=DarkOrange][SIZE=1]That's a good point. Meh, it could work out I suppose. but ULX-baby hasn't replied to this thread in ages so he may not even be thinking of doing it anymore. Which would be a shame, he really should push ahead especially with all the good ideas people have given him. I still like the idea of a Parody, personally, and I would be willing to help if you ran out of ideas, hon.[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hevn Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 [COLOR=Purple][SIZE=1][B][COLOR=Plum]I say create a whole new story. *nods*[/COLOR][/B] You know how James made Kill Adam based from Kill Bill? It's kinda like this too. Same concept, different story, different characters. Of course, the Phantom stays, lol. I know creating a whole new story is bit difficult to do but I think it will work. Oh, and Methuselah's idea about the songs is really awesome too. ^_^[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onix Posted February 2, 2005 Author Share Posted February 2, 2005 [COLOR=SlateGray][SIZE=1]Wow, a lot of good ideas here. And don't worry Methy, I haven't forgotten about it. I've just been preoccupied. A parody could be good. I'm always up for a good parody/comedy. The children thing seems a little...trite, really, but could be pulled off well. Actually, I really like the sound of Hevn's idea. I didn't really pay that much attention to Kill Adam when it first got started (shame on me), but that could work. Keep an eye out if I finally pick an idea. And I welcome more suggestions, as I am not feeling too terribly creative at the moment (shame!). Ja. -ULX[/SIZE][/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danari Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 I was browsing threw google and I stumbled upon here and I happen to have a okay POTO game [color=Red][font=Trebuchet MS][size=2]LINK REMOVED[/size][/font][/color] Although the roles of Raoul, Christine, Phantom have already been occupied but if you'd like those roles just PM on my board.

Bio Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 [font=Trebuchet MS][color=Black]Danari, Posting just to advertise for your own site is against the rules here at Otakuboards. I somehow doubt you're staying long though, since apaprently you just joined to plug your site. Not only that, but this is a dead topic as far as I know, and starting dead discussions doesn't really have a point. So I'm closing this thread.
