RPG/RP Unoriginality in Blockland Rant

[Mounds Bar]

They are tremendously over-used and are usually poorly made and generic. There are so many great RPG ideas, medieval themed, space themed, ocean explorer themed, yet, just because they take little to no effort and are conviently made, people make them, here's a list of all of the DayZ clones/Infected Bitch Tycoons out there. Not to mention they are flooding General Discussion.

For clarification, this thread revolves around the idea of an infection and or a resource frequent collecting styled RPG.

Here is a list of all of the current zombie/survival RPGs in progress:

Xolerate's Mini-map Zombie RPG: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=216682.0

Furdle's SPO: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226734.0

Xolerate's ZomB: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226721.0

DayB: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=219318.0 (Is actually decent)

Wafflez's RPG: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226452.0

North RPG: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226716.0 (I approved of this one, is still not as original)

JayZ made by J_Master: (No topic available)

Bravo's Swords of the North (SOTN): http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=206152.0 (I approved of this one)

Ike's Winterbite: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=215040.0

Gunny's Overhead View Styled RPG (No topic available)

Dark Secret's Roleplay: http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=226114.msg6415024#msg6415024 (Survival related)

Here's the thing, these aren't bad, but they are unoriginal and easily made, there was little to no designing effort on the plot, with the same idea of survival every time and running away from some infected starfish.

The verdict: Please establish new original ideas, there are many, many potential RPG ideas, you just have to think of them.

Thanks for reading.

The SPO project that I am apart of, entitled 'SPO's Red Block Nightmare' is an adaptation of the standard zombie RPG.
It is a western theme which is innovated from other RPGs in the past which have worked.
No one, and I mean no one, has ever made a western zombie rpg in the history of blockland.

So the boys and I at SPO have been original.

The thread was made for zombie/survival/apocalyptic RPGs in Blockland.

Not every zombie survival is unoriginal.

My suggestion is for you people is, the old zombie movies.

also maybe change the zombies' habitat, no big cities, no downtowns.

how about a disease that stroke out in africa?

these are just ideas, but as far as I assume I haven't seen somekind of zombie safari yet ! :(

There was an Africa RPG a little while ago, did you rip that from that one movie about those guys that camp out in the mall and the bitch gives birth to an infected infant?

i honestly haven't found many of the zombie survival slow player rare loot ammo (optional dlc: walk around and talk about serious things) RPGs very fun. i think its sad that everyone is branching off to make one now.

Hey does spo's red block nightmare seems pretty good.

This isn't about anything being good or bad, they are all fun, they need better game elements is all.

Its Dark Secerts, not Dark Secrets.

north was the first of these to appear

when I did it, it was cool
:(

also the North link goes to Darkness, might want to fix that

Also, my RPG isn't really zombies, it's more quick/deadly monsters, bandits, and wolves.
