throwin' out ideas

Before I do the "throwing out ideas" I just promised in the title, does anybody know how the comments thing works?? Sometimes it seems I can use HTML, sometimes I can't ... I'm just so confused. :-(

Now, to the idea-mobile. I'm sitting at work bored (with both biochemistry lab and physical chemistry books sitting unused in my bag, very unwisely as I have a p.chem midterm tomorrow). I've been trying to think of an idea for a new RPG to start for a while now, though I think there have been a lot of good RPG's started up recently, as Arcadia recently posted. It's just fun to start an RPG, I think, and have that power. :-P

Anyway, I was thinking for some reason I want to do a romance RPG, since I have a pathetic weakness for romance stories. But I don't think a serious romance RPG would do very well ... so instead of taking it seriously, perhaps it could be rather melodramatic and exaggerated. You know, along the lines of Temptation Island or something ... Maybe it could be, like, a singles cruise, with a bunch of good-looking men and women as characters, meeting each other, making out (not graphically of course!), horrible betrayals of trust, etc. etc.

Then, of course, to give it direction, some horrible danger would have to occur halfway through the RPG. Like, perhaps a dragon could emerge from the ocean, and the aforementioned (probably scantily-clad) men and women characters would have to somehow end up being the ones who band together to save the singles cruise so that it can go on its merry, matchmaking way. Maybe not a dragon ... but something. Something DRASTIC.

Eh? Eh? :-D Do you have any thoughts to add? Any better plot twists that should be thrown in? Would you join? Would you read it? Would you think I was a psycho?

EDIT: Oh, my God. While we're on the subject of ideas for RPG ... This one of Eternal Otaku's is going to be pretty damn entertaining. And, I expect BabyGirl's to be a great deal of fun as well. Perhaps mine can wait ...
