Yup. I've got a bare bones framework and need to flesh out the skills. Once I have the basics down, I can work out more skills for different types of games.

RPG Concept: Doyle Academy
Setting: A former sanitarium, Doyle Academy is situated on Cobb Island, in the middle of the Supporam River, just upstream from the small coastal fishing village of North Yorkdale. High cliffs ring the island and the strong current makes landing safely impossible except downstream on the southeastern edge of the island the tiny beach has been fenced off and there are guards posted.
Doyle Academy occupies the center of the island, and is laid out like a small college. Grassy lawns, trees, dorms, classrooms, a library, student union, and a cafeteria. The school appears to be set up to avoid many outside distractions, thanks to a lack of cell phone towers. Wifi is available, but there is no Internet, just the Academy's intranet. It does, however, relay the news of the outside world as well as local news. (Rumors suggest that a landline and Internet is available in the Academy President's office.)
There are no set class times - students decide what it is they wish to learn, and get directed to a classroom where an instructor is waiting for them. The age range of the students is anywhere between 13 and 70.
The Office of the Physical Plant, located on the other end of the island, provides each building with water and power through underground maintenance tunnels (with security monitoring). What few are aware of is their power comes from a nuclear battery the size of a refrigerator.
Premise: Doyle Academy is a classified government facility. Almost everyone working for the school has a clearance. The student body are either government employees, people in protective custody - or prisoners who can't be held in any normal facility (but deemed not to be a danger to themselves or others - mostly).
Or among themselves, hunters and the hunted.
And you're the latest arrival - but are you another hunter, or the hunted?
Only the government employees arrive here conscious.
Requirements: Layout of the island, staff profiles.

I do too, but now it's darker, a bit more mysterious.

Re: [WRITING] Miscellanea's Misbegotten Daughter (c)
I think so too! But my darker, gritter ones don't seem to fly here. It's just you and me in the Silk Road rp. Lots of arc potential but there's only the one going.
So I need a better honeypot.
Can't do a Sally's.
There's already a bar.
Hmm.

RPG Concept: Oops!
Setting: Human Refugee Camp on Crechorus V
Premise: Massive extraterrestrial spaceships suddenly warp into the Solar system, slip into Earth orbit and begin to wholesale transport up humans, pets, livestock, a representative selection of wild animals, and all available food stocks. In the transport holds, Humanity is told that this is a galactic emergency evacuation team, they've been sent to rescue Humanity from a pending disaster. Only they're a little vague on just what the disaster is.
Within a week, humanity has been scattered to hundreds of refugee camps across the Western Spiral Arm of the galaxy, while monitoring satellites continue to report back on Earth conditions.
Six weeks later, as nothing has continued to happen, the aliens begin looking into the alert - only to discover the whole thing was a prank. Rather than admit to it, they announce complete success to rescuing Humanity and promptly forget about it, as returning humanity back to Earth would raise too many questions. (If pressed, they now claim to have rescued humanity from itself, quarantining the Earth as needing significant recovery time from runaway industrialization.)
Meanwhile, you, as a refugee human, have received brain-training in four of the six trade languages used universally (Spoken, written, signed, danced, but not colors since you cannot control fluorescing skin pigmentation or smells), an omni (that acts as communications, personal training device, guide book, identification and eWallet), and a modest weekly compensation payment to cover the loss of your world. Who's up to exploring?
Requirements:
Some alien races.

I've got the Silk Road rp going. It's independent, so an open port to pirates.
