A couple of random ideas:

Pirates - I love pirates, but there has already been a pirate dynasty.  I think it would be a little more fun if everyone was the captain of their own ship, however.

Pokemon - Ok, perhaps a little TOO 1995.

Civilisation - The name speaks for itself.

Speaks for itself, my name does…

...or we could try an rpg-like dynasty.

Hate to give away some of the ideas I’ve been tossing around in my head for my own dynasty, but since it’ll prolly be awhile before I actually WIN one of these things… ;)

1. Fast Food Dynasty - Either we all run a Fast Food joint or we all work at the same one.
2. Multiplex Dynasty - Everyone has to run their own movie theater, the one with the most success wins.
3. Terminator Dynasty - Killer robots anyone?  Hello?
4. Movie Studio Dynasty - First one to make a GOOD movie wins?  (Okay, a mediocre one…)

That’s all I’ve got right now.  An RPG-like dynasty would also be cool.

Pirates, and NINJAS!

Poke`mon? I had an idea that melded the Kaiju dynasty with a monster fighting dynasty… so, create monsters that are summoned and eat sanity or something, I dunno… I also have a card game idea that follows this a bit, so I’m keeping a lot to myself (I don’t want anyone to steal my idea! Not so much worried about anyone here, just the internet in general)

In any case, the Werewolf dynasty was the most fun I’ve ever had, because there was lots of hidden parts, and it was very immersive. I think giving players secret roles, or abilities, or something like that really makes the game interesting, whatever it is about. Teams are fun too.

Know what might be neat? A spy dynasty, with bases to infiltrate, bombs to plant, secrets to steal, something like that.

Pokethulu dinasty? Oh, I believe you might already have had a Call of Thulu themed one :P

Pirates and Ninjas sounds strangely fun, I also like the movie and RPG ideas.

Yeah, a CoC-type dynasty would be fun. Who needs sanity?

Personally, anything that allows me to write stories, I like.

“Glory of Rome”.  You could even make a Roman-based werewolf dynasty, where there are one or more “factions” who are opposed to each other and to everybody else (with the identity of faction members being secret, like werewolf status, and with political assasinations).

We’ve done a spy dynasty—it kind of lost steam and died right after some cool mechanics were adopted.

Actually, Hiatus started as soon as you posted your DoV.

Also, Blognomic has had a bunch of dynasties. Don’t repeat one of the recent ones, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if you repeated one of the ones that happend a couple of years ago.

Whoa! Jack’s idea of a Civ dynasty excites me just a little bit.
I want something that allows for intrigue and backstabbing. A political Civ game would definitely allow for that. Maybe a Star Wars Civ game per Yoda’s comment. :p
Pirates, Ninjas and Werewolves remind me way too much of Facebook. *shudder*

Facebook, lol. Ya, that app got old after like, 15 minutes and I realized no skill of any kind was involved. Maybe like 5 minutes, but I kept hoping…

A science-fantasy based one would be cool.

Like, lightning hands and laser swords?

Or magic powered laser cannons.

Magic powered or more magic powered?

So, what’s the decision Jack?  We’re all waiting….

what about dragons?

i was think something involing dragons akin to the monster rancher games on Playstation, if anyone knows what i’m talking about lol

Wow, I remember seeing Monster Rancher on TV back in the day? It was really trippy. Maybe a Dynasty that requires psychadelic drugs to be understood.

lol the show was odd but the games are cool

In general, less specific Dynasties work out better. So a Pokemon Dynasty might be pushing it, but a monster raising one would be perfectly fine.

Also, I was thinking of a space station Dynasty, where each player was a ambassador to a alien race. Sort of like Babylon 5, except with more nomic zaniness.

WOOT!!!

This hiatus has been going on long enough, Jack.  I think we have come up with a lot of good ideas, so it’s time to either pick a theme and post an AA or hand the reins over to someone else.

What is your problem, Yoda?  Victory was declared less than 48 hours ago.

That’s 48 hours of not being able to do anything but make theme suggestions.  Granted, listening to suggestions is entertaining, but there comes a time when it’s time to stop talking and continue on with the game.

That’s why it’s called a hiatus.  I’ll be making a decision soon, but there is no need to be so impatient and pushy.
