Been thinking about creating an alien monster hunting rp

[Demolition_Human]

So, I was thinking about making a alien monster hunting rp for quite a while now. I already have the plot set up. Basically its set in the future, and Earth has created colonies in 5 galaxies. One of these colonies go to hell after alien hybrid monsters from a secret research facility escape and wreak havoc. So now the government officials have to create a team of monster hunters to catch (or kill) their creations before they plunge the entire colony into disarray. That's basically the gist of the plot for the RP, but I feel I'm missing a few things. So, I was hoping if any of you had any suggestions for this rp. I would greatly appreciate it!

Ok so I'm already involved in a several RPs, so I'm not sure I can play, but I am interested in helping.

So basically we're hunting monsters on a colony world? Great premice, good fun to be had. Sounds like Evolve, which I think looks awesome and I want to get it on Xbox One, fuck the haters. Anyway, there are a few things I am wondering about however, maybe raising these will help...

1. What manner of monsters are these and how many are there? At the moment I'm thinking along Evolve lines; we fight one big monster each. But it could also be more Alien style, with lots of little ones, so maybe just clarify.

2. What type of scifi is this? Are there sentient aliens that we can play as, and do they have their own Empires as well? How technologically advanced is society; have we invented AI, cybernetics, ray guns? What do we hunt with? I've always liked the idea of steampunk spacecolonies, which would fit the hunting nicely, kind of like Victorian British hunters in Africa and such. But yeah, maybe specify that.

3. How will the RP play out? At the moment I just imagine going from one place to another, killing each monster that's causing problems in a variety of locations. But that could get dull, espacially if no effort is made to make each encounter and location different.

4. Who controls the monsters? Probably just the GM would be good, but it might be fun to let each player create a monster and take turns at GMing. That gives a good variety, believe me I've tried similar things.

Probably enough to consider now. Hopefully more people help you out, it deserves some attention.

It would be fun if each person created a monster or race of monsters and GM'd them as we got to them. There should be some peace time and politics also as we are traveling and trying to deal with local goverment.

i think it should be high tech but not overly. so we have better guns and things as well as transport but on the reverse side an older type of local goverment because humans regress in situations like that.

would there only be humans to play or would we be able to pick other kinds of aliens to play as.

I was in a Aliens RP a whle ago where we played as space marines, I like the sound of this. I will definetly be interested in this if and when it gets off the ground. Bookmarking for now as its late.
