Topic: The RP planning thread

[Yokto]

Well i am just going to sit back and watch but i see you when with at least describing vampires a little bit which i think is good (Due to all the diffrent views about vampires.)

I just hate that you mentioned Buffy. I just hate Buffy (And all stuff that haves to do with Buffy) but i may be the only one. But i think i am going off topic now.

[PatMan33]

Well, you may hate Buffy but it brought a lot of that vampire stuff to the mainstream and I think that is a good enough reason to use it as a template.

Remember, the game we play is one of accessibility, not a game of alienating people who don't know as much as someone else. Everyone has to be able to play and that means designing the RP for the lowest common denominator: the people who know nothing about vampires.

[Yokto]

Yeah sure. But i am not sure it is as mainstream as you think

But it is good like i said that you made some things that was common. (Independent on whether you where inspired by buffy or not.)

Anyway is this going to a play by post game you where planing? No GMs or anything?

[PatMan33]

It's an RP like the Superpower RP. That is the only kind of RP that is planned in this topic.

But heck, I don't even need to do it now since I've gotten clearance to use a vampire in the next Historical Superpower RP. Yeah, I was being selfish, but I'm allowed to do that every now and again.

[Yokto]

He he. I just asked because i have seen a few diffrent kinds of RPs on the forum. Not everything is as clear as you might think it is.

[PatMan33]

You made it a point a few nights ago in Gabbly to show me that you knew a whole lot more about Vampires than I did so feel free to make the RP if you want because I've jumped ship on that idea. I got what I wanted so I don't need to worry about it any more.


Oh hey, we're going to be finishing the Superpower RP in a month or two so feel free to hop in on the planning for part two, Yokto. It'd be great if you joined us!

The third Historical RP will be starting in a few weeks as well, most likely.

[Didero]

I don't know how many people would like a vampire RP, but I think it depends on the number of possible participants whether or not a vampire RP should be created. If there was one, I'd like to join, even though I don't know that much about vampires.

[PatMan33]

Well, if an RP gets made it will most likely be built to accommodate the lowest common denominator so you won't need to worry about not knowing enough.

[Didero]

I know, I wasn't worried. I just meant with my post that we should find out how many people would want to join a vampire RP.

[PatMan33]

Following past trends, if you plan the RP in this topic and the idea seems good, you will at least get the folks in the Superpower RP and a Sltlamina.

[Didero]

And me

[PatMan33]

So that's like... six or seven people!

 

Not too shabby!

Hey, are you going to join The NEW Superpower RP II when we start it?

[Didero]

I don't know, there's a lot of backstory to the Superpower RP, right? Maybe I'll just wait for the new volume of the Historic Superpower RP.

[PatMan33]

The second part of the NEW Superpower RP will run just like the Historical RPs do.

You won't need to know much, certain things will carry over but they will be explained along the way. The only difference is that this RP will be longer than the Historical RPs so you would still want to join as early on as possible since it will not have the handy refresh feature that you get with each new Historical RP.


Plus, the second Superpower RP will be 60 years after the events of the first Superhero RP so there will be PLENTY of room for everyone, new folks included, to mold the world.

[Didero]

I'll think about joining, and about a possible character. It has the same character creation rules of the Historical Superpower RP, right? Almost anything goes?
