Role-Playing on FAKKU

i wanna try this for once.

FYI, my RP still allows new players... just that one would have to read up about 10 pages of the RP lol. And I'll probably not allow people to join after like... Act 3 starts?

Link on my sig.

Btw, I like it when the players posts fast enough to not require me to prod them. =3=

Hey, if Rise get's to shamelessly promote the Madoka RP here, I should too.

Right now, I'm only accepting profiles through PM for my current RP, Nova Chasers. If you're interested, follow the link in my sig, and use the profile template to make your character. After the current mission is over, which shouldn't be too long, the rest of the members and I will review the PM'ed profiles, and decide who we'll recruit. Hell, we may even do it on a first-come-first-served basis, since the maximum number of people at a time I want in the ship is 10 to 12.

So...yeah, I'm accepting through PMs. :)

I totally support this idea!

Sound's fun, I always get a warm fuzzy feeling when I contribute to something.

ofcourse, im gonna join in!

As you can see, I think it'd be better if you guys who voted "yes" to simply go to the Writing section for now. :)

I would love to participate because I love to tell a story and contribute to one. I even have ideas flowing as we speak.

Mind sharing? You might wanna discuss before you create something like an RP. That is, if you're talking about creating an RP.

Well I am writing a story right now that deals with three of the primary forces of the universe, Light, Dark, and Fire. It is a story of three gods and how the Light and Fire have to defend their lands from the spreading plague of darkness brought about by a monstrous horde known simply as the Legion. The players can either be from the White Kingdom(Light) or the Metal Lands(Fire). Each land is vastly different than the other. The White kingdom is a land of feudal lords and knights of old. While the Metal Lands are similar to a steam punk kind of world. Your job will be fighting the Legion and it Nine champions to eventually fight the Master of the Darkness. No Spoilers quite yet.

I have no interest in things like that.

Hmm.... interesting. But it might be very hard to manage and control. So we have three teams.... and it's two against one? I feel a little bad for darkness, now. Lol.

Look here:



The forces of darkness would essentially be controlled by Nighroth as the DM. This sounds like a very attractive premises that I'm sure will attract a lot of RPers. I think you should seriously consider creating this RP after further developing it and analyzing what you want to see happen. Glad to hear of your creativity. In the meantime, we have a writing contest that anyone willing to test their writing ability may enter. I highly recommend you enter.

Well, if he's serious, I could pop up as Co-GM to lend a helping hand because something tells me that he may be inexperienced, so I'm gonna try and help with making the flower bloom properly. ;)

Though I may not take up an actual role. Just for providing with ideas and stuff.

Meh considering the strong, creative writer fanbase here I would indeed like to participate or act towards the creation of such a forum.besides, even with a smaller population of interested posters, it undoubtedly would have a large community then some of the specialist discussion forums here.

I think if he (assuming they are a 'he') has the ability to develop that story plot, he has significant ability to take his RP seriously and develop it as such on his own. I might recommend he participate in one before he starts one, however.

I personally would never consider someone who provides ideas and support a co-GM (especially if they don't plan to participate with an actual role). People who provide ideas and support are called a community. After all, no one knows more about what they want to RP than the RPers themselves. The DM is just a catalyst for their creativity.

From what I know, Co-GMs don't necessarily need to play and can be a supporting arm for the RP.

And I'd recommend him to play other RPs, too.

Generally, what a DM needs more for support is the entire community, not one specific person.

From what I know, the role of co-GM is often case unnecessary and creates a leader hierarchy when all the RPers should feel equal. I've never seen the role of co-GMers before the Zombie RP. You can do what you like, but if you do not start or develop the idea for a story or RP, you have no claim to be a co-GM for that story. It's the same reason the editor of a book is not called a "co-author." That's just how it is.

That's cool, all I intend to do is help anyway.

But I dunno yet whether I'll take a role or not for sure. It depends on the overall mechanism he comes up with for the RP itself.

You are always welcome to help and you don't need to be a co-GM to do so. I recommend you take a passive RP role if anything comes along because you sort of do have two RPs that you are leading in addition to developing a third. Careful not to bite off more than you can chew.
