@Louanne Learning and @trevorD - This thread will be for discussing a new RP idea. Others who wish to join the discussion, please carefully read all posts before replying. Thank you!
I was lurking around the Roleplay threads and did think about joining, but ultimately decided against it because vampires just weren't something I was too excited about. I wonder if there were others who felt the same. Perhaps it would be best if the theme of the next roleplay covers a more broad audience. Something with less blood and killing, preferably.
That does sound like a good idea. And yeah, I had a feeling vampires were not the most popular bunch. So, if you want to help us brainstorm something we would all enjoy, please join in. No idea is too crazy as long as it adheres to forum rules.
Gravy's thoughts: I personally love fantasy-based roleplays. Urban, historical or whatever have you. I also like mythology and other supernatural things. For me, I have fun writing characters who are superhuman or inhuman. (Hence why we had the vampire roleplay.) But I am flexible and just like having a fantasy element. I also know a lot of different TV shows, Anime and movies, if you all would rather do a fanfic/fandom style kinda roleplay.
A fantasy-based roleplay would be nice. I feel like fantasy is a popular genre that almost everyone has read at some point, plus, with fantasy, the sky is the limit. I think that's important if you want to have a broader audience. People's characters can be anything... including vampires if they so much want it. Anything can happen in the ropleplay, too.
This is a great idea. I like it. I think letting people chose what kind of character they have is good. The one downside though is that I feel the characters need to be able to get along? Like a mermaid is good, but needs to be able to walk on land. A vampire as well would need to find something like an umbrella. The key is making sure everyone interacts from the start. Because I think where things went south with the last RP was that our characters were all over the place. (100% my fault as I set up the story and location.) So, this time, I would like for everyone to start in the same area? And also be types of characters people know. (AKA not from a work in progress and that goes for all of us.) However, you are free to make RPs of your stories, but know it's a RP, so things aren't going to be like your book. Nor are people writing your book for you.
