Training wheels needed for a new GM.

It was a rainy day in "the Green Stallion", one of the many pubs at the outskirts of Doma City. Filled with locals relaxing, talking, drinking together after a hard day's work, while a noticeable adventuring minority was just stopping over, resting and/or gathering information.

Kay. Let me begin here-

One: That character was shot down. Because the concept just ain't gonna work well. At all.

Two: From what I read, you have...A single line plotted out. Beyond that, you have nothing. This is not a good way to start.

Three: What's the draw, here? I don't see anything at all. Even if it's not entirely clear to the PCs what their doing, when posting a signup sheet, you should at least post a bit of a draw-in for the PCs.

In short-

I dunno. If it's just a board CI, it could be done. However, you want this to be specifically around your char?

Dear Shini:

"I would not try to use this character in any plotted RP.

Rather, I would make him an NPC and form a plot around him for others to work with. "

YOU ARE WRONG.

Though this doesn't look too good so far.

When I was making this post, I am thinking more about CI (character interaction) between your characters and the chaos my character normally tows around. Like I said above, I am still plotting out the "chaos-storyline-tree", which will definately change depending on the characters willing to join this RP.

Also, thanks to Shinigori, I deleted the first draft. I now have to re-write it again.... :(

edit: SALSAlys, Banjooie and NebulaQueen, and even Shinigori, thanks for your suggestions. Lemme re-think this RP, and maybe honey-coat it lots more to attract the bees.

Well, you could still come up with a loose plot. Something more structured than just winging it, but still flexible depending on characters.

However, there really should be more to it if you want people to join. Something interesting going on, perhaps.

[Nick Shogun]

Yeah.. like a grab point. Like "A girl's been kidnapped" or something.

Maybe that's not a good example. But there needs to be an overall main point to the RP, I think.

[wkz]

See first post. Also, recruitment has re-started, post characters if interested.

[SALSAlys]

"Curse you, whoever cursed me?"

Sorry, but my impression of this is being less CI or RP and more spammy. <_<;; It just doesn't create too much of an impression. What interest would others have in him, besides potential curiousity or the urge to mock him?

[wkz]

I was going to let this attempt, and Mr Inverse, die a quiet death.....

Ah well.....
