"This is a train bound for -----. The next stop is--"

A late-night train ride is anything but glamorous, but at least this one seems to be fairly calm (even with the announcer being unintelligible as he was). There seem to be a few others riding in the same car as you, each probably with their own things to handle and own worries. Well, there's only one for you right now: get back home. Or, well, back to a hotel if you're visiting this place for the moment, but regardless. After all, it's well past midnight, and crime never sleeps.

Of course, the day was tiring, and so as you sit idly by, the LED display overhead begins to flash, a wave of drowsiness comes over you. Grasping tightly onto whatever belongings that you have, the screen above shows something that seems... Seriously out of place.

Next Stop: Relfan Town, Empire of Tewan

Before any thoughts of panic or confusion can kick in, though, you pass out.

However much longer later, you wake up. It's groggy at first, but the light streaming into the car through the windows shows that it's daytime. Given how it was nighttime when you dozed off... Was it possible that you were at the train yard now?

A quick glance around shows that those people with you also seem to be in a similar predicament, but before anything else, a chorus of cellphone text chimes goes off. Everyone seems to grasp instinctively at their phones, and each text reads something like this:

"Sorry~! I'm kiiiinda in need of some help here, so I dragged you and everyone else here to this world. Don't worry, I've handled all that messy stuff about possibly being missing, so could you please help me with some stuff? I know you're, like, not all strong or anything, but I've given everyone here a special ability~! The details are in the next message you'll get.
After you guys get your bearings straight, pop out of the train car and follow the road to get to the nearest town. You'll learn more there. Have a great adventure~!"

...
What?

A second message pops up, just as promised, but before anyone can take a look at that, the doors to the train car open.
And so it begins.



So yeah! A classic isekai RP. I've tried variants that were more 'out there' in the past, but this is the stuff boiled down to the basics. Complete with cheats for the characters dragged in! Granted, these cheats will be nowhere near as broken as they usually are in such light novels, but hey! Cheats!

Of course, prospective RPers also have the ability to play characters from the world itself, so you're not locked into playing what I like to call 'imports'.

So, without further ado, a form!


So yeah. Questions? Concerns? I'm all ears.

@PKMNB0YSo I guess it's okay for me and @VitaVitaAR to move our characters to the character tab, right? ^^;

@ERode: That cheat gets too far out of hand once you encounter even one legendary weapon, and the second you get one the world cowers in fear at your makeshift Gate of Babylon. Too much. No go.

I mean like... Having a legendary weapon in and of itself is not a problem (obviously not necessarily at full strength from the get-go), but this is a fantasy world. There are too many of those for that to be even remotely feasible (and also because that's how you make enemies out of every nation in the world really fast: by stealing their heroes' weapons and leaving their powerhouses defenseless).

The rest of the form is fine, though.

@PKMNB0Y
A fantasy world where there are too many? Like, do you plan for every country to have a dozen or so legendary weapons that only chosen heroes can use? Since when were those things so common? XD

And conversely, that cheat means nothing if he doesn't encounter a legendary weapon, because surely they aren't going to be going through endgame dungeons in the beginning of the RP. And hey, even if he does get da Excalibur, the ability to wield it does not equate to being able to excaliblast shit, due to his personal limitations as a normal human being.

But hey, ok, I'll think up of a better cheat then.

@ERode: Have you seen fantasy worlds these days? Legendary weapons are a dime a dozen.

But in all seriousness, though, legendary weapons usually have plot relevance, and worst comes to worst, they can be used to lead plots places. That sorta power kinda limits my design space as a GM, even if they're unusable (hell, it's mind control lite on sentient weapons). So yeah.

Not saying I'll use them liberally, but hey, never hurts to have options, right?

While her bio isn't like bad or anything, um, I did want to talk about things beforehand. ^^; Would you mind PMing me any more details you might have had in mind at least? ^^;

Well, since that character's got relevance for two people, let me know when you're both done discussing everything. Looks good to me, but just in case, I'll refrain from accepting it until you two are done with everything.

Quick bump.

@Aix, @ERode: How go the forms? I'm waiting on you two to submit before I get this thing rolling. Well, either that, or I'll start in the next few days anyways.

Edit: If neither of you respond in the next 18 hours, I'm starting the RP with or without you.

So basically, it's actually better not to respond, because if we did respond, you'd start the RP in a few days instead of in 18 hours? :3

Man, these cheats might as well just be normal powers though. Outside of having Wikipedia as a superpower, because geez, that's so OP for nation-building.

@ERode: Response means I have the okay to delay the opening further because people are coming and I'll wait for them. =3=;;

And, uh... Well, 'cheat' is just the generic term, though. They're abilities that nobody else in that world (Earth) is likely to have, anyhow, so they may as well be... In that context. In the world the characters will be entering, though? Probably quite powerful, but not overwhelming. Also balancing for 'cheats bashing into cheats'.
Also, having read a ton of WNs and LNs at this point? Yes, the internet can theoretically be an OP piece of shit. Problem is, though, if all you have is info, then somebody else needs to do the heavy-lifting.

Edit: But in any case, that form's fine in my book post-update. Accepted. Drop it in the Characters tab whenever.

And then there was one.

Smalltalk does help keep RP's thriving but sometimes it is hard to get it going. ^^;
