Something that helps with large group settings is timely time skips. (That sounds so dumb written out) But for example; if you say an event happens this part of the real time month then by this time of the real time month that event is over, the time skip is complete and anyone who didn't participate will just have to write it off as a memory or whatever. It makes things a bit easier than waiting for that person who never shows back up to post, or the dreaded "I'll post tomorrow" and then tomorrow never comes.

To answer your questions posed:

1) I don't want to GM but I would be more than happy to lend a hand and do some co-gm'ing. I run a fairly tight and orderly ship too, so I know how that can be. I'd also suggest keeping the numbers large enough to where if people leave its not thread ending but not so many people that you can't keep track of anyone or anything.

2) Any year is fine with me- just that they all start in the same one :)

3) 2017 would be cool, to see things of technology mixed in with magic might be interesting!!

4) I agree with a little bit from both of those categories, I love when a GM has a overlying plot or direction for everyone to go, and maybe even decide some of the outcome of certain events- such as tournaments or tests or whatever. I think that'd be interesting from a player stand point too. "Oh your character failed this test and gets study hall" how they react can grow their character. Especially if we plan to do something long lasting- it will help shape things a bit. I only say a little from the other category because people should be able to make their own creative outlets too- maybe even something a group can be decided with events and story arches.

If no one else wants to GM, I will so long as Kathleen co-GMs. But I'd rather let someone else do it lol

1) I'm not confident about GM so I'll bounce to the whip instead ^^

2) I don't mind any years. I liked the idea of getting sorted into houses and being first years gives more timely reasons for explaining the history of a character...but as others have said, this might end up having a few months of RP where we just talk about back story.

3) 2017 seems popular and I've no problem with that.

4) I'd rather a meddling GM, like we all post our character descriptions and the GM acts as a sorting hat, decides on punishment for misbehaviour, gives news from the outside world (someone has robbed gringotts, escaped Azkaban, etc) and whatever else suits the story line.

I'd suggest that this would be a good training then. Wanna Co-GM, at least?

I am totally co-GMing if you wanna GM. But you can co-GM, if you dont wanna be the main GM.

A little something

When I am GMing, co-GMs are allowed to question, challenge, discuss my decisions and throw in all their crazy ideas. BUT every decision I make that is FINAL is to be respected and every decision you make / idea you have, has to be brought up to me first.

That is not because I need control, I'd rather just co-GM this, haha.
It is because you can never know what paths I have painted in my head and if people randomly accidentally destroy those paths of hard mind work, I will go insane at some point. My mind usually works quick and in there directions at the same time and you can think of it as a fast bike and if you throw a stick between the wheel spokes, Imma crash onto my nose. But if you come to me I can change the direction, turn down the speed or even stop the bike to think about it. No harm. Does that make sense?

However.

I would like to start the RP rather soon, even if we start with a smaller group and have people drop in later.

All your suggestions can be left here for now and will be brought into consideration. (E.g: do you want real classes or is this just a slight mention on the side? (Btw, I would REALLY prepare classes then... you can also play a teacher, if you want, but remember that your interaction with students will be limited then - teachers aren't usually best friends with students.) Story suggestions for the first part of the story (means Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, stepping into Hogwarts for the first time). Or whatever comes to your mind.)

All people who are TRULY up for co-GMing or GMing, please let me know now. There will be a group PM opened for it.


From what I have heard you all rather start at the same year together. And I would suggest we start at year 1 then. Time skips will hopefully move us along good and nice. The Sorting Hat will choose your houses. You are allowed to choose your wands if you wanna add them to the CS, but make sure you know the traits of the wood, length and core and that they fit your character.

I'll let you know all the information you shall put in the CS once I figured out all the things I wanna have in there.

@KahleenCuthald I don't mind being the main GM lol, just as long as there's a strong co-GM. I have a similar disposition towards GMing that you do. As a GM my final decision is the decision but I am absolutely open to discussion from the co-GMs and players, even post-decision.

@Melkor In that case, under the one condition that things stay as canon as we can be, you're official the main GM.

You can now decide how to proceed with this rp.

Here is the CS. If you like, you can work on your character. No rush though. No need of posting it here if not wanted (you can wait for the OOC if you prefer). Getting started will take us a few more days at least.


The Relationship Board was made for you to document any friends or enemies your character might already know. (E.g: A wizarding kid could very surely know some other wizarding kids.)

Here is my character, if you need some guidance how to write your CS.
