<Snipped quote by NuttsnBolts>
Much like Broken Promise suggested, I don’t think it is a bad thing at all nor is it “overdoing it”. The more details presented in your advertisement the better. A good interest check shows confidence in the concept and proof of a relative dedication to the premise. I will never join something without a good sense of confidence and proof of premise. You attract better players through this method as well.
Am I wrong?
I always thought of an interest check as an idea that could be described in that interest check thread as being based off or inspired by someone famous/a movie series/an anime/a book series.
I won't go around throwing out numbers, but I bet many roleplays here have been based off of one of the above.
I mean, it's a part of a whole right?
If we had to write up the whole plot, premise, our strange ideas totally developed and throw it out there, wouldn't we be better off seeing a publisher to make money off our ideas. Then possibly putting in all that time only to have no one like it?
I understand the attraction to joining a fully developed interest check like you said. I understand that it does show dedication like you said.
I don't think there are better players and worse players like you seem to think.
But that's my little funk. In that its not better players, its different people with different priorities and different types of creativity and writing experience.
Its asking a lot to have fully developed interest checks for them to be the only ones you'll join. For me I don't mind helping build up the premise with the GM with suggestions if they're ok with it. I don't mind interest checks with not that many details, because they can be worked out later. Together with others, as part of a roleplaying group.
