[OOC] Create-A-Hero: A Superhero RPG (Closed)

[Sep]

@Dedonus as in part of my plan had them unable to interact with our realm in the same way the greek gods do.

[VATROU]

Well I think this initial GDoc went well. I'll have the General GDoc up in a moment or so.

[VATROU]

@Dedonus @Tearstone @Byrd Man @Gowi @Fallenreaper @Athinar @fdeviant @NeutralNexus @KaiserElectric

Right so. Here's a Link to the CAH General lore Doc

From here, anything from Popular chain restaurants, Publicly known facts about Corporations (no secret evil corp stuffs just surface stuff the general would know about, unless you don't mind people knowing or you have already revealed it prior.)

[VATROU]

So, without mass messaging everyone at once, which I'm betting is getting tiresome at this point, I can see people looking at the notification pop ups and saying, dammit VAT! Stop spamming me! Anyways hopefully these Docs do take off and they can maybe spur actual conversations, and we can get a feel about how the world works and lives with all these strange occurrences going on. I was thinking if everyone was cool with it restricting access to just us RPers here. We can keep it view only to any who just wanna pop in and look around but I'm guessing at some point a jerk is going to come in and say. "Hey look a Doc Link. Ooh and I can mess with it. This'll be fun" And thusly commences to overload the thing with inappropriate content.

There are two ways to do this I think, one is for everyone to save the Link I gave you all earlier so you can edit it, and then I can upload a link that's view only. (Which I'm like 60% sure I can do. I haven't tested that out.) Or two just authorize you all by Email. Which may be a little disconcerting to some of you. I mean I don't mind myself but some just may not want to hand over their email just to edit a Doc file.

Of course we can just keep the editable like private to just us in the RP. And not have such a thing open to newcomers until they express interest in joining. That way the likelihood that someone will decide to delete everything is zero. I dunno what does everyone think?

@VATROU

Another suggestion, remove the displayed Links and pm them to the players/GMS instead. That way, if someone's messed with it, you know there's only a few people that have access to that including the GMs. That's what I did with the arc information and no one has a link save those involved.

[FacePunch]

@VATROU Sorry for not getting back to you yet. Been busy.

@VATROU

At this point I'm just a lurker with two sheets in his arsenal, but personally I think sharing an editable link via PM would be the way to go. Making a view-only link is really easy, too -- all you have to do is click on the Share button in the top right of the doc, then select the "anyone with the link can view" option. Just my two cents.

EDIT: Ninja'd by Fallen.

[VATROU]

Right, well I sent out links, if I missed anyone or if you're interested in having a link just let me know and I'll send it off to you.

[Fallenreaper]

Alright, added a link over the werewolves I've been working on. The way I'm hoping to do it should allow connection and plenty of freedom since I'm narrowing down to doing one or two breeds at first. The second issue I'm having is whether to make Kitsune more like possessing spirits or shapeshifters. I'm leaning toward spirits that warp and twist their host, like parasitic in nature. Thoughts or opinions that could help me decide on my own?

You added a Doc, within a Doc. Doception..

Shhh, as @GreenGrenade learned, I'm sneaky that way.

The fact that you said arsenal instead of quiver is a missed opportunity.

Well, damn. I didn't think of that. I apologise.

I have failed this city.

Easy young grasshopper, you can toss yourself on your sword arrow later. Finish that character idea first!

[VATROU]

@GreenGrenade Darkwing Duck is not pleased.

Let's hope he doesn't lay an egg when someone interrupts him. XD

Oh, they're practically done. I just want to figure out what I'm gonna do with 'em before I get them up, and otherwise make everyone wait for yonks before I get a post up.

@GreenGrenade

Depends on what is more fun for you: you could set, unless they are a pair or connected, your heroes or whatever up in different cities so you're not isolated in different groups. If not, put them in same city and sort of poke around in the OoC about people you can ran into or interact with?

@Fallenreaper

Nah, they're bros. Wouldn't want to separate them as they're pretty reliant on each other in the long run. @Gowi and I've agreed to let them run around in Grant City, but I'm waiting on him to give me some more info on it before I apply. One of their main villains is the head of the Italian mob, and I'd rather have established the where's and how's rather than going into their arcs half-blind.
