Despite every instinct telling me otherwise, sometimes loudly, I decided to make a 100% unplanned and unplotted roleplay.
Aim of the game is purely to see if posts can be fun without any kind of superstructure. The environment, background, and NPC population is entirely open to improvisation from all players. Characters need no sheet; They're defined entirely by their thoughts and actions.
The 'rules' are as follows.
-With each post, something must happen. This must involve the actions of your character, and advance the interactions in a way that can be a base for a variety of answers.
-Similarly, each post must build on the actions of others in some way.
-Don't put your character in a position where leaving would cripple interactions for other characters.
-Don't be afraid to make minor inferences about the behaviour of other characters, especially those who haven't posted recently, so your character has some way of ending interactions with absent players.
-Feel free to reveal more of the setting as you imagine it in any post. You may introduce new concepts or NPCs at will.
-Do not introduce large or game-changing setting traits in a single post. If you do want to, chat about it out of character first.
-The OOC can be used for pretty much any vaguely story- or character-related banter. Discuss ideas and theories until they stop being interesting. Then post memes. (Responsibly, mind.)
-I actually want to keep the game fairly lighthearted. The tone can be comedic if you feel like you can pull it off. Just remember that funny is rarely silly or random.
To start playing, pop a character image, very brief description, name and simple abilities list in the character thread. Your character can be anything that makes you happy. Make sure to link the artist.
Then go nuts.
