[OOC] The Dungeon Delvers Guild: An experimental Rogue-like RPG

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Dark Cloud Mmhm.
Yeah, sure. (I see you. )

Well, you can rest assured…
It’ll be harder to split the party in the future. ;)

[Dark Cloud]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Yeeeah :p

I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to run the rp and I would like some input. Because people can go in on their own or whatever, there will be several different separate instances. Here's what I'm thinking:

I'll post for an opening of the Dungeon, which any one member or party can choose to join. Once all settled, I'll open privet chats, much like how guardian runs theirs for the witchlight campaign. Using quote function, I'll post a prompt, in which members and first discuss how they'll approach it then execute. This'll go on till either the party exits the Dungeon, or TPW. Once all is done, I'll take the master post into a hider and post it into the rp chat here as a log.

IMO PMs is good if there is a potential for secret information, or if there could be a big reveal IC when it's posted later. But if people go off into the PM world there might be less interaction OOC and it'd be a while before an IC post I think?

OOC can be a bit messier but I think it encourages interaction and people can comment on each other's styles of delving which might encourage people to party up more/differently later. But it can sometimes take a while in a big OOC to search for that one thing you want to find IMO.

I prefer OoC thread more but I'd be curious to try the PM thing since I haven't seen it done as a system before

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

While in my experience, PMs might take a while...

But they are indeed great for secretkeeping, revealing secrets, and keeping things organized. If the party splits, PMs can allow the DM to decide when the players meet back up with each other that make sense to the game. Plus, there aren't haphazard IC posts if everyone goes their separate ways; There would just be one long post to encapsulate everything that happens during the time the party is split. Less of a chance of getting confused on what's happening in game.

Looks good! I had to look up what a Crocuta was, is your character a type of Gnoll then?

@Dark Cloud

So, I've thought on it. We'll keep the delving here. I'm not concerned on secrecy at all. Each dungeon is randomly generated on a app, so it'll always be completely different for each delve, every time. I was more concerned on organization and confusion. If this was discord, I could just make a new Chat channel, do a delve then delete it, but it's not. THAT SAID, we'll run the delves in the rp chat and any side chatter or discussion can be done in the ooc chat

@Dark Cloud

Only for Tabs, no need from anyone else

[Dark Cloud]

Why? She got a fancy degree or something? I can use MS Paint too *puts on monacle*

[Dark Cloud]

@Cao the Exiled I have a better idea, Tab must draw all the characters and get no commission. Sweet deal eh?

[Dark Cloud]

Jk lol

[Cao the Exiled]

Don't do that, she's too nice, Tabs might actually do it
