Persona themed 5e game

Now I want Cthulhu to be my persona

[Lucius Cypher]

things are getting kinda messy on my end, but I'll work towards making something of an OOC. I take it that you all will be my crew?

Might have to sit this one out, unfortunately. Already part of a few RPs and I've some stuff going on for the next couple of months. Sorry, and I hope you all have a good RP ^^

[Lucius Cypher]

Alright, I just need one more before I start this party then. I'll get some groundwork done in the meantime.

[Lucius Cypher]

Bump for interest. I'm still pretty busy but I have a slightly more coherent idea for the RP.

While before I was thinking of ripping from Persona 5 and escalate the threat from the school to a wider state, I'm thinking that instead most of the threats you all will be dealing with are mostly localized ala persona 4. Sure you might deal with something like a corrupt cop or maybe the local crime gang, but you're not going to be diving into the dungeon of a Presidential Candidate or something zanny like that.

Also, I'm thinking of setting the campaign in somewhere in America, since I'm not actually that privy to all of the Japanese laws and such to not basically make it America anyways. Plus this gives us a justifiably versatile cast on top of being a school for outcast and delinquents, who may or may not just be weebs.

[Lucius Cypher]

Another bump to show that this is still alive.

For those who are still with us, what are your thoughts about a sorta "Open World" type of campaign? Where basically there is t too much if a specific plot, and more that you and the group have to go out of your way to find the plot yourselves. Personally I was thinking of just doing it in a typical chapter like formula i.e. first chapter will have you fight one guy, next chapter we do build up until the next boss fight, etc etc.

Open world is good if you actually have stuff you wanna do that isn't just a dungeon crawl and fighting, like if you wanna engage with the crafting system, make cash, RP with folks, etc but if everyone isnt really into that there will inevitably be that one fighter or barbarian who has nothing to do, because their class features dont give them much if anything to do that someone with better class skills couldn't accomplish. And even if you do have a niche you could try to fulfill, it'll be an uphill battle to accomplish much unless I throw low DC's at you. Which I could, depending on the context.

@Lucius Cypher

That sounds great to me. ^_^

[Vertigo]

I guess I'd prefer something in between? I find that pure sandboxes don't tend to survive for long, especially if the group is small. So the chapter kind of approach where we build up to one antagonist at a time, maybe with downtime in between (that could then involve other activities) would be best imo.

[Lucius Cypher]

Yeah, a sorta persona 5 approach. You got like a month or so before something big goes down, but you could possibly end it early and still have the rest of the few days to grind and such, or we can just skip to the end or something.

Either way, we can either wait for a 4th, or I can just throw up a OoC and see who bites. I find that folks tend to stumble upon the OOC to join too.

@Lucius Cypher

I think throwing up an OOC might be the better idea. I've noticed more people show interest when it's up as well. ^^"

[Vertigo]

Agreed with Haruki, the OOC sounds like a good idea!

[Dark Cloud]

Indeed, that is often times the case.

Just dropping by to bump. Things have been busy in my life so on one hand, I probably shouldn't RP too much so I can focus on this new chapter in my life. On the other hand, I do still wanna do this. Feel free to ask any questions, suggestions, or drop some character concepts here while I'm sorting my life out.

Hiya Lucius!
No worries. We understand if you need to take time away. (Heck, the same life status probably applies to me. ^^")

Real Life > Role-play.

Took a million years, but I got an OOC up. Feel free to jump in chums!
