Hello! I've been working on this concept for a while. This isn't ready to put into action yet, and I'm currently looking for whether people would like to do something like this, as well as comments to the concept itself, before putting any more significant work into this, like making art and maps.
Have you ever wondered:
Where do the characters go, when they are not actively participating in a game?
Whether between posts or entire games, the Fourth Wall Inn is one of such places where our characters can spend their time, just like actors once they leave the theatre or the filming set. The Inn is heavily inspired by the Villain pub and Super Café by HISHE.
Diamond Frost - Owner, bartender
Victoria van Dyne - Barista, waiter
Taraah - Security, game master
1) Guild rules apply, duh.
2) Game staff may make a ruling not included in these rules, if the need arises. The rulings will be posted on the newsletter in the original OOC post, so check it out periodically.
3) Rules may be added, removed or edited as the need arises. Watch the newsletter for changes.
4) Staff rulings may be disputed once, in case staff missed some information that may be vital to the decision. Staff decision after the dispute is final.
1) Only original characters are allowed entry to the dimension. (E.g. no Optimus Prime) This rule applies to expies that are mostly similar to source material. This rule does not apply to characters with customized appearance from materials that are designed to accept player choices (E.g. custom commander Shepard from Mass Effect, but not with their default appearance). You may use new characters here to test them out.
2) Multiple instances of the same character are not permitted to enter at the same time (e.g. two Jane Does , one from a DC comics roleplay and another from Marvel, or same Marvel Jane Doe aged 20 and 40)
3) Characters do not retain memories of what happened in the Inn dimension while they are in their source RP, nor do any other effects (Wounds, buffs, purchased goods etc.) transfer to or from the Inn dimension without the permission of that game’s staff.
4) The fourth wall is gone in the Inn dimension to a limited degree. The characters may refer to their players in third person, but the players cannot directly communicate with the characters and vice versa, nor are players permitted to insert themselves into the game.
5) As characters may need to be quickly summoned for their game, it is perfectly normal here for your conversation partner to suddenly disappear. (e.g. if you get ghosted, move on)
6) Death is temporary in the dimension, but staff insists all fights happen in the fighting pit. If a character dies, they can choose to be ejected back to their universe or reappear at the reception in the state they were in before their death.
7) Inn staff may declare special events that modify the standard behavior of the dimension. Participation in these is not mandatory, but their effects on the dimension may not be ignored. Special events will be announced in the newsletter.
8) Special events may award an in-game currency that may be used to purchase perks in the Inn dimension. Check with the receptionist what is available to purchase.
9) Looking for a job outside of being a RP character? Check with the receptionist about open positions in the Inn!
10) To make it easier for other players to reference the source games, the following post format is mandatory:
