Asking Someone Else for RP?

[Blue Tempest]

Is it at all possible to ask around for someone to GM a specific RP for them? it's just that I wanna be in a certain kind of Fan RP, but I don't know the source material 100% to possibly GM it myself.

[Dervish]

I don't see why not. You could always post an interest check outlining what you're after, or directly ask somebody. It's not as weird as you'd think, it's not much different than asking someone if they'd like to be a player. All the RPs I GM, I ask people I know if they'd like to be a co-GM and they usually say yes.

[Blue Tempest]

Well I honestly don't really know that many people here. I mean I was here with the old guild, but Its been a long while. I don't even know if I can honestly say I can be a co-GM. It's just that I wanna be in an RP for this work in particular.

[Dervish]

Never hurts to ask somebody you don't know. Somebody randomly asked me to join a game and they ended up becoming one of my best friends out od it and I was with that game for the duration.

[Blue Tempest]

Yeah but theres a difference between "Hey, you wanna join my RP?" and "Hey, you wanna be a GM for an RP idea I had?"

[Kestrel]

Yeah, sure but try it anyway. You only need a single yes. Or post an interest check detailing your needs.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to somehow include in the IntCk title that you're looking for GMing aid.

If nothing else, you could always ask people here or similarly about help if you're unsure about something. While not all will have time to help you full-out with the actual GMing, they can help you with specific situations.

Your problem, if we understand correctly, is that you're not too good with the source material. Do you consider yourself passable as a GM in general, or is the help you need two-fold?

If it is just the source material (and not the art of GMing), then maybe what you're looking for is just as much someone that can act as a "loremaster"?

[Blue Tempest]

The problem is I would want someone to be the GM full blown. Both lore and duties. I know thats a lot to ask, but I'm am willing to already to be in the RP from the start.

[Kestrel]

Just do it. Here, I'll even give you what to post in an interest check;

"Hi, my name is Blue Tempest and I'm really excited about *franchise* and would love to RP in the universe. However I'm not very confident in my GM'ing abilities or my grasp of the franchise's lore. So, I'm looking for someone who likes the series and is willing to take up the mantle of GM. If anyone is interested in GM'ing, or even just joining a game in the *franchise* universe, please let me know by posting here!"

I don't see why not.

In fact, what fandom is this RP based on? I might be willing to GM for you if I'm familiar with the source material.
