Might be better to focus on the Pirate group or Marine group instead of trying to have your cake and eat it too. Giant anime sandboxes always end up have a lack of focus which devalues the story the GM is trying to tell. Also gives you less work.
That's where the Guided Part in the Guided Sandbox will be hashing down. I hate RP based on a single group because it gives little toe no room to flesh a character put individually; I hate when character progression is dependent on the group vs the efforts of individual players. Ill have some time to give it a better structured explanation today; probably.
But for now just think of THIS concept. There's about 5-6 different routes to the Grand Line; instead of exploring every island individually there'd be a choice between a choice between islands per arc where the role player groups will decide upon themselves where to take their story for that particular arc. This in my opinion gives the illusion of a sandbox (entirety of islands to explore and expand) but still be under control and managed (limit story based options)
Agreed on the need to focus on 1 group, but if the GM feels like they can handle it then it might be possible for them to do both group.
I am more partial to the marines, but that is my preference.
As you may already know of course; the group size and number will be determined on the amount of players. Though NPC creation will be allowed to an extent. Im willing to play damn near anything in this particular universe to be honest but id hate to be a Marine under Sakazuki right now 😂😂😂
Haven't done anything like this in years so I may be a tad bit rusty; may or may not need assistance who knows but we will see. Hopefully, if I have the will and interest to do it ill be starting up an old concept on a One Piece RP I had any years ago. With the new developments in the ongoing series I see a lot of potential in being apart of or creating an RP based on in its genre. The world of One Piece is forever growing and I want to take advantage of such an in-depth series and with the cooperation of other RPers expand on the already expansive universe.
Within the hider/spoiler is the old OOC Post for "3D2Y" that I will be revamping and correcting over the next two weeks to establish a final product though I'm posting it here now to receive feedback. What do you as role-players want to see; not just in a OPRP but in a successful RP in general.
**GUIDED SANDBOX**
"The One Piece does exist". ~
Edward "Shirohige" Newgate.
Across the four blues, stretching over the Red Line, through Paradise and Hell of the Grand Line lies a legendary treasure. Unmeasured fame. Unmatchable power.d Ever lasting wealth. Just when The World Government thought they were ending a war, in actuality their causality was much bigger. They allowed for Whitebeard to inspire a generation more threatening than the Saiaku no Sedai (Supernovas).
With the start of the New Age, a new wave of pirates went to sea looking for One Piece, having heard Whitebeard confirm its existence. A number of pirates from the previous era escaped Level 6, and it was noted by X Drake that a new age also means that the Marines themselves now must change with this. However the exact direction this new era will take is still as of yet unknown.
Now a short 3 days after the death of Shirohige and his 2nd Division commander Fire Fist Ace a noticeable increase in pirate activities has surfaced. Too much for Justice to stand idle. Thanks to the death of Whitebeard, a new age has begun upon the world and the "Age of Pirates" that Roger established has ended. Thus, begins a new time for Marines as well. With the greatest Marines, Sengoku and Garp resigning, a power vacuum for the position of fleet admiral has occurred. Despite Sengoku's recommendation for Aokiji to take his position, the other higher echelons and new faces felt more worthy. The decision was decided over a 10-day battle between Aokiji and Sakazuki.
To compensate the loss of much military powers, the World Government granted the Marines unprecedented power, and with Sakazuki, as the new fleet admiral, the organization has become an overall much more powerful organization of justice ever since.
At the start of the storyline, the New Age has arrived. This New Age of Piracy was brought upon by changes in the world. Various characters who have mentioned it either spoke of a world on the verge of chaos, or a great age where pirates no longer chase their dreams.
Welcome all to the epicness of "3D2Y". For those of you who were not active in the in the interest check this is an RP based off the world of One Piece. Long has the days of Gol D. Roger passed and what is known as the New Age has begun. With the usual protagonists' laying low and training, the seas have opened new doors and opportunities have presented themselves for both justice and piracy. You are in control of the world's fate. What lies ahead can only be foretold by yourself. Decide the next step in The World Governments fight against the tyranny caused by those labeling themselves as pirates. Be the reason the World Government topples and drowns. Our future as role players holds countless of possibilities.
Hey guys, the almighty Brxvo here to oversee that things go smoothly. Rules should not have to be explained to experienced RPers like yourselves. Though I will go over a few things. So without further ado...
Rules &Tips
The common guild rules apply to this RP as any other.
Please if you are to be absent from the RP make a plausible reason for your characters absence also. This will prevent you trapping another player's character in an escapable scenario.
Do not be afraid to question my judgement. You have the right to your own opinion that I must respect.
Enjoy yourselves people. If you aren't satisfied please let it be known I'll try to make the most rational decisions.

If it's lore it goes. If passable within the One Piece universe then I'd say I'm left with no choice but to accept it.

Here you will be able to follow the events within IC. After anything major or significant happens it will be posted here. Large changes in bounty and rank. This will also tell of events happening across the world unrelated to yourselves. Giving you chances to take part in everything.
Thats great. Im looking to start out with about 3-4 crews with 2-3 people in each crew then rest of the crew would be simple fodded/npc. I basically want a total of say around 10 players in total. split between justice and piracy.
I want to do a total reboot of a One Piece RP I had set up in the past. Greatness was possible with a little more help. Ill be requesting some tips and guidance from a few vets from the site and hopefully find a FEW Co-GMs to assist me in running it. The concept for the RP is too large for a single GM. Anyways here goes.
