Holo there!

Jumping into an RP usually means asking OOCly if you can join, most likely making a character-sheet, and then making an intro-post in the IC which is basically a cold-opening zeroth-session that gets your character up to speed with the story and everyone else up to speed with your character; at least up to speed enough to begin interacting with you.

Making an intro, but being so far removed from the group their characters aren't even aware of your character until 5 pages later is less than ideal. I've seen it done, it can work, but it's more work.

Holo there!

Well, the upsides of forum-RPs is they're less prone to scheduling issues than in-person or instant-messages, and unlike RP via E-mail, far more conductive to people joining mid-session. Or just sharing in some insane actions one of the players took. Albeit not as dramatic as a livestream.

Being able to stumble upon and dogpile into an RP while it's mid-game is actually a pretty huge thing. And that aspect is kinda laid-back like roaming a convention and just inviting yourself to a table that looks neat.

That's the basics of the forum-medium.

So should I just start posting or should I still wait for my character to be "official"?

ANOTHER?

@Massasauga is speaking from experience with weaponized cuteness.



Edit: Alright, I'll stop leaning on the 5th wall.

Literally could set off a nuclear warhead in the middle of the city and then go “Oopsie, I’m sowwy” with puppy dog eyes and everyone would forgive her.

@Massasauga

I suppose Lilith could help rig up another backpack nuke for the occassion...

@Silver Carrot
Pretty sure things haven't changed much since this recap

@Silver Carrot
Basically... Everyone's more or less in Building #1's cafeteria, except for a very select few, like Theria.

Stuff's been breaking down all day/evening over the Condos, and we just recently found out - through a PA announcment - that it's the work of gremlins. Theria has issued a playful "Gremlin Hunt", where our toons must seek out capture these little miscreants (without killing them) and deliver them to the front desk.

The one who delivers the most gremlins gets a prize. A voucher for one free outside-world item of your choice.

I have no idea how to bring Eilidh back in as I'm still not 100% sure what's happening right now

@Silver Carrot

Samesies. But I recall reading a recap mentioning a gremlin-hunt and Velvet wanting no part in it, so we can annoy the hell out of her.

Right on time, @Massasauga
