The purpose is to make things not be shit again. And old characters have been causing problems for a while. If we need to get rid of peoples characters then so be it.

Right so same lore, different place, different circumstances? I'm certainly interested.

basically.

The more I think about it, the more I like that idea. A few of the issues with this game stem all the way back to v1, where characters were being created based on the idea that humanity was at war, they were getting involved whether they like it or not, then compound it with v2's philosophy on emphasizing social interaction over combat, the result is that the current characters often do not wish to fight or lack solid motives for involvement in various plots upon moving into the more plot-heavy and certainly darker v3.

However, if these new characters were affiliated with something, such as say SERT, IRIS, etc. or just designed keeping in mind they needed a reason to be involved in the plots, they would certainly have a reason to fight and be quite proactive at it. Plus it would explain where they get their ammunition, more generic paraphernalia and whatnot.

My biggest thing is letting people have a choice and reason to join plots. For example, my little quest had a solid reward and had it not been to introduce the guy would have been completely optional.

So yes, them working for whatever conspiracy would be fine but being forced is no fun. Maybe something like ER would be good.

I wouldn't like to lose my characters personally.

I'm sorry to hear that. Although what we're talking about makes me wonder if having it be a straight new game or just a spin off would be better.

[USEC_OFFICER]

No-one would, we all get attached to our characters.

Aside from starting another game off the side ((which I was going to do, in the style of a backwater magical academy where the idiots, troublemakers and the unwanted get sent (cause drama))), doing this will be messy.

I might actually be interested in that idea, Smurfington.

I'm pretty sure that everyone is interested in that idea. Or at least everyone here. Including myself.

[wolfchild]

I would be, although the elementalist probably would not be there, unless there was power incontinence involved

[kj1225]

I'd prefer someone other than Smurf GM it though. I'll volunteer to GM it even.

[Kansa]

A spin off game would be much preferable, that way it is optional and we can still keep our characters and their dynamics here if we want.

[PrivateNomad]

Spin-off game? Sure, now I can use some of my character concepts.

[kj1225]

I of course already volunteered to GM it since I'd like to make a successful game for once.

Hey, I hijack game ideas, not the other away around

But yeah, if no-one wants me to GM it, I'll palm the few resources I have off to the elected GM.

[kj1225]

I'd very much prefer running it as I am in doubt of your abillity to be an interesting GM.

[Rolepgeek]

I'll also volunteer as the GM, as a counter to Kj's rather rude behavior.

Your idea of interesting does not constitute interesting for everyone, Kj.

I would be more than willing to co-GM, or assist any GM, as well.

Well, screw you too then

Yay, I'll send you the very little I have.

[kj1225]

Oh come on, you act as if every plot being all battle and no thinking is fun. Maybe for a certain type of person but...

The fact remains that you were rude, and Rolepgeek wasn't. It's not exactly like you lot are big on the thinking, either

[Rolepgeek]

In all fairness, any plots I run will probably be either woefully overcomplicated or woefully un-thought out. It depends on my state of mind when I crafted it in my lair.

[Empiricist]

Then how about a dual-GM system? Just have each GM select an assistant of their choice to help review ideas and whatnot.
