As for character sheets, clearly we should have something that involves in-depth backstory and logical reasoning behind abilities. Considering how most of us already have our entire characters, this should likely just be a session of copy and pasting.

Can we not bring up the failure that is alterverse? It literally had everything wrong with it...
Ah, so I shouldn't use modified-to-be-easier-to-RP Tori then?

Anyway, I assume that characters made for this game are alright too? Catherine wasn't in the group until the end of v3, which is apparently not where the characters are from.

Yeah, old characters are fine unless you just want a new one. Not sure what Akroma thinks.

I think you misread that, I was asking if it had to be characters from old games, since there was no mention of new characters in the OP.

Ah. Probably, I guess, I don't see why you wouldn't.

hmm, that reminds me I still have to hear KJ about this. It would be pointless to create a time-travel plot and not bring back Kyle. I guess I can still come up with an entirely original plot of course, but that was sort of not my intention

Well, funny you mention Kyle and time travel... :P

Anyways, I feel that I'm probably just going to stay in Trespassers to run my plots and play Ian so I should have time for this. So color me... periwinkle.

I want to ask: if it's based upon the tons and tons of lore and events that happened in the original massive RotMG threads, what makes this accessible to new players? I read through all of Trespassers, but there is no way that I'm going to pull that with another game, especially because this is multiple gigantic threads, even bigger than Trespassers, that we're talking about here.

Also, would minimizing OOC thread lead to pages of OOC in the IC thread? This is a pet peeve of mine >.>

Iunno.
I've never written down more than three lines of backstory in a few years, will it be mandatory?

hmm, this morning I started out with "hmm, what kinda story can I tell in case we want a fresh start, rather than just trying to build on new glory", and after long hours of train rides, I feel I have a very strong, engaging story set up for a fresh start, that requires little to no knowledge of any rotmg lore, nor does it need players to have a reason of being there - it will be provided. What it does require is people being a bit flexible with backstories, for the game will start with half of the players in an orphanage, and the other half, well, at the very least they should still be young and not too far removed from ordinary reality. It also provides ample reasons to let people join in later, for those who have not finished their charsheets in time.

and last but not least, oh god there is ninjas cutting onions ;_;. Yeah, this will be a good intro for a rotmg style game. ;_;

of course I leave this open for public demand, though since KJ seems opposed to revisiting the old plot, and new players want an easy entry, I am in favour of a fresh start. As such, unless there is strong objections, I will now start working on the easy-flow rules and get going on example charactersheets, as well as a short description of the starting setting for those who want to jump in immediatly.

I'll join if other people are in.

If we're going for a mature and open minded game this time around, this would be a good place for me to try out characters that I've developed but unable to put in other games for various reasons, such as that their flaws would be incompatible with the styles of other similar games.

And I am attracted to a more roleplay-oriented less heavy combat system, because while I respect anyone able to make some sory of functional mathematics based system for their game, I distinctly recall thay for being one of the sources of major ooc infighting in the last games, (the other major source of infighting being character/plot disputes) which is one of the reasons I merely skimmed over the threads and never participated.

Perhaps a new influx of playes interacting with the veterans will actually help the stability of the game? Or that could just be meaningless optimism.

In any
