tME: you're in.

Org (and Kashyyk ): I guess you two are in as well.

While applications for joining are still open, I'd suggest people start suggesting and voting on rules and setting for this thing. Once the general properties of the setting is determined, people can start whit heir characters.

As a player, I suggest something vaguely or tangentially related to the forum meta RP (VariusNonsense mythos), but less fourth-wall-breaking, and a bit less overpowered. I also suggest no permadeath and characters somhow coming back.

[Strife26]

It's pretty tough to avoid both the fourth wall and permadeath, isn't it?

[Armok]

DnD manages to.

[Strife26]

You've managed to play DnD without your character wanting to ask "Why is it that I can bring this guy back even if we lose all of his ashes and scatter them in a volcano, blatantly ignoring conservation of mass?"

 I might want to join, depending on how this unfolds and the general quality of the roleplaying. Although I have two ideas for plots that might be interesting. Either the world turns into a giant mass of deserts and everybody lives in a post-apocalyptic world where water is a major currency.

 The other is a technologically advanced world where the skies have been covered with machines. Because of the lack of sun, the world is cold. People survive on machines of heat, the valuable resource being wells of heat people use to survive and power machines.

My GM would point you I hadn't taken any ranks in Knowledge(thermodynamics). Also I havnt played that much.

Duke: You're in if you want to. As a player I vote against both your suggestions, but I wont stop you if everyone else loves them.

Concuring with Armok right now.

We have to decide, first and foremost, how serious do we want to be?

[Armok]

I suggest a balanced mix, consisting of a dark plot that can pose a real permanent threat to the characters, and realistic characters and behaviour and psychology, and no breaking the fourth wall. But the PCs based tangentially on our forum personalities, and the settings laws of reality and physics having fundamentally bizarre and perhaps even nonsensical properties. Think Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or Alice in Wonderland, except more gore and depravity and evil overlords, and slightly less inconsistent, think Problem Sleuth.

[Strife26]

So the second Kingdom hearts?

[Armok]

Never played it, but the wiki indicates that it's probably approximately a similar balance of seriousness and insanity, but I cant know.

How forumy do you guys want it to be?

Example, the world was once whole, but divided into sections. The sections tended to confine themselves to certain things. There was a small section where pronouncements from the God came down. There were areas for those who looked for knowledge, for those who wished to pray to the God, for those who quested by themselves, for the builders, for those who worshiped the world itself. Despite the sectionalism, people could travel mostly freely between the sections.

Then it changed. An entire section became chaotic and dangerous. Great speakers vanished. Then all life there stopped. Many people were lost. The sections started to drift apart, although some stayed roughly grouped together, and some formed their own underground worlds.

So a world that isn't directly the forums, but has an history and geography and mythology etc. based on them? Awesome, mix the BotG tradition into that and you got my vote secured!

EJ: I have things speaking both for and against you, but for now probably not.

Is it because I swore at you before.
