What's the point of trying to draw in new blood with what we all pretty much agree are the most hackneyed and overused story templates?

Because it might well only seem hackneyed to people who've dealt with it for so long, like us (or at least most of you?)

Though, to be honest, I do contemplate doing one of those "pick a country from this map the year is X" RPs, even if I only encourage rather than OP it.

We should do one with a group of teenagers who think they have superpowers but are really in a mental institution.

Do one with a group of people who think they are doing all sorts of weird cool stuff, but who are actually sockpuppets of a bunch of strange people on an internet forum.

Minus the Lobotomy.

How about a band RP? It's totally not because I'm amazed on how this one band went from making one of my favorite songs to being shitty.

In record time too, one album.

Wouldn't the Iraqi army just allow them free passage back home? Else it'd be possession of a WMD, and we all know how that went down last time.

Yeah, but music doesn't really translate well into written form. And you'd have to come up with original lyrics and shit, and personally, its hard for me to appreciate lyrics without the music to back them up, and how many of us are musically talented enough to both be in a well-written RP about a band, and make the music for said band? Assuming we're not talking about RPing bands and music that already exist, which seems rather pointless, unoriginal, and contradicts the "well-written" thing.

I was kidding.

Anyways, I'm being forced to watch the anaconda music while listening to the original.

Anyone have a thing to forget this?

Judging by what I've seen superpowered teens are the thing in the superhero business.

Superpowered teens RP, while attracting players, is an overused material.
