Traveller's Cafe 3: Brainstorming, discussion, tea, advice

>totally didn't see the RP idea to gauge his own interest or anything.

eh?

I need a link to said RP to see if I want to join.

As for advertising, go to the advertisement thread and hop around your RPs, asking for people to join yours.

Oh, that. Kinda given up just posting links already:
viewtopic.php?f=31&t=318805

Got an ad up on the advertisement thread as well. Also advertised it several times throughout all discussion threads in P2TM that are relevant.

It feels pretty specific tbh. Also, there's quite a bit to read and one cannot tell which parts to skip. Also, pictures. People like pictures and most of the successful RPs I've been in had one in the OP so people can get a feel for what is going on.

I think how specific it is may be quite the problem to get around. I'll just spoiler the history, see if that helps to de wordy-ify it.

Not sure about pictures; have never used them myself to that purpose, but may as well take a poke around.

so heres my idea: assorted groups of 3-4 people in deep space all occasionally bumping into each other while going about there daily business and everyone doing all sorts of funny things? is this a good idea?

[Zeinbrad]

Well, I'm obsessed with late 19th century/WW1 era naval warfare right now.

What can I do with this? I don't know.

Dreadnought is Bestnought.

I may start the RP with us fighting entire fleets of Junks (is that what those Chinese ships are called?).

It will be glorious.

Uhh... more detail?

Imagine your favorite villain as a high-schooler.
Now forget that. But now think of it again.
Add slice-of-life and romance.
Now drama.
That is my idea.

[Asterdan]

No, the team will grow. It will be the largest Power Ranger Team ever. Three Different teams will come together in Part 3

Three different teams? Wow. It will be large. I'm interested.

I'll make the OOC now haha

No offence, but that really isn't a very well developed idea.

That isn't an idea.

It is, perhaps, the shadow of an idea.

@ Abserdia: Some guiding questions, to help you develop your idea. Why are these villains all going to high school together? What overarching plot will they be involved in? What drama can take place, and what can't? What do evil high school students study? Who will be the antagonist of this story? The protagonist? How can you give villain protagonists identifiable goals in line with what RPers can write? How do all these villains exists within the same universe?

Answer those, and you'll have an idea for a RP.

We probably have heard of the ideas of Hero Academy or something in those lines, so take that idea and turn it into a Villain Academy. The plot... Its a slice of life. Drama will be anything as long as its what your villain would do. They study normal subjects, but with an evil twist (History of Middle-Earth but favoring villains as the good guys)
There is no single protagonist or antagonist. Its an RP. But the hero school will come up sometimes.
There is no single goal. They all share the same ambitions though. To become the greatest villain of all time. And look up Cocoon Academy in BITF. The warp-pipes connect them.

In my personal experience, you need at least some plot to keep an RP going; otherwise, even if there's a lot of posting in the first couple of weeks, it will sputter and die pretty quickly.

I'm not trying to discourage you; in fact, I would encourage you to keep your original thoughts in mind throughout the development of the RP, so you should absolutely retain slice-of-life elements; but in general, people will get bored without some form of plot moving the action forward.

Does a Slice of Life RP ever succeed or ever happening here?

As in, RP about the life of high schoolers in their school, with all the stuffs experienced while in high school, albeit with little to no villains and more about the life in high school?

They probably never survive for more than a few weeks, really. Which is why they're pretty rare.

Maybe because of lack of conflict. I asked this question because as of recently, I started reading Silver Spoon, a manga of Slice of Life with the setting of agricultural high school.

Agricultural high school sounds a tad more interesting than regular high school, if you ask me.

Yeah. Especially with many programs to choose. Dairy program, Food Sciences, and there's Equestrian club for horse enthusiasts. The author of the manga is also the author of Fullmetal Alchemist.

I remember that they were quite popular at one point in time. I wasn't around then, but my friend told me.
But they've been pushed out by more fantasy-themed RPs.

How does a gladiator type RP with elements of Tokyo Ghoul and Deadman Wonderland, with a splash of FanT sound?

I don't know Tokyo Ghoul, but I did heard about Deadman Wonderland.

What do you guys think about an RP with aspects from The Secret Immortal Nicholas Flamel series and Dishonored game?
