No, I mean two separate rps having a crossover, not two video games.

Tiami is cool.
Nat: Night's always in some bizarre state somewhere between "intoxicated enough to kill a hair metal lead singer" and "annoying Mormon missionary sober".

Swith: It's because you're so awesome. God himself refreshes the screen before he types just to see if Nightkill has written anything while he was off somewhere else.

I don't think many have crossovers.

Don't think I've ever seen it done, definitely never successfully.
It sounds too big and unwieldy to manage really successfully - by its nature, you'd have to divide creative control (at least) 50/50. That often creates huge problems.

I'm sure it could be done. If there are 2 RP's with enough backstory and with sufficient work put into actually building their respective lore and worlds, it's really only a matter of figuring out how a merger of the two could take place in a coherent fashion. A bit of work, yes, but not an overly daunting task.

Which is why it worked when Nat and I built together, due to our extensive history.

However, the EH/PL failed, but not on any part of PL's OPs, who are excellent. There were many reasons for it.

That's a blank Victoria 2 map. Says so on the picture. Program seems to be MSPaint.

There was a Multiverse crossover RP by Rup, and then there was a Marvel/DC RP by Rup.

SO;
I had a nifty little idea for an RP that I wrote out and everything into a nifty little interest thread. However, with due thought and deliberation I deleted the post, and figured I'd come to this thread and toss out the idea here before throwing the idea into the whole subform like so much piss in the wind.

Therefore I'll give you the brief description:
There is this city in California called Santiago. In the suburbs of Santiago there is this country club called the Robin's Nest Country Club. However, instead of your usual snobby upper class people, the club is populated by middle aged, retired criminals who've all made their fortune in crime and are now living off of it in this city, spending most of their days playing golf with their fellow sociopaths.

Any thoughts?

So, I talked to Nightkill and he said to post here.

I'm looking for an RP to join. I want something easy going, not too serious, but also not too random. I'm looking for something in the style of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or similar. Anyone that can help? :)

That flag looks familiar :P

Anyway, there isn't anything too similar to Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy at the moment. Personification life is easy going and serious, but I'm not too sure on that.
