So I had an idea for a superhero RP.

But instead of the modern era, it would take place during the Reconstruction Era [late 1860s to early 1870s] in the American Southwest, Mexico, and parts of Latin America.

Any interest whatsoever?

Better grammar and better organisation of OP would do wonders.

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.

How could I organise the OP better? I think there's a part where I added some extra figs so that may be unaligned...
Any tips for the OP? A better intro perhaps? I'd always suspected I released the RP too prematurely, needed more editing time...

Also, is my grammar that bad? I find that when I'm writing a long piece of text it just slips sometimes...
Commas and some other punctuation marks are a problem seeing as my keyboard refuses to recognise when I've typed the key... :unsure:

Thanks for telling me!! :)

Hey look, I made an RP! And it only took me, what, two hours?

Whoever gets the reference doesn't have to provide an RP sample, but they have to state where the reference is from in their app post.

The glory of Rome; filled in with the rotten corpse's of the walking dead. This roleplay is a character driven zombie RP set during the late Roman empire! It will focus about a group of survivors trying to settle down somewhere that is safe against the plague!

I would join, but, speaking as a classics major, even the best Ancient Roman rps make me need a stress toy.

Generally, even if the OP knows what they're talking about, the players don't know anything about Rome beyond briefly touching on it in a European history class and so almost everything they do is wrong.

Classes resume a week from tomorrow. However, I'll be visiting my boyfriend at his school from the 10th through the 12th, so I won't really be online during that time... probably at all, actually. School rules say that I have to be with him at all times and I'm perfectly fine with that.

1. It would've been seen.

2. No thanks. Currently focusing on Excalibur ATM, to say nothing of the fact that I want to take my KW RP idea in a different direction than you seem to want to with yours.

Yeah. But, then again, I've noticed hardly anybody reads sigs.
Lib-left. Antifascist, antitankie, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist (including the imperialism of non-western countries). Christian (Unitarian Universalist). Background in physics.

1. I see, so the rules of RP joining is if it looks like it needs (structurally and member wise) help ignore it? Good to see support for the younger RPers, especially as this is an advice forum [granted its not only for that but any advice would've helped...]??

2. Ok. Out of interest what exact do you mean by a different direction? Did you mean as in different type [as in non-character RP]? Or are you talking about what happens after the IC starts?

3. Do you have tips for my RP? I'm going to repost it with many much needed repairs to the structure...

Thanks.
