Please provide as much detail as possible.
What do you need help with: Panelists for an "Overview of P2TM and its culture" Q&A Discord panel. Saturday, 9-11Pm EST.
With the NS World Fair set to start soon, I'm looking for panelists. I have plenty of peeps from my own social circles. I'd like to find people that are not - currently nor in the past - part of PL or Madhouse, so I'm reaching out to RPers outside my own groups or cliques.
Want in? TG me.

....I have no idea what this would entail.
Either way, guys, I was thinking about making a roleplay regarding zombies. I'd really enjoy some help. I kinda want to start a basic premise, however. Shoot out ideas and see what gets shot back.
My first idea was that a small town would be made into sort of a fortress after a zombie outbreak, either on a national scale or just in a confined area. The characters would be survivors that had either lived their already or somehow got in, either by invitation or otherwise. This would probably involve dealing with zombie apocalypse life, dealing with bandits, getting supplies, etcetera.
The other one would be that you're soldiers in the middle of a war, maybe one of the World Wars, and suddenly zombies appear. Kinda like what Call of Duty does? Except...more realistic. The end goal...well, I wouldn't be entirely sure about that. It's either simply getting out of there or finding the source of the zombies and destroying that. Maybe a mad scientist got involved, for some good ol' cliches.
The other one, building off the soldier ones, is that you're a task force that was sent into an infested area and tasked with getting rid of a the zombies, and possibly it wouldn't all work out very well. Maybe there's some complications, or otherwise. I dunno. Just tell me what you think. These are general ideas at the moment.

The RP I'm hosting has the characters as the first people with super powers they obtained by unknown means around a single township about a month prior to the IC.
I'd like to join a Superhuman or Superhero (preferably the latter) RP in a world where super powered people have been around for more then a month; a setting where costume wearing, powered, heroics are accepted due to the time they have been present in the setting.

I'm...not sure if that's a thing that's actually going on currently. I think they're all just starting out superhero things. Seems like someone would have to make that.

I have tons of superhero rp ideas with deep roots, but unfortunately i do not have time to make them currently.
If someone is interesed in the ideas, take a look at the dispatch in my sig and get back to me.

As am I, though plot is always my failing. I'd either need to have people share the mantel of operator-ship or someone else OP for this.
I'd really like a focus on a family of supers, so character don't go all over the place and the whole RP collapse. It's probably the best way to keep such an RP together. character will interact more often, have a common dwelling, and be in close proximity to one another when away from home be it work, school, etc.

1: To stay alive, appeal to both people who want open threads and people who want to stay together as a group. It really helps to have BOTH kinds of activity. In this RP, we had missions that related to the main plot, but they were fully optional. Sometimes the missions kept the RP alive, other times the activity back on the campus(which was an open setting) did. If you force people to stick together for a main plot, you increase the chances of the RP dying. Same thing with an open RP that has no central plot. Mixing the two has had the best results for me personally.
2: If you go the open route, don't leave things up to the players. Or people will get bored and leave. You have to have some kind of plot thing happening that people who aren't part of the 'main story' can access. Or something easy for people to stumble into if they miss their chance to do something with another player and now need something to do.
3: Try to lean on familiar locations that are described in the thread, such as a base, rather than letting everyone loose in a city. This makes it easier for players to have something to refer to when posting.
Point number one is the most important, IMO. I walked away from the superhero genre but if I ever come back, I'm focusing on that and staying away from a strictly group based thread or a strictly open world thread. Both of those have equal chances of dying early, I think. Note that all of this applies more to the superhero genre because that's one of the ones that has a reputation for large open world character RPs.

...like, the Incredibles? I...don't really know how I'd feel about that? Kinda limits creativity...a lot. I can understand a simple team of superheroes, sorta like a justice League, but...eh.
