Traveller's Cafe 4: Brainstorming, Discussion, Tea, Advice

Postby P2TM » Sun Mar 11, 2018 12:46 am

The beginning.
Credit for the Traveller's Cafe idea goes out to Esternial. No one else has done more for P2TM.

Image


Please take all chatter to the chat thread.

Note: This isn't a chat thread like General's Eternal Thread, Gameplay's Neutral Ground, F7's Flaming Wombat and P2TM's own The Restaurant at the End of the Multiverse. We'd like to keep things centred around topics related to this forum, and specifically roleplaying (tips, hints, etc.). Discuss character development, RP genres or wage discussions that you'd rather have outside of your thread OOCs.

There are people who have more trouble than others with getting a concept worked out. Others get it done pretty easily, or prefer to base their RP on a previous one to reduce their work-load. Then you have the people that have a concept, but are afraid to put it out there because of a possible lack of interest.

No more with that, I say!

Put your ideas forward here, the brilliant members of the Multiverse are sure to have one or two cents to add to your idea and mold it into a concept bound to garner that attention it deserves.

This thread is for three (3) things:

ImageDiscussion
You're welcome to ask questions, request feedback on ideas, or discuss ideas here. We have an official CHAT THREAD where you can chat about RP community topics in general.

ImageBrainstorming
You have a Roleplay concept or idea, but you don't know how to work this raw creation into something more refined. You post it here, describe your idea and put it on the table, then other members of the Multiverse get to give you their two cents - and some advice - so that you can trim off those sharp edges and improve your concept with details until it's ready to be posted. Stick to your idea, though; don't let others tell you what to do, it's still your idea. You're also free to put forwards your ideas here, even if you don't intend to use it yourself. Maybe one of the members of this Think Tank might be interested in it.

ImageAdvice
Any question you might have laying around may be posted here. This is a thread dedicated to 'helping' you out, where your fellow RP'ers will be the ones doing the helping. Whether you want pointers or can't figure something out, post it here. In essence, this thread is the equivalent of the RP'ing Questions Thread. Despite the myriad of capable Mentors, most have little experience with P2TM RP's and etiquette (if there is any), so I believe that we should have questions related to P2TM answered by people from P2TM. You don't ask a Frenchman directions in London (Unless he lives there, or has a map, or know a friend...you know what I mean.)

Note: For II-related question or general questions regarding your RP'ing, contact the II Mentors or go here. For a list of RP regions, RP groups or cataloged discussions on RP subjects, go here.

ImageAdvertising in this thread is permitted, but you might want to add a good description to your post instead of simply posting a link to the OOC thread. RPs that were previously discussed her may be posted and don't need a description if they have been worked out in this thread. There is an official P2TM RP ADVERTISMENT thread HERE if your RP is ready to launch.

We have two forms available. HELP ME and RP INTEREST. HELP ME is for general RP questions (How do I make an OOC? Can you look at my thread? What's "insert topic" mean?). RP INTEREST is what you use if you're working on a RP idea and want feedback. Please do NOT remove the #Mentor hashtag.

With this initiative, which is completely funded by my offshore bank account, I seek to help people work out raw concepts into marvelous RP fresco's. Nobody likes an unbaked bread - and if you do, you'll probably be sick after eating it - so get it baked here. With chocolate or without it, you're the OP. Mold that dough into the most awesome bread this forum has ever seen!

Turtle never tasted so damn awesome and so guilt-free! This is what your RP could be like!

The new thread. It's beautiful!
Local 22 year old Diet Coke Addict College Student Ruins Everything

Quote of the Week: "A NEW STORY ON WRITING THREAD FOR HALLOWEEN!! MYSTERY MINE AVAILABLE NOW!"

RPs I do
- How do you do fellow kids? You want to see something violent? - Artemis: Deimos Trafficking League (Horror/Mature)
- Descend into the forgotten tourist traps of Florida on this transgressive RP! - The Community (Mature/Black Comedy/Slice-of-Life)

My overall account that I use for P2TM and even for international roleplaying! MNM is a mysterious and extremely dangerous dictatorship filled with supernatural oddities, demons, militarized soldiers everywhere, and a misanthropic nihilistic dictator who doesn't give a damn. It's basically if the SCP Foundation got mixed with 1984.

Another day, another thread huh? :p If I could go ahead and steal the first RP interest post:

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: A Star Wars RP in which the Yuuzhan Vong invade the Galaxy at the height of the Clone Wars.
Genre/s: Sci-fi
Character or Faction Based: Primarily character, though likely with faction-scale conflicts as well.
Detailed Description: Currently, I'm thinking the RP would begin a few months after the Vong launched their invasion with a surprise attack on Coruscant, taking the planet and killing much of the Republic's leadership before beginning to expand to other planets in the Core, including Skako, where they will have killed much of the Separatist Council meeting on the planet to discuss the situation. It will thus largely fall to the PCs to lead the Galaxy in the fight against a seemingly invincible foe...

Need Help With: Fleshing things out a bit and gauging interest.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: You are a member of organized crime in America in 2020. Your overlord has decided that he needs to run for president.
Genre/s: Crime, Action, Murder
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: In the year 2020 people are praising the lords of time for finally bringing an end to the horrifying regime of McDoland Grump. With this and with the "success" of the regime, there has been tons of corruption in the government. Most of the frontrunners for the role of president are extremist leftists that claim they can fix everything and basically Hilter V.2.

As such, your overlord has decided it's time for some change. Your group has been getting more and more popular over the years, and your overlord has taken some concern. So has the general public. All of the politicians at the top are now against your group and are campaigning with that as their front-runner. The overlord has decided you have to do something about this.

The soldiers are assigned to specific people to influence. These are people that may be able to endorse the overlord. You also must do this inconspicuously. They must influence them in any way possible. Influence them towards what? Towards voting for the leader of the crime group of course! You may work with other people on one person, they might ask for your help on their assignment though. You're basically the reverse sales team of a crime group, trying to get people to sponsor you so you can have profit and safety forever while giving them nothing but lies and terrible propaganda.

Your overlord has decided to run for president. He has never been figured out and has minimal amount of connections to the group. The most connection anyone can find is whenever he was younger he said something along the lines of "organized crime is cool." to someone in his high school. The RP ends whenever either the whole crime group is busted and the overlord is figured out, or all of the targets are dealt with.

Need Help With: Realism and just generally improving and thickening the plot.
