It’s a cool concept, but where does player action and the plot of the roleplay come into things? It’s one thing to have a good idea, it’s another thing having a good idea players can interact within.
Hmm... True. I was basically going kinda sandbox-ish for most of it, but I guess I will have to have a plotty-device. I was thinking something about a Purist warlord who has pioneered technology to effectively conquer other domes, and is thus creating some form of xenophobic empire, but I realise that's fairly elementary-level stuff. Is there anything you'd have in mind?
The problem for me isn't thinking up storylines, it's just thinking up ones that other people would be able to get involved in, lol. Once I work that out, I have a feeling my OP'ing skills would improve.
That could work but with the restrictive nature of the dome idea it makes it difficult from the get-go for players to interact with each other if they're from different domes or from one of the non-purist communities too. If you look at the above discussion about sandbox style roleplays and their disadvantages, and how to work around those disadvantages, that could help spark an idea. Otherwise I'm drawing a blank on a potential plot for the idea right now.
