I like Dangan Ronpa's plot better, personally. Battle Royale has very little interaction, constant distrust, and killing off very frequently. I think with a good DM the plot of Dangan Ronpa can be reused/adapted to a rp and made to be very fun. Basically, people handle killing through the DM along with how they try, and he handles the contact with the victim and ect. That way the perpetrator is only known to the DM and the person RPing that character. It would need a lot of good rpers, and ones willing to have their character die off too though.

Plus the whole 'You get away with it, everyone else dies. You get caught, only you die' mechanic is a lot of fun, I think. :3 

I'm done with the Setting stuff for the dorm rp. Just need to outline rules, character outlines... probably actually make my first few characters.... ect. So its about 1/3rd of the way done. For people interested in thinking ahead, the city is named Nashua, it is a generally unremarkable city except that its community college is at a higher level than the much more remarkable city Herford that is just a two hour train ride away. There is also another town named Lovell a short commute away that is known for its school of arts, which bridges both high school and college levels.

Thats the basic gist, since school will probably be the main reason for people staying in the boarding house, those are the options. I was thinking of focusing mostly on college age(makes the most sense to be moving out) but allowing a wide range of ages if people want. Even a 50 year old down on his luck who is attending college again, or maybe just a local middle schooler whose parents are moving away. So long as weird backstories and age groups aren't the norm, I'll be cool with that.

Also, I'm making a two character minimum. Which I guess is kind of unique. So just keep that in mind, one of those two will have to be slice of life, no amnesia, no tragic backstory(beyond perhaps ordinary life stuff) not rich.... he/she can be INTERESTING, just not 'woah I'm heir to this company, I'm rich, and I can't remember my memories! Also I may have killed my parents!' and ect. A rp can only hold so many people like that and function. X3
