[quote=@The Nexerus] Yes. Don't do it. If you have never participated in an NRP before, I [i]highly[/i] recommend joining one before starting your own. GMing an NRP is a different monster entirely, well beyond the normal "GMing is a huge hassle". It is essential that you have experience being on the other side, the side of the players, first. [/quote] Beyond this I would venture to say there's a GM-player inequality. Or I'd like to say, or I always have. ------------------------------------------ Frankly, just join one and see it through. You can find a variety of methods or styles or genres ranging from historical to fantasy to sci-fi to alternate universe. You may find titles that are stat-based or narrative based. So there should be something worth the taste. And if I'm allowed to plug then I do often try to kneel to a wider audience. In Precipice at least you're not often limited to nations, and I do allow various "non-governmental" agencies to operate in the world. And even single characters. Though, people have tried to play as these but quickly found themselves short on ideas on what to do so they end up dying. And in the case of individual characters I believe some people have been disheartened at their lack of obvious impact on the plot. But Precipice has been the sort of RP where we give less a shit about how strong you are and more about how often you post and write your own stories or work into the existing story and political dynamic. It's how seemingly unimportant second or third-tier nations like Ethiopia and Armenia are so highly regarded among us as players: their players just make committed posts (although our later is leaving for the Academies soon so is understandably going to be MIA for a bit).
