[quote=@Gowi] Admittedly as a GM I am very constructive on my settings with defined lore and guidelines within a timeline. But do know that any timeline I setup is not entirely [i]concrete[/i] in Maximum Comics but rather a sort of "alpha build" that's waiting for a suggestion from another player. I am cooperative even if I am very pro-structure. I think I can try to work with everyone to making sure there is a balance between creative freedom and structured lore though I might need some suggestions and input down the line regarding that. I think a lot of Maximum's problem was it was a [i]decade[/i] into the "return" of Superheroes in the public eye which is why in the reboot I will be setting it three to four years after the resurgence. This leaves a lot of superfluous lore yet to be made and leaves a lot more creativity for players to utilize whilst still having a good background skeleton to launch from. 1) I've been considering replacing a sample post with a link to a reference post instead. Showing what level you write at rather than the old system I've had. 2) Make them better! or perhaps redesign a character that isn't great into being [i]excellent.[/i] 3) That's up to you and that friend, of course. People don't have to focus all the time on solo arcs, if there's a group story you want to work with then that is probably ideal and fine. [/quote] Nothing can be done about 2. It's just when you come into the game. Although I also force people to focus on one character for a while, so. Yup!
