Hello ladies and gents and others! This is my very unofficial interest check for an upcoming roleplay that I will GM! Please keep in mind that this idea is very rough around the edges, and it will be my first time GMing, so any help will be much appreciated <3
What in the hell is this?!
This will be a very simplistic slice-of-life, high school-themed roleplay. Yes, I know, there are already plenty of them out there and this is most likely one of the most unoriginal ideas on the planet, but I wanted this to be a very basic starting point that will hopefully blossom into something that me and, more importantly, you will find to be a very valuable roleplaying experience. Instead of this being a large group roleplaying with a variety of cliques, we will be focusing on a group of 7 or so students that, no matter how different, are somehow a pretty close friendship group.
The roleplay will, of course, be mostly character driven, but i will be putting into place a system in which the plot will loosely revolve around that I will explain soon. The setting is one of the things I may need some help with. It would be ideal for this to be based in a typical American high school, however, since I am from the UK, I am not too familiar with the school system in place in the USA. I'm also hazy on the age group of the characters, as I am unsure of whether this will be a long term roleplay or not (hopefully it will be).
Where can I sign up?
Oh, you flatter me ;)
All jokes aside, this won't be a huge group roleplay with like 20 participants - I'd quite like 10 characters to be the absolute maximum, and I'm afraid i will be quite strict on that. You will not be accepted on a first-come first-serve basis; I value quality far more than speed. I'm working on a Character Sheet template now, and any help would be welcome!
It would also be great if someone would be willing to volunteer to take the role of Co-GM, to call me stupid when I'm wrong and do all the work for me when I'm away ^^ it won't be a huge task, but I'd like to be able to trust them with my life with a little bit of work to keep me right and the roleplay a happy fun place.
What is this system you speak of?
Mwahaha now for the fun part.
To spice things up a bit, each character will be randomly assigned a secret. Once your CS has been accepted, I will be sending you through PM a short paragraph describing this secret. It will be your responsibility to weave this secret into your character and their actions - and it will be your duty to try and ensure nobody finds out. After a while, I will send out another round of PM's giving each character a crisis in which they must play out. They won't be huge-ass scenarios where someone dies or whatever, but i think it'll be interesting to see how each character will play out their given circumstances.
This aspect of the roleplay is still pretty undeveloped, so critique is encouraged so that I can make it as suited as possible to everyone taking part.
And that's all I can really think of right now, people! This is a pretty basic Interest Check, but right now I'm just intrigued to see who will be interested in taking part (if anyone is lol). Any questions or 'sign me up!'s etc can be posted below or sent to me through PM's.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, as I said before it's still only the foundations of what I hope to be a great roleplay!
