[quote=@vancexentan]I feel like you're banking too much on the thematical sense of the show[/quote] You cannot separate thematic significance of a setting and the basic mechanics of a setting without controversy. I would certainly not be interested in a RP that divorces itself too far from what I feel is the spirit of the concept. That’s all I’m saying here – I’m sure others agree that have not brought up a talking point. I just don’t think it is a good idea to disregard the themes from something just because you like one neat aspect of the mechanical foundation. You aren’t wrong that it is a challenging thing to find people, especially those who will not dip out, that fit such things. But there have been successful Naruto and Soul Eater RPs that try to adapt to this principle. Some compromises are not worth making. Broken Promise is correct that it would be wiser for you to make an original setting that is inspired by Franxx then it is taking a risk by divorcing the themes from the other elements of the series. The foundation you like does not exist in a vacuum and you are at too much of a risk of alienating yourself from many interested parties by breaking spirit. [quote=@vancexentan]What I believe the others said is true and that I may need a co-gm to direct combat for the overall sake of a better more enjoyable roleplay otherwise my own lack of creativity may hurt.[/quote] On the flipside, I’m not sure how you would go looking for a co-GM that is not only compatible with your style but is also interested in how you want to direct your RP. I’d like to offer some tangible ideas there, but this thread isn’t exactly busting at the seams with interest. Perhaps an interest check would serve well and then you could “vet” people from there for the position. IDK.
