So to summarize, we've got the following elements covered:
Fire: 2
Air/Wind: 1
Ice: 1
Lightning: 1
Earth: 1
Gravity: 1
Darkness: 1
Light: 1
Aether: 1

While the following elements have yet to find a champion:
Water, Wood, Metal(?)

And I thought Valentia was more in Poland or Russia. Eh, I guess the map isn't exact, and doesn't have to be; as long as the Sanctum Cities are mostly defined, the setting's fine.

Hey! I'm interested in joining but I'm not sure which element I feel like choosing yet — is it fine to choose one that other characters already have or do you have a preference for the leftover elements to be used?

Considering there's not exactly a "first come first served" status and we're just making characters, I'd say no preference, you're fine. Of course, bear in mind we're probably a handful of students in a massive academy with applicants from all over the world, there's bound to be several students with the same element(s).

Sure, you can have the same element as another character. Shouldn't be a problem. Just remember the deadline is Wednesday!

Character stuff:

YOUSEEBIGGIRL


She large. No problems here!

@Inedible Here is my submission to the competition, hope you like her!

I'm going to walk back my earlier statement and close a bit earlier than planned. All submissions will be due by Wednesday the 14th. I'll pick 4-5 from that group.


that being said, while I made the "Are you a betting man" joke earlier, there's tough competition in here and idk if my character does enough to stand out. Good luck to everyone regardless, tho.

Personally, I hope nobody's left out, this seems like a very interesting premise, but I understand that not all games and not all GMs can handle this many people.

10-11 people is a ridiculous number unless you have a team of like 3 to manage everyone. I personally don't really blame Inedible. I once GM'd an RP with a ridiculous amount of characters and after a while I struggled with coming up with stuff for all of them to do.

Hell, I know of a few people who've been in massive conglomerates and more often than not it feels like a couple of players just get ignored in favor of a more rapid few.

I'll be honest, I totally missed the Small Group tag when I was drawing up Selma's sheet.

Yep, choices will be finalized tomorrow.

I wish I could take everyone, but having to keep track of 12 or so characters is, as noted, a nightmarish prospect. Especially if the plot is going to move forward at anything resembling an acceptable pace. And as this is intended to be a primarily GM-led experience rather than a bunch of people doing their own thing, I think a small group is the best way to go.

I'm giving some thought to running two versions of the game for two separate groups, but I won't make any promises.

Wouldn't recommend it for the sake of your sanity. GMing even one group is kind of a pain, and keeping track of two at once means your workload is also doubled. It's not just keeping track of everyone, but also double the amount of writing you need to do, and that adds up quickly.

I mean personally, I’m not sure if it would be awful to start with 12 or so characters, if nothing else because RPs on guild typically don’t have the best retention rates. I struggle to think of many games that don’t drop like half their players in the first few weeks. Ultimately though it’s your decision, just figured I’d give my thoughts.

You're still dealing with 12 players at the start though. It's a mess on the players' front, too, because who do you interact with? The first few pages are going to be bloated with all these disparate character interactions and somebody might not even show up on a page if they're a bit unlucky.

Personal experience has left me as not much of a fan, but it's Inedible's choice in the end. I can see my position is in the minority anyway, as from what I can tell, everyone here is assumed or hoped everyone got in.

I mean having played a lot of large games, with significantly more than 12 characters, I’ve never really found any of this to be a problem, typically I’ve found players are pretty good at finding opportunities to interact and move at a decent pace. But yeah it’s Inedible’s choice.
