I've barely got any interest in whether or not a PW actually comes onto the guild, but there's a conversation I had with someone not too long ago about [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/184305-to-face-tomorrow-a-fantasy-rp-where-you-dont-know-the-other-characters/ooc]this[/url] RP idea from [@stone].

We both looked at it and came to the conclusion that, essentially, Stone is running with elements from a Persistent World and doing it on a smaller, more private scale. Each character is in the world and permanently a part of that world, and those characters [i]can[/i] interact with each-other, but the players just don't know it. It's just one layer removed from having multiple threads that people happen to stumble into each-other on. The key is that you need enough characters to make it work, that's to say, there's enough of a brute force method to bringing them together. More people = inherently more chance that two of them cross roads, but that being said, it's also a massive amount of work for one person to undertake. My friend was of the opinion you'd need upwards of 10-12 characters merely to fill out the world to be breathing enough, an opinion I didn't quite share in its entirety. I'd argue that's an impossible amount of work for one person and that you'd need to throw in a second co-GM, but at that point there's even more communication that needs to be done and less chance of it working out. But the argument you'd need to bring in a co-GM(or, for comparisons sake, a mod) to make it work kind of shows the miniature-PW nature of Stone's RP.

Honestly, I think experiments like Stone's are the closest you can get to a living, permanent world with an ever-changing cast of characters that aren't confined to a singular (main) storyline. 'cor there's still the question of whether or not it will [i]work out[/i] at all, but I'm not going to judge over that when I've not got a hand in it myself.

(also apologies to stone if I dragged them into a conversation they didn't want to be dragged into, I just think your RP is one of the more interesting ones to pop up in recent times and I really like the unique shit ;w;)
