This would be based loosely on the Micheal Crichton novel, Micro, wherein a corporation figured out a way to use concentrated tensor fields to shrink machines, and even people! Reduced to half an inch tall (give or take), they were sending research teams and "expeditions" into natural areas, referred to as "The Micro-World". The Micro-World is a pretty dangerous place, even for it's normal denizens, and they're adapted for life at that scale!

This rp wouldn't follow the story of the novel, instead the focus would be on different people. I also would do away with a ticking clock plot device called the "micro bends" (similar to the bends, a medical ailment one can develop from spending too much time in a pressurized environment such as the deep sea).

The premise of "Into The Micro-World" would, frankly, be equal parts "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids" and "Jurassic Park"; a mixed group of people, intended to only be in the micro-world for a short time, perhaps for professional reasons, instead end up lost and forced to try and survive long enough to be rescued, or otherwise find their way to a point where they can somehow try and contact the larger world for help.

If enough interest can be drummed up, I'll move this to Casual with a proper OOC page and character guidelines

Sweet! I hope we can get some more players, at least 2 or 3 more, but I'm also going to provide some npcs, and I'll let players have more than one character, for... Reasons... >:)

Risky idea, but I'm even toying with the idea of offering up a few plot ideas, and letting the players come to a consensus on what to do?

I am going to assume there is a central hub of sorts. Unless you thrust straight into the middle 0f it.

You mean like a base of operations, within the setting?

Yes exactly that. Unless we are thrust into the wilds and have to survive right off the bat!

I'll have something established for the setting, for sure.

This is a really cool idea, but besides dodging dino feet not to be squashed.
Wouldn't the insects be giants as well, like the size of a dog..that's interesting, not to mention all the killer plants that would try to devour you.
1 in a zillion chance of surviving ?
Just one more thing...
Where do I sign up?

Wow, I'm really pleased with the enthusiasm, here!

Either this evening or tomorrow I'll go ahead and work up a proper OOC, including some character guidelines.

Ugh, I'm sorry this is taking longer than anticipated; I'm settling into a new job, and it's sucking up a lot of my time and energy. I've got the next couple of days off, though, so progress shall be made

No worries, like I was telling another person in a RP, real life comes first. 👊
