BRXVO "D" will bring another storm

Member Seen 1 yr ago

Haven't done anything like this in years so I may be a tad bit rusty; may or may not need assistance who knows but we will see. Hopefully, if I have the will and interest to do it ill be starting up an old concept on a One Piece RP I had any years ago. With the new developments in the ongoing series I see a lot of potential in being apart of or creating an RP based on in its genre. The world of One Piece is forever growing and I want to take advantage of such an in-depth series and with the cooperation of other RPers expand on the already expansive universe.

Within the hider/spoiler is the old OOC Post for "3D2Y" that I will be revamping and correcting over the next two weeks to establish a final product though I'm posting it here now to receive feedback. What do you as role-players want to see; not just in a OPRP but in a successful RP in general.

Might be better to focus on the Pirate group or Marine group instead of trying to have your cake and eat it too. Giant anime sandboxes always end up have a lack of focus which devalues the story the GM is trying to tell. Also gives you less work.

Agreed on the need to focus on 1 group, but if the GM feels like they can handle it then it might be possible for them to do both group.

I am more partial to the marines, but that is my preference.

That's where the Guided Part in the Guided Sandbox will be hashing down. I hate RP based on a single group because it gives little toe no room to flesh a character put individually; I hate when character progression is dependent on the group vs the efforts of individual players. Ill have some time to give it a better structured explanation today; probably.

But for now just think of THIS concept. There's about 5-6 different routes to the Grand Line; instead of exploring every island individually there'd be a choice between a choice between islands per arc where the role player groups will decide upon themselves where to take their story for that particular arc. This in my opinion gives the illusion of a sandbox (entirety of islands to explore and expand) but still be under control and managed (limit story based options)

Agreed on the need to focus on 1 group, but if the GM feels like they can handle it then it might be possible for them to do both group.

As you may already know of course; the group size and number will be determined on the amount of players. Though NPC creation will be allowed to an extent. Im willing to play damn near anything in this particular universe to be honest but id hate to be a Marine under Sakazuki right now 😂😂😂

True, but for me, I just find it interesting to RP as a marine under Sakazuki since well, a lot of the pirates really ain't exactly the Luffy-type but more of the traditional pirates of raid, pillage, plunder and pilfer. So controlling and arresting them is gonna be a really great conflict. (Also sets a somewhat rival/antagonist if other players play pirates.).

I'mfollowing this because I like One Piece, but I agree with @Viv regarding focusing on one group. I'd also have to see your finalized idea in the OOC before committing to anything, so for now I'm just keeping an eye on this thread.

Well, that just sounds strange to me. Have fun, I don't think our RP ideals are anywhere close to each other, so I'll pass.

The GM hasn't been online in a week, so who knows (although I can't speak for them). I may have an idea for a One Piece RP (with a more cohesive group dynamic), but I have another unrelated RP I want to run as well and I don't know if it's best to start two of them at the same time. I'm on vacation anyway, so if I did anything I'd only post an interest check right now.

@Zapdos

If you do decide to make an interest check, could you mention me in it?

@pkken okay, though it will most likely be a while before I make a thread so I apologize in advance if I forget. My specific One Piece RP is an interesting one, there are just things that would need to be in place for it to succeed, and I don't think they're there yet. I appreciate your interest though, it's a fun setting for sure and I'd like to write in it someday!
