@Tywell Hey I appreciate the submission, but with this sheet in its current state I do not think I will accept it at this time. I can see the beginnings of an idea here, but there’s too many vague details that aren’t quite clear why they’re vague.

If you can tighten up the idea, flesh out a few extra details, explain why his identity needs to be/is concealed, elaborate a bit on the family business(es), what his formal role on this skeleton crew is, etc. that’d go a long way to getting this where it needs to be.

I can see the core idea; ‘Hardass uncle refuses to see his merits and demands he meet an unreachable standard, uses wealth and influence to force him into a ‘test’ on the moon’, and while I think that’s a workable core concept I think you meed to spend a little more time at the ironing board for this one.

Got most of this done. I'll try to keep it updated as we go along.

Howdy all. Just to give a bit of information and some approximate timelines, I'm feeling like a week or so for other interests and sheets to get submitted or updated is a good soft spot before I 'close' applications. In that time I'll fiddle with some notes and prep work, but the goal of all of this is low stress. To that end, the following ramble;

I know I have a tendency to be verbose. I know some of the people here have a tendency to be verbose. Large posts are good. So are short posts. Posts are good. Hitting submit, post, publish, send, confirm, etc. is good. I am stressing that doing anything at all is good, and if one person decides to do a longer post versus a shorter one that this is not the environment to shame or judge either side of that equation. I'm aiming for vibes here. So let's have good vibes.

Just because I might drop a bunch of lore/novel/words in an opening post or a particular storytell does not mean I expect that same level of word count or flavor in return. As long as we're all giving effort and having fun, that's all that I care for. If I am belaboring this, it is only because I am attempting be absolutely thorough in this explanation.

I am also trying to re-teach myself that sometimes all you gotta say is a few things and get that out to the player, because in past Guild efforts I have definitely gotten lost in trying to force 'productive' posts where I try to always keep things moving noticeably forward and those past roleplays have all paused or failed and I've been thinking about those a lot lately. The road for all of you is open, there aren't any rails, but there will definitely be obstacles.

There is literally 3 characters running individual illegal brewing operations lol


Yev is really just doing some home brewing, minor production, using fallen fruit deemed unsuitable for anything but animal feed. It's not like she has the facilities and contacts to supply the other domes.

Isaac Dispositions:

-Yevpraksiya Popova - Very Negative: Without being corpo aristocracy, Isaac led a very sheltered life that makes him unable to believe the dept of human misery some people suffer. In his mind, rough looking ruffian types are taken at face value and Popova must've done something to deserve her fate and all those terrible stories must be exaggerated or lies.


Rumors have probably brought up that she's a convicted domestic terrorist, so a little distance is expected. And it's hard to ignore the eye or arm so she may have said something curtly about the organ-jacking when asked. As far as the rest, that Lifetime movie was just a hijacking of "the hand that rocks the cradle".

As a heads up to folks, someone has communicated to me a family event that is taking up their time for this present point. As such, I have given them a vague and ambiguous ‘take more time then’ hallpass. So even if I get us started, if this particular person reaches out to me within a purely arbitrary period of time I will consider their application as well.

If anyone else also needs some kind of extension just hit me up and it can be discussed.

Alrighty, end of week update from me, the loser in charge of this nonsense.

I have some good progress made in an opening post and some personal notes, but I have been reminded of a grandparent's birthday this weekend and as such expect some delay in my initial vague 'perhaps this weekend' comments before. If there isn't an opening salvo launched by sunday evening, then there will be something midweek next week unless I die.

The whims of fate have guided me to aim for midweek as a launch of my opening post, 90% of which will be utterly irrelevant and purely because I was so happy to have all these awesome characters submitted that I caught the literary bug. For your reading pleasure the relevant part will be suitably noted as what is directly important to the current events of LD-10 when that post is live.

Alright I did the thing. I am taking some liberties with things from backstories or personalities and using it to flesh out things on Earth over the last three years. I will occasionally drip some more into the IC this way as we move forward. Let me know if I fudge something or step on toes in some way and I will correct or redact anything as needed.

I have provided some loose initial fodder things to concern yourselves with, but feel free to do whatever you want. I have no post length expectations or requirements. I wrote entirely too much, I know, but I liked what you all gave me. I'm having fun. I want you all to do so as well.

I will only situationally impose direct storytells on people in these initial stages of the roleplay. It is up to you all to describe or otherwise fill in the coloring book of Lunar Dome 10. I look forward to seeing what you all do.

@Fading Memory I love what you've done with Ozymandias. Very fitting for his ex-colleagues I think. I wonder what's in the vault... Weapons? Drugs? Gold? Advanced 3D printing equipment?

Absolutely fantastic first post!

I appreciate it. My goal was just to take the ideas you guys had and build on them in a way that didn’t step on any current day toes. Glad it seems to be approved of by most folks so far.

I don’t care, go for it. My only things are ‘if someone says they want to do something give them a chance’ and ‘if someone’s character is being kicked in the groin or otherwise pranked, shot at, murdered, or obliterated give them a chance to get a word in sideways’. So unless you were planning on trying to dunk Doctor Xi’s head in acid for example, post as much as you want.

Edit: as always situations may arise where I may request a particular order or what have you, but in general wheeeeee go for it.
