Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

Anyways, while I try to stave off my innate desire to play videogames to get this big gay love pile going, I think we need to decide on a name for the Roleplay!

So far I have...

Cartoon Network Fusion.

Cartoon Network Universe.

and

Cartoon Network Defenders.

@Raddum the image you picked for her sucks ass

just like you

she's accepted.

---

I'm on the road until Tuesday. Is the image required or is a narrative detail of appearance sufficient?

@Bounce

I'd like a bit of both. An image, and a short description.

---

@DepressedSoviet Accepted.

Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

I just want to be sure before I start on the character. Is it alright that I play as Steven and the Crystal Gems (Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl)? Or is that too many characters?

@The Spectre

The limit is one character per show, and as much I want to say yes, someone else might want to play the gems.

But, I'll cut you a deal, if no one else shows interest in those characters by the OOC then you can do it.

The image should be enough, but give me a basic rundown of your character. For images, you're free to use whatever. Anime, images from source material, or art.

Gonna whip together an OOC in a second.

Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

Could I reserve BMO from Adventure Time?

@Hylozoist

Sure.

^{Sorry, my tiny little brain can't come up with a response to your post.}

I'll be getting the character sheet up when I make an appropriate one.

Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

That said, I think we all agree on multiverse, no sandbox (instead an avengers style group), and no OCs. Since I assume most of the people will know of their characters, there isn't a need to write mountains upon mountains of lore. What I have decided is that we'll skip the whole "worlds collide" introduction, and everyone will know of the Multiverse, and have clashed.

Now, I should probably make an character sheet for everyone to dilly dally with, but I want to know which characters you're planning on writing. Only main character I plan on reserving is Dexter (who will be the Iron Man of this RP, and general leader dude). I might play a villain like, eh, maybe a B-villain from like Generator Rex, or Powerpuff Girls.

Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

@Holy Soldier Very good, I enjoyed reading your input, and I'll be responding to what stands out to me.

You have several characters who are going to come from various backgrounds. While crossovers do happen in Cartoon Network, they’re still dimensional crossovers. What I did in my crossover game is I made a single universe to act as a hub where other universes intersect. That universe is the primary universe and the only time we venture into other universes is on missions.

Holy Soldier

Hmmmm... the hub universe is a good idea since it'll be a good middleground for the part of me that (stubbornly) wants to go single universe. Especially if we want to be all Kingdom Hearts-y.

[quote-Holy Soldier]Let me begin by saying the advice I am offering you is based on my experience being the GM of a crossover game that’s large and still running actively. This is not a bragging rights thing. I am really sharing with you the pros and cons I’ve run into, and also telling you things that have worked and didn’t work throughout my time being on this site 90% as a GM and 10% as a player.[/quote]

I understand your intentions fully. I am experienced with a certain genre of roleplaying, and I worked out the pros and cons well.

10% of the people on this site can actually write without the GM holding their hand. 90% cannot. 90% of the people on this site need guidance in order to function. You have role players and then you have writers. Writers can carryon without guidance. Role players need a GM/DM because they can’t really go forward on their own.

Holy Soldier

This is blunt, but true. I have learned the hard way that "do whatever" Roleplays never go as idealized.

In my crossover game, we’re currently finishing up a mission in another universe, but when we return to the main universe, there will be a period of sandbox. This period of sandbox allows those writers who can interact with others and carryon their stories do so. For those role players who cannot do this, I will be making GM events that they can participate in for XP, prize items, etc. It keeps the game active and moving and not stalled. Once those events are done, we’re welcoming in the new recruits/players and going on another mission.

You do not want sandbox to stagnate. You also do not want to leave people hanging. I’ve done that before where I was like, “Sandbox mode go!” The game died because people didn’t do shit even when they were free to do so.

Holy Soldier

Buuuuuuuut, this sounds like a good idea. A blend of plot, and some side arcs as a "breather" (since Roleplays with nonstop action r dum).

Are you allowing Adult Swim shows? Because then we have Venture Bros, Robot Chicken, etc.

Holy Soldier

I have thought about Adult Swim shows. The only problem is that their tone clashes a bit with the more kiddie shows, and I'm not one hundred percent on it. So far, I'm on maybe.

You should make your life easier by not dictating how people should be playing their characters, and instead, allow those players wanting to play that character re-imagine him or her how they want. So a comedic character may or may not be comedic. It will depend on how the player makes him or her.

Holy Soldier

Eh, that's fair.

Sorry if my responses are short and sweet, that's just the way I respond at times.

Cartoon Network Roleplay: Concept Thread & Planning

Perhaps?

There's a fair amount of crossovers and references between a lot of these shows that could provide existing relationships in one way or another by default. (KND and Grim Adventures being one of the older ones I can think of; Specifically the one where Grim loses his powers and Numbuh 3 takes his job for a 1 month trial period.)

This list Coverssome of the Cartoon Network crossover episodes over the years. Could be a good place to start.

@Raddum

Cartoon Network Invaded, I totally forgot about that. Though, I question the validity of some of those entries.

But, yeah, this is mostly helpful.
