Still working through ideas.

My current thought on the subject is: You have been told that this is a finishing school of sorts, shared by a handful of loosely allied kingdoms. It is held in a temple to a defunct god, in an ancient city that is widely credited as the "Birthplace of Royalty." You are tutored here by priestesses of aforementioned defunct god, but discipline and supervision are surprisingly lacking from them.

Students will quickly discover that escaping the school itself is relatively easy, but leaving the exotic(and rather quaint) city proves basically impossible. Nothing is compelling the students to attend to their lessons, and there has not been any mention of how long the curriculum will last.

In short, it seems you've just been sent here to get you out of the way.

Here's the thing, because my muse is fickle and I have another drastic about face in mind. I'm considering (almost) completely abandoning the structure of this, and instead running a game that focuses on a group of troublemaking royal siblings. I say almost completely, because it will still revolve around the royals receiving a new tutor that's there to try to get them back in line.

Alternatively, how do people feel about abandoning the sinister air(for the most part), and just doing a goofy RP about ill behaved fantasy royalty?

I like the tone of the original post, is that the sort of vibe you're sticking with? In terms of humour etc.? Potentially interested!

@Tlaloc

I definitely like a more lighthearted vibe, so you can expect that to stick around.

Regarding differences from the original:

I'm in pretty early planning stages, I also don't remember how much of the plot was common knowledge. So I might spoil some of the original idea on accident here, but I'm kind of gutting the plot(sorry @Maiden of Mist if you turn up to see this) to make it more my style.

A few changes I'm specifically considering:

Originally the students were going to arrive to discover that they are alone, cannot escape, and the school is much more sinister than expected. I don't think they will be completely alone in my version. There will be some kind of authority, but it might just be a handful of priestesses or something of the like. There probably won't be formal classes in the way you would expect from a typical academy roleplay, regardless.

I'm also toying with the idea of putting the academy in a more populated location, instead of in an inaccessible middle-of-nowhere. But I also have some #reasons why I might not, it depends on where I land on a few internal plot details.

If there is a town or whatever, your character would be forbidden from it and would have to sneak out, for which there may very well be consequences.

If you have preferences about setting, plot, or themes, or even suggestions, this is a good time to bring them up, when I haven't solidified anything yet.

By that same token, though: I'm not 100% in on this yet, I want to have my plot nice and straight in my mind and I just don't yet. Not trying to put a damper on things, I just don't want to get people excited just to disappoint them.

Justice League - The Unlimited Protocol

Just updating, I probably won't be joining this one after all, but if something comes to me I'll let you know.

@eemmtt@Searat@False Prophet@Maiden of Mist@PrinceAlexus@Lewascan2@LouLou

Bit of a mention blast here.

I'm considering running this one(I received permission from the GM way back in the day, as noted in an edit to the opening post).

It probably won't have the original intended plot as the original, and I would absolutely be looking for a dedicated co-GM to help hash out plots and keep things on track. I do want to keep the vibe pretty similar, though.

The people mentioned are not the only ones welcome to chime in if there's interest, I just wanted to let them know.

I'll make my own interest check if I decide I want to move forward.

Justice League - The Unlimited Protocol

I'm thinking about it, but I don't have a character in mind just yet.

Dreaming Together With You - A Fading Memory Experiment - On Hiatus

I've been away from the guild for a while, for which I'm sorry. It sounds like this isn't gonna keep going, but if it crops back up, I'll have my eyes on it.

Sanctuary Hills

No worries, Fading.

Sorry I've been so absent, I've been trying to help Novice get squared away, but in the end this roleplay just wasn't right for them, so they are no longer a part of it.

I'll try to get some stuff posted to move things along and add some more interest, but I'll probably wait for Fading.

~ Skate Camp ~

I plan on having a fictional celebrity that routinely shows up to garner up promotional support for the event and for the park itself to continue.

@Deja

Any chance this role is open to players? I have a character I've been trying to use for a while.

He's the front man for a successful pop-punk band. I think it could be fun(and also very anime, if we're looking for that vibe)if he came in initially as kind of a diva/asshole type, only here for the appearance fee. But he falls in love with the place, and sticks around.

What do you think?

Sanctuary Hills

You know what, this should be a PM.
