Damnation | A Wild West Fantasy Adventure! (A Wild Arms-inspired RP)
→
11 yrs ago
Forum: Advanced Interest Checks
OOC
Welcome to Damnation - Lost Souls of the Frontier, a wild west fantasy romp that I feel and hope will be a fun expedition for all who are interested. Inspired by the works of Akifumi Kaneko & Takashi Fukushima, John Ford, Sergio Corbucci, Sergio Leone, Shane Lacy Hensley, and many others. What Damnation is at its core a fantastical gothic western setting where adventure and desperation are the destination. As you have read above, I have listed ten archetypes you may build a character around and these characters can be anything you imagine them to be (within the realms of reason and cooperativity) - this is not a “one gun show” and it will be blatant that teamwork will be needed to overcome certain odds. I will be looking for a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 players before I get started so that gives us plenty of time to get started.
Expectations and Rules are pretty basic. We will abide by site rules and we will do our best to remember we are all adults with schedules so we cannot expect consistent posting if something comes up. A bare minimum of one post a week should be a good idea and if inactivity becomes an issue it is the GM’s responsibility to contact you. Assuming your character needs to be interacted with for progress, if you are unable a GM will find a way to do so for the good of the plot. If you leave the RP the same thing occurs.
I'm looking for a group of high casual/advanced writers who can play off one another in a cooperative and friendly capacity. Currently we only have a small group of folks interested, but I thought I'd give a call out for those who might've missed it.

Actually, they're not impossible to find. I found a few that I've joined, and I'm running one as well. Unfortunately, it's full. Otherwise I would've invited you to join. But have no fear, I have plans to revive the very high school roleplay that I was talking about earlier in this thread. The standard is going to be high casual/advanced, and I have plans for twists and turns so it won't be a plain boring roleplay as many people think high school roleplays are, apparently. Once it's created, I could let you know if you'd like :)
It's not often you find a simple high school RP that's not supernatural but also not bland. But I promise you they're out there. Plenty of casual to advanced writers have a keen interest in them--I'm sure more will be arriving to the interest checks.
The fact that is has been on my mind for a year or two might make it clear that you should invite me; even if I suddenly don't have time I'd like to at least read it and such.
@Jbcool - He likes Star Wars, the Wild West, and is a stellar writer as well as GM. I would love to interact more with them.
I’ll be using the rest of thanksgiving week to catch up on IC posts I’ve missed in Aftermath, make sure my Fantasy Western is ready to go, and basically do guild stuff. I apologize for the last two months of bullshit and complacency.

Collaborations have their time and place; “machine gun posting” have their time and place. It’s up to the RPer to decide what is appropriate for the situation.. That said I do prefer the latter or the former as I’ve seen more RPs stagger due to lack of consistent activity in a collab (which can make solo posts impossible in some cases) than seeing them fail due to the alternative.
Information, Navigation, Fluidity, and Effort are the four keys to a quality OOC.
You need to have the information available for character creation, but it needs to look well-enough where it doesn’t hurt to read and is easy to navigate. Good fluidity can help navigation and using sections are really beneficial in my experience.

You know what grinds my gears? Classist generalizations that condescend and belittle. There are two completely asinine things said like fact in this thread:
1 - High School Role-plays take no talent or skill, nor do they have depth.
2 - Only youths and young adults do these role-plays.
It’s such arrogant crap that it makes me furious. Slice-of-Life no matter if it’s realistic or fantastical is a popular genre of all ages. I won’t deny that many of these RPs are not my cup of tea (or to my preferred quality level) but to assume and come off like you are better is really deplorable. Plenty of dramatic cinema, television, and literature are what we call slice-of-life stuff and that doesn’t detract from their quality when they are good. The biggest legitimate complaint I can see is the subjective feeling of boredom and I get that but it is the GM (and the players) responsibility to entertain themselves and keep interest flowing. I’ve seen RPs on the guild with several flavorings added to the typical school life scenario and not just fantasy but psychological horror and mystery; these RPs get swept under the rug for your run of the mill standard yeah, but is it right to call it all generic trash with no talent and only made by youths? Is that where we are?
Also, I give props for those who run casual and advanced level games within the genre. We need more of you, keep it up.
That's the kind of slice of life/school life RP I've always wanted on guild but I gave up when they were impossible to find. I'd kill for something like that.

Heck, even writing out a normal day is difficult because it can be so repetitive. It takes a lot of brain work to come up with a post that isn't completely bland and boring. Especially my roleplay, because it didn't have any sort of supernatural powers or magic.
