Subtle Shift In Emphasis

Zmerr said Let's both brainstorm a little. I'll try to come up with something.

I'll spend some time thinking about it too! Expect a list of ridiculous, awe-inspiring, dread-inducing names in the next few days.

Sounds like a good idea. I like that one. *thumbs up*

Then we need to, I think, settle on tw- wait, no, three things!
1) What would Kalas's Norn care about to get involved in?
2) What would the Krewe be called?
3) How much of Hoelbrak should be left by the time we're finished?

Zmerr said I think we'll all need to collaborate on a start for the story.

We've potentially got, what, three Asura and a Norn? We could start as some Krewe or other, showing up in Hoelbrak, researching / experimenting on / meddling with something of interest to Kalas's Norn character.

Hello! A bit of a bump, a note to say that I'm still interested in trying to make this happen, and a question - is there anything I can do to help to get this started?

Added you both on Skype, I think, otherwise I've been sending requests to random strangers who conveniently use your avatars. I'll try and leave Skype on for the most part, although obviously our different time zones might mean I'll need to catch up on what's been said when I wake up in the morning!

Kalas said can't you still guest over to a NA server though?

I don't think I can, nope. You can guest to other servers in your region, but the gulf that is the Atlantic shall forever keep us separate.

Kalas said What server are you guys on btw? I'm on Sanctum of Rall.

Sadly, I'm in the EU, so I won't get to join in with the crazy levelling-up scheme! Dang.

Kalas said We could potentially do something regarding the Human/Charr conflict. i.e. Racial emissaries or representatives of each of the three main organisations; The Vigil, The Durmand Priory & The Order of Whispers.

There's a lot of stuff to choose from. Considering that Zmerr quite reasonably asked about the idea of a co-GM earlier on in the thread, it could be nice for each player to share some of the burden of GMing and run a little thing for each of the other players, especially if our characters are representatives from the Vigil / Priory / Order, or racial representatives. With Kalas's encyclopaedic knowledge of all things Tengu, Kalas runs an episode where the other characters are sent off to do something with them. I'd love to run a little something or other about Skritt. I'm not sure what kind of crazy, evil schemes Zmerr has planned, but I'm looking forward to seeing them unfold.

So, taking it turns, we get to share the burden of GMing a little, we'd build up our own little lore version of the world based on the shenanigans we get up to, and it'd feel like our characters have got some accomplishments under their respective belts before taking on the Big Bad Dragon-y Things. It's just a suggestion, of course, but I think it might be a nice way to get things moving!

Sounds like a fair proposal. I agree that we'd need time to get to know each others' characters. I will leave a post open for the dragon though. I sense that this will be a good RP.

And I'll get working on an idea for a character, although it's closer to "narrow down what I want to play" - my head is buzzing with ideas at the moment, especially thinking about playing out ideas that don't translate well into the game because of, well, it being a computer game.

Zmerr said If we end up doing the dragon thing, it would be awesome if someone played the dragon too.

Personally, I'd prefer to start with something a little more low-key to begin with, and then move on to fighting something dragon-shaped and mean. Plus, it'd give us time to figure out how everything will work, what our characters are like and possibly recruit somebody to play a big, mean dragon. Surely there'll be no shortage of people who'd want to play a dragon, crushing the hopes and dreams of player characters underfoot like so many broken twigs!

Ahh don't sweat it, I'm gonna be playing a Norn. :D

The day is saved! My back-up plan was to quietly ask about Quaggans, so you playing a Norn is almost certainly for the best.
