A sideline
Posted: Jun 28, 2011, 5:43 AM
So I was talking to Parker the other night, when we hit upon a most intriguing idea — set up a sideline to the main RP where people can RP a bit more freely and do character development. Pretty much just get on IRC or some other chatroom at a set time every week or every other week, and set up something small with whoever shows up.
And as for setting, we were thinking something related to the current mission but always set during downtime. Not necessarily in continuity with the main timeline, just something for people to do for shits and giggles and to develop their characters a bit more -- and Parker also suggested that we could do small missions related to what's going on in the main timeline, such as doing raiding parties when we were back on Arcturia, standing watch on Whiskey Zero, shit like that. In my experience nothing large-scale works in real time RP, since you can't coordinate a lot of people -- here I'm thinking less than ten people, but it could still work out pretty well. I think it'd be fun, either way.
Thoughts?
