Taijitu World Building > Planning Room

Idea: Micro-RPs?

(1/3) > >>

Been thinking a lot about our RP section.

One thing that I notice is hard for me is the speed - or non-speed.  Not necessarily just because it's slow, but mainly because I have to go back and read the four or five posts that were previously made because I forget by the time it is my turn to write again.   :-\

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in something I guess I'd call "Micro-RP" of "Conference Call" or lack of a better word.

The premise would be this - basically a conference call between nations - this would go nicely with a Taijitu UN thing we were talking about - where someone calls a meeting with a short "problem statement," then everyone chimes in with small bits, like a few sentences to ask a question or scream at everyone or whatever.  Short, easy posts, that are actual conversations.

I love the long narratives we do, and by no means would this be a replacement, but I am thinking a few micro-RPs might really help develop our nation's personalities and have some fun, easy to get into RPs that wouldn't be as daunting as our normal stuff.

Let me know what you guys think.  If there's interest, I'd be glad to kick the first one off.  :)

Sounds cool; let's try it out.  :)

This is (part of) exactly what our RP community needs. If it's to attract more people it needs to be easy to get into. Not everyone who writes is capable or willing to pen pages upon pages of narrative to get to the next storybeat. I would definitely support something more simple and fast-paced.

I agree and would say the other side of the coin would be slow paced casual story arcs. Some ideas for this sort of thing off the top of my head: a university thread about some international school with teachers and students from prospective nations, crime stories, corporate "conference calls", "UN" councils on various subjects, etc.

Good grief, it is way more difficult than I thought to keep these posts short!!   :wine:

Probably a good exercise for writers like me that tend to raaaaamble, tho!  ;D
