Vampires, and lykens its time to play! (Open Rp) guide

Yeah me too!

 

You got it

 

I am at work so what I am going to do is have y'all roll at the tavern read back on the rp page and catch up when I go on break I will check back in.

 

Ok on break

 

Salem and lizardlicks you are both in I have started you off now it is up to you to get to the rest of the group. Run, fly, hover, or how ever you travel you are in.

 

Wait, first The Mistress doesn't know who's coming to the party/quest/thing and now there's a Mysterious Voice calling random people to the castle for her?

 

She still does not know who all else is coming and it was a voice calling not I did not say it was her voice trust me give me time to get everyone there. There are such things as ghostly beings in this game. All in good time my friend.

 

Dude you can't be all "all in good time" in the planning session. We need to know what is going on so that we can actually play, not trail along in the wake of whatever story you're writing for yourself.

If you have a script or plan you need to tell us so we can use it. If you don't want us to improvise and do our own thing then let us know.

"You are compelled to do this epic quest and you will do it," is not exactly an Open RP

 

I totally respect the desire for a little mystery, but giving us NO information at all about where you're going with this is not the best way to get us to play along. Plus, interrupting my first chance at meeting another character with an inexplicable Call is kinda stunting. We'll get to the quest, but let natural dialogue and introductions happen first. I'm here to meet all these other characters and do fun stuff with them in a way that feels natural for my character. Give us a little structure and let us explore! We like your world and we wanna play in it!

 

Hey, Victoria, you misrepresented what kind of RP this was. If you planned on running a dungeon crawl, this isn't how you go about recruiting. Everyone thought that you were just opening up a setting for us to be dorks in, because that's what this looked like.

If you wanted to run an RP with a plot. Then first you need to spell out the specifics of what's going on, what the tone is, and what our characters are doing. And you definitely don't start until you are sure you have enough people to run a proper game. You can't just turn an open rp into a plot one out of nowhere.

 

LOL @Salem Moth keeps calling Barnaby kid when I'm pretty sure Moth is younger. Also not sure how "scruffy" got interpreted as "clean shaven".

 

@Lizardlicks oh Moth is 100% younger but he's also a condescending little tyke. Also I missed the scruffy memo. Whoops!

 

Haha I figured as much. Also it doesn't help that Barnaby is 100% wide-eyed innocent puppy.

 

Who's a good booooy~

 

He is perfect and adorable and I love him.

 

HE IS A GOOD BOY! GOOD WOOF, BEST FRIEND!

 

Give me a moment to take care of something.

 

Real life.

 

@Victoria Rose, it seems to me that it will be difficult for you to run a dungeon crawl where you're the authority commanding everyone to go along with your plots, when we don't know what your plots are, and communication is so far very unclear, and also we don't have any set schedule for an organized game. if you have work and life responsibilities that keep the game from progressing on any other schedule but your own, that's also something the other players should know.

as for myself, i'm much more familiar with open online RPs, which are very chaotic and communal, and plots are worked out by mutual agreement ahead of time, and no one person gets to tell anyone else what to do. so when you assume that characters are going along with what you say, it makes me think you're just being impolite. is this supposed to be a game where you're 'in charge' of everyone and the plot?
