The Great Troper Change Fest! (Interest Check)

I like JustaUsername's idea.

I'm going to wait for a general agreement...

How about a ghost town?

I vote against the spaceship, simply because we've already got that. I agree with a setting that's in flux, and preferably not an "empty" one like the Arena, there should be PvE possible, with another player playing the "environment" challenges of course...

TL;DR I like JAU's idea.

I think I'm going to do this.

Also, I agree with Jau.

Hopping on the bandwagon.

-Ignore me, Jau edited since I agreed. I still agree, though.-

If we're hoping on my idea, it's probably best if every character comes from the same City of Adventure.

And yeah, I wasn't expecting a setting that things keep changing but there's no reason something that has changed could be changed into something else, chaos is chaos!

The characters are us, all magically warped to the setting and transformed up.

And yeah, the bandwagon definitely seems to be swinging towards JAU's idea, so...

We should actually vote on whether everyone comes to the same City of Adventure or if people are from different locations but dragged into a location of chaos.

If we do the latter idea, the Player Characters should only be a fraction of the amount of people brought there and changed. More interesting if we see a lot of changed NPCs.

Changed NPC's would be chaotic, since someone would have to make them all up, and then there would be a lot that would become relevant to keep track of, but I wouldn't be against NPCs in general.

As for the former idea, there will be no vote. The point of the thread is that the PC's are us, as we would be tomorrow, only changed - and we have to deal with it.

Which means that we need to prepare for the early stage and figure out the tricky things later.

Well, I doubt most of the NPCs would be relevant, I was thinking of something like Sword Art Online or Log Horizon, where there's a countless number of people but most are regulated to the background.

We should probably choose a place where we show up, though, even if we don't establish the wider world at first.

I just was like "squeeeeeeeeee!" because I saw Log Horizon mentioned.

Ah, yeah, fair enough, that works... still, I'd be worried about making everybody there changed, since it'd take away from the PC's uniqueness, make them just faces in the crowd whose only claim to fame is that the story happens to focus on them...

I'd like a story/roleplay about extraordinary people doing extraordinary things (at least, by the standards of the setting), or at least, ordinary people having extraordinary things happen to them that make them extraordinary (at least, in the setting) and hopefully learning to do extraordinary things...

I'd like a setting where it's kinda like a modern day city as far as technology level.

And Iunno, I think it would be cool if other people were changed or got powers too.

I'm personally of the opinion that tech should be near-modern, just for the sake of simplicity.

And for those who don't know this by now, this is 4maskwolf's RP account, and likely the account I will be using for this game.

I was thinking that the NPCs would be played by the players who created them (seeing that I most likely won't be able to play the NPCs because I already GM a separate thread, and I'm busy with work sometimes). Also, maybe they shouldn't be changed.

And, again, I am going to wait until there is a general agreement about a setting (preferably, it has a map).

Anyway, my main thought is that it'll involve just the Player Characters (AKA us) first, and then others will be able to add NPCs as time goes on.

As for the changing environment, well... I dunno. Maybe the change can be applied by all players when they want, but they should post the change in header format, and say it in the Discussion page.

What about TC_Hydro?

I'm just fine with everyone living in the same City of Adventure honestly, with people staying where they are but the Player Characters changing along with areas of the city.

Preferably, I'd like the city that's around metropolis size.

edited 3rd Oct '15 10:39:07 PM by JustaUsername

Well, I'm alright with that.

But what metropolis-sized city should the setting be?

We could just steal a real map and make modifications, like use New York or Los Angeles.

Or maybe we can just steal a real map and everything goes down from there because I'm too lazy to edit it myself (like the changing environment and such).

So... When do we start?

...Hmm... I wonder if the reason why spaceships are popular is because they can go wherever the fuck they want?
