HOW'S THE GAME?

[paradisamods]

It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as

HOW'S THE GAME?

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at valawie (Valerie), fan of todd (TF), or never die ftw (Ashley).

Anonymous will be left off for this round. Sock journals are allowed, but you will have to request comm access to post with them.

Here are the sections that we've come up with. Add your own, and we'll edit it into the list. :)

➜ HOW'S THE STAFF
➜ RETURNING CHARACTERS
➜ THE CITY AND WORLDBUILDING
➜ ORIGINAL CHARACTERS
➜ PLOTTING 101
➜ APPLICATION SAMPLES

There have been some really fun introspective plots, like the headspace and the dream plots. I would really love to see more of those but yeah... No big ideas come to mind at the moment.

Those tend to be my favorite. I learn about canons I don't know about, so they're very fun to stalk. And playing a character who shares nothing and asks nobody to share things with him, it's really a major way I get around that!

I don't have any ideas right now, but it's worth brainstorming.

I like the idea of having the characters walk through other people's dreams. It can be an opt-in with those affected suddenly struck with some kind of sleeping disease? But then they're actually 'awake' in this dreamspace and can interact with the others who are also asleep, and maybe the castle's presence is stronger when they sleep and they... hear things. Then the people outside can save them while asleep? IDK BUT I LOVE THIS IDEA

[gottaknockhard]

Something like that can be really cool. I know there have been similar dream-ish plots in the past, but they can always be tweaked in a new way or have a twist thrown in. And I really love the idea of the castle's presence being stronger when they're asleep too!

(I'm probably being redundant here, but I want to strongly encourage this. Those types of plots never get old for me.) :)
