User blog:1dra7/A Different kind of RP



I have in mind a different kind of RP, something much different than the normal Survivor RPs we do on here. With a little help from OHF, I've thought of a way we could do a long term(ish) game about American Horror Story.

That being said, you don't have to be an avid watcher of the series or really watch it at all. It's just a horror story that we all contribute to with our character ideas.

In the comments below you can come up with your own character ideas for the RP. The sign ups never officially close because AHS is always open to new characters and surprising plot twists.

The idea of the RP is to do scenes with characters at different times, likely with us doing one episode per week, give or take a few days. You as the players in the RP are basically in charge of how it is run as a whole. I as the host/spectator have no true dictation over how things go.

You will be able to come up with your own plot lines and scene ideas with other characters in the game, and you'll tell me what you want to do or when you want to do it so we can record it in the IRC. Eventually, once the episode is finished, a synopsis will be written somewhere that will detail the entire episode.

As always, if you have questions, you can ask me on chat.

The theme of the season would be "Urban Legends". OHF/I decided that it would be a good idea to do a season centered around urban legends because it is open to plenty of horror tropes and the like.

With that being said, there are, of course, limitations to being the villain/antagonist of the game. To avoid riggage claims and godplaying and all the other possible things that could be claimed, we need to work out character deaths appropriately.

I will be playing one or two characters of my own, but they're antagonists. In order for a character to die, there are just a few rules to follow that will be explained later once we're ready to begin.

For now, just sign up with actual human characters. You can suggest urban legends you would like to see make an appearance in the show if you would like, but when it comes time ot begin, we will deal with antagonists and villains appropriately.
