Hello RPers, and welcome to this the first Micro RPG, a brand new idea brought to you by the collective efforts of myself and ChobiChibi, with special endorsement from our very own Crystal Tears!
Basically, what will happen is this:
- You think of a very small plot idea - we will be making a thread to keep in the Lounge that you can fill with plot ideas
- Once you've got your idea, think of a location - doesn't have to be complex, a simple 'Cinnabar Island' will do
- Think of yourself a character - the idea of these RPGs is not massive detail, but instead to get something snappy and fun, so we never expect sign-up forms unless you want to do one - if you do, you can store them in the Ideas and Plots thread mentioned above
- Right, you're about ready to go! Post your plot, setting and let the RPing begin! But now you need to decide on an estimated running time - as I said before, the idea is to be snappy and quick, so a week, two weeks is going to be an ideal amount. They can go longer, if everyone wants them to.
Confused? Check out the next bit, which is the actual plot of this Micro. I'll also give you a short example of how to post.
Plot: Pokemon have been going missing all over Cinnabar Island! There are so many 'Missing!' signs tacked up everywhere that they have begun to start blowing in the breeze on a windy day.
Estimated Running Time: 2 weeks
As you can see, there is no maximum amount of characters and no maximum amount of players. You can join in with as many characters as you like, and whichever characters you like - for example, I am going to be using my character from FF: Darkness Descends, Temzi. I'll link to his sign-up, so you can get an idea if you need to.
There's also no set plot, and as you can see, no set DM either. This gives the players the freedom to decide what they want to do, and the ability to just make things up as they go along, which is always fun. And the lack of signup forms for characters means that you can go about this without fear of playing someone's character wrong.
Okay, I think that's all the basic details. Here's my post - you don't have to wait for me to reply, you can make up the plot as you go along and post as many times as you like.
Temzi :: Dragoon of Justice
Temzi peered at the layers upon layers of 'missing' leaflets attached to the lantern-on-a-stick he found himself stood next to. He didn't know exactly what the creatures were on the leaflets, but they certainly seemed to be missed a lot, if this mess was anything to go by.
