i'm game, though i've never done anything like this before
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
Alternately, we could try to run it on dw with accompanying plurks
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
at the moment this is mostly just trying to see who would be up for it
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
and also maybe what times would work for people
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
since it would help to AT LEAST have larger/main events focused around everyone being around for a couple of hours every other week or so

o7 that's fine, most of us got ours out of the way in earlier plurks xD
236 bees
SO MANY OF THESE ARE ACTUALLY REALY GOOD INTERESTING CHARACTERS
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
So CORE IDEA is this: Participants would 'roll' a character based on something generated by ye flawless generator up above
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
(it wouldn't have to be the first thing you rolled up, but a screenshot or copy/paste of the character profile/template would be required)
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
And we'd try to meet to text-based table-top it out, using (tentatively) Discord, Plurk, and Roll20 as the primary ways to set this up
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
"Meeting" once every one/two weeks at a time that works best for everyone for at least an hour, ideally closer to 2-3
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
to try and explore and develop the characters rolled, as well as toss in some basic encounters/goals/(side)quests a-la more traditional tabletop setting
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
I was once in a sorta-text/tabletop hybrid run by Snowstorms once, who is amazing.
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
wherein die rolls affected how many words you had to type your ic response
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
which is a mechanism i am considering
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
I still want to keep in basic core stats and a LITTLE more true-style tabletop action
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
just to help those who have never done stuff before, and because it can be fun to have things up to chance, so
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
I'll be working out possible ways for that to work, if people are interested and willing to commit
๐•Š๐•–๐•’ ๐”พ๐•™๐•–๐•ฃ๐•œ๐•š๐•Ÿ
I'd also be down to organizing an overarching plot, if people want a more focused and less quasi-open world experience
