I'd love to make a stat-based RP, with designated spell conditions and limitations, but once you start taking away RPer freedom, they do something ugly, they begin to do what i like to call 'squeezing' they attempt to 'squeeze' as much power as they can from the GM, sending them PMs asking if they can have an extra spell here or an extra transformation there, trying to make their character 'unique' [when really they just begin to delve into the cliche.]
Many RPers feel they have to be 'the best', like no one ever was. They read everyone else's powers then ensure that they have more powers and especially ones that could counter all the other powers. While i'm talking about Magic RPs, this is also true in other settings, there is always those few people who want an extra gun here or another cutlass there.
Really all you can do is wait for RPers to get to a mature stage where they understand that characters should be interesting, wait for them to understand that other people read their posts, not just themselves, and no one thinks exactly the same things are cool as themselves.
In any case, i am considering running a new RP similar to my 'new dawn' rp, but with stats and things though i will think it over for a while and i would need some people to show interest...
[This wouldn't affect my current RP, which would still run.]
I mean like, you set up a char with statistics and stuff, like hp, speed, Etc.. Etc... You find a guy doing something you do not want, you two decide to fight, you do the combat stuff, the gm decides outcomes, and you roleplay and fight and travel and all that stuff.
Wow... now that everyone has left, we're pretty much in a ghost town with the curious children getting crazy in the old buildings, and the few spirits who are still here watching their home devolve as they just occasionally glance at each other and shake their heads in grief and disappointment.
Yes, you most certainly get bonus points if you do it on a usually serious RP, i'll join an RP of your choosing if you pull that off without anyone else getting mad at you/being annoyed/leaving the RP.
I have a mission for you guys... *leans in low* In any RP you're a part of at your choosing, somehow make it work where you end up with at least 1 other player, steal a parade float with open holes for the riding part, and shoot soda/other beverage that fizzes into the roads/streets.
You know what's annoying? The fact that every presently popular RP is dull and unwanted for me.... So i'm just gonna check the threads and see if something neat has popped up.
Yeah.. But i do think it could be done well, heck, it could be like a hangout.. or it could be a more RPG-esque one thanks to "Stick of Truth", or an anime style thanks to "Fun with Weapons". Good lord, you could base a south park RP off of so many things!
