Hi.
I don't know if any of you remember my Container 37 RP...
http://community.lionhead.com/forums/thread/2928488.aspx
But it kind of...died. I think it really had some potential, and I'd really like to see if anybody would like to bring it back, but finish it.
But I would like to change some things if we did it again. First of all, it's way too confusing to have the 3 different sides (survivors, mutants, and Containment Delta) like the first thread. To avoid this problem the second time around, All players would be in Containment Delta, and a chain-of-command would be established between players and such.
But what about the story? Last time, I sort of had an idea of how it was going to end, but never really saw an opportunity to get any of my plot developments into the way. So what have I thought of to correct THIS problem?
Chapters.
Basically we would not just play the RP in just one thread, but in a few threads, or chapters with a set of objectives, so that the players arn't just running "blindly into the light". For instance something like:
Chapter 1: "Insert Cool Name Here"
Objectives for Chapter 1: Describe characters, breach Area 73, ect.
That way, the players would be more goal (and hopefully more story) oriented. That doesn't however mean that players can't deviate or change the plot a bit as we go, but a predestined set of objectives would probobly either help, or ensure that the thread doesn't die of being too random.
So what do you think? Anybody want to do "Container 37" again? Hopefully I'd get new AND old players. If I get some positive responses, i'll make a Chapter 1 OOC thread, where we can discuss characters and plot details, before we actually play in Chapter 1.
Please, PLEASE, leave comments.
