Some of my fondest memories of KP are from the Character Party RP. (If you’re newer and don’t know what that is, I will link it below.) It had a good run, but eventually, it fizzled out and died. There have been numerous attempts to recreate it or something similar, but all have had the same result: a quick fizzling out and death.
But I believe I have the solution: dictatorship.
The Character Party RP was unique in that it had something of a plotline and a grand, adventurous scope. The biggest problem was that we had little plan of where we were going, and things got boring.
But what if some person plotted out a basic storyline ahead of time and guided the plot to keep things from becoming stale?
If enough people are interested, this is what I want to try. Essentially, I would take some time to plan out a world, characters, and plot ahead of time. Then we’d throw in our characters and begin the story. Ideally, the pre-planned nature of the story would not inhibit your freedom to control your characters, but would prevent us from getting hopelessly lost.
As a disclaimer, I can’t promise this would be successful. However, I think it has a high chance of working. And if it did, we could do more RPs like it, where other people could take a turn planning the story. And we could usher in a new era of prosperity!

So, anyone in? I’d say we probably need at least four people (including me) to start. (And if it is successful and fun, more people might join.)
Let me see, I’m just going to tag the people I know are active RPers right now. Also @highscribeofaetherium
@rae @whalekeeper @loopylin @raxforge @theducktator @the_lost-journal @koshkaIf you know of some else who might be interested, go ahead and tag them.
As promised, I’ll post the link to Character Party below. Note that Character Party started out as a normal RP, but later took a sharp turn and changed into a crazy adventure RP. I’ll link to around the point that that happens.

📚 Appreciator of BooksHECK YEAH!!! I have really wanted to play dnd but I don’t have any friends *sad music*… that play dnd enough. So this is the next best thing!
I have charrie who is a spin-off from another book, but I think he would be great for this.

#AnduthForever (Lord Willing)On second thought, I’m not going to scroll through all the pages on my phone. Just try page…200? 150? Anywhere in the middle should be a good part. The adventure section started around the time I joined, so look for me if you want an exact start.

📚 Appreciator of BooksI also want to do this. Although, I don’t know which character I’m going to put in yet.

Hmmm…
*Looks thoughtful*
The Character Castle also had a plot, at least in the beginning. It was very loose, but there was an established villain, and each character had a general Something to Achieve. For instance, my charies had a personal vendetta against the castle lord, Godly-fantasy’s character’s were being stalked by her anti-hero, and Elishavet’s were literally spying on the lord, who happened to be her arch-villain. The whole thing worked as a general plot somehow, that felt more like a joint serial story than the RPs I’ve been in since.
Anyway, there’s my two cents. I’ll probably disappear into the shadows now.

Fork the GorkGreat! That’s fine. It will probably be at least a week before we would start, so you have plenty of time!

📚 Appreciator of BooksSo this thing is going to on the character party topic? I think it could be good idea to do it here instead.

Thanks for making me feel old.

Fork the GorkI was planning on doing it here or making a new topic. The CP link is just for anyone who wants to see what it was like, since that’s where the idea comes from.

(which it was, true enough)your feeling old doesn’t really help matters.XD

@raxforge @kefa @the_lost-journal @theducktatorFor all the new ppl looking into Character Party, you should find the part where the castle was burning down, the queen was almost killed, the villains were running rampant, the charries were squabbling and Prince Fennin was trying to hold everything together…cuz I think that was our most chaotic masterpiece. Or you could try and find the entire Zahlin vs. Nahim clash arc between Highscribe and I. That one was epic! I’ll see if I can’t get page numbers later today.
To think my mistake snowballed into something so wonderful and chaotic!
Also, sorry if I’m bothering you.
