Hey all. So for my last Group RP project, I'm going to shoot for the moon and tackle something that's ruined the lives of many of GMs. Sword Art Online. However, I want to say this won't be a Sword-Art Online copy. This will be a Sword Art Online-like role-play. There will be a virtual reality element, but it won't be the same story/premise as in the fandom SAO. I don't want to make a clone of that  :smile5: . This RP would be more lighthearted and give focus to the MMO experience. More specifically: class builds, teamwork, and skills. That's what I want to capture with this. Other minor focuses would be items and PVP.


This RP is meant to be wacky and a little over-the-top, so I will be going for a silly and nonsense kind of vibe as well. Not to say it can't get serious --  just that it won't be purposefully edgy. It will have a dice system and that's what I need help on. I already have the outline of stats on what they do, but I want to condense everything. I don't want people having to figure out a ton of sh*t just to play. I want to streamline the dice and stats as MUCH as humanly possible. Streamlined, but intuitive, and exciting. That will be my goal for the dice system.


So yeah. Expect levels, experience points, and travelling. I will do my best to streamline those too. I want this to be fun, yet challenging, engaging and quick to get into. If anyone would like to help (seriously) me work on this, please let me know and I'll post what I have/am working on, via PM groupage. I'll mainly be directing things, but will be open to suggestions that fit with the RP. I would appreciate sounding boards that tell me what sucks and what doesn't.






Important Note:


We are NOT making 100 floors. Sorry. We will only be making 1 floor/area. If that 1st floor/area comes out well, then we can think about doing more. We are not making a full experience. So Guilds, server events, and all that other stuff will be left out. If the 1st floor/area comes out well and it's liked, then we can think about working on extra things.


Again. If anyone is interested in signing on, let me know!

Mmmmrrmrmrrmmmmm I feel like I bother you enough so I'm on the edge deciding whether I should offer my life services for you~
 
@IG42


Not a problem to wait for the finished thing. Hopefully you like it when it comes.


@LifeNovel


Lol. Up to you. Kirwinning has already been a huge help to the story, but the more the merrier if you have something to add.


@Bacon is fluffy


Lmao! It's a mouthful right?  :smile10: . I hope it haunts you in your dreams.
 
I would join that shit. Though only if we can be weebs and use only-anime faceclaims and have cheesy stories and stuff like that.


Though I would heavily argue for guilds, and I'll tell you why: It provides not just a plattform to bond over, but it also easily creates an underlining nemesis. "That darn guild always takes the #1 spot on the raids, ugh, I wanna beat them." "Those guys keep griefing!" etc. It's so easy to implement a few basic guilds and build around them. You could even let people create theirs, and work with the guild founders. It'd have an element of Co-GMing, without actually giving away any of the power.

:smile9:  It won't be straight up comedy but there will be plenty of room for it. So sure, we can weeb out and use anime face-claims, lol. I can already tell you my character's name will be "Edge La".


If you want to work on guilds, that'd be no problem. The only reason I don't want to include it is because I don't think I could give them justice in this 1st sketch. But if you can handle that, sure. Did you want to help out, or you'll just wait for the final RP?

I'll happily provide input and spitball and brainstorm with you, but I don't want to GM in any capacity. As for guilds, you could make  a single one run by NPCs for starters, just to create a framework and establish how guilds are run, then see how that goes? Another idea I have could be that previously to being stuck in the game (if that's what you're going for), a DLC could've come out that added guilds for special members. This would establish the guild as easy enemies in a pay2win fashion. So we basically grind to get the same priveliges. Could cause conflict and interesting clashes with the guild members?
 
Stalking people to other threads has never been so much fun =P


Uwah, depending on this could be a fantastic time to set up a easy going character that doesn't get into trouble. And stays that way.


Well, iffen you wouldn't mind me tagging along, and not messing up peoples titles or what cities they're in charge of this time, I would love to try to run a more easy going cha5racter this time around. Like, actually easy going, not horrible dead parents backstory XD
 
A chance to see GM White in action? Sign me up! I also liked Log Horizon, which also had some MMO elements. Not sure if this is going to be similar, but you've definitely peaked my interest.


I doubt I'd be much help in the development department, but I'd be willing to contribute. Also interested in gaining some insight into the RP creation process, so... add me?
 
If you've got room for one more, I'd be up for helping with development however I can (and playing, depending on how things go). If you still have some jobs open, I can fill whatever roles you'd like. I've got some samples of bits and pieces if you need to see some writing, as well.

Ahaha. I will do my best, while trying to keep it remotely serious. I'll be channeling a little bit of Jojo.


@Pequeno Burraidh


So you'll wait for finished project or help?


@BlueInPassing


Wow O.o  Nice to see you! Sure thing. Even if you want to watch, that'd be alright. I will do something really fast and send you an invite.


@Crazy Diamond


Sure, if you want to send me samples I don't mind. I will send you  an invite in a bit too.

Oh, come on, SAO's plot has at least something to offer. I mean, it may include a anti-social, god-like, Gary Stu shounen proantiagonist #123432432423, a lack of complete utter character development, more waifus than you can shake a stick at, waifus that have no agency or character at all, a giant Kirito Harem, tentacle rape scenes, rape scenes.......


Uh, yeah.....

Admittedly, if you look into it, SAO had a solid ground for a good show. The episodes that show them trying to settle into a standardised life whilst struggling with being separated from the world, and especially the Sleeping Knights saga, had very good dialogue and story telling, and ultimately the show, because of it's pandering and bad cliches, poorly exercised the fact that they spent a full year in that game, watching friends and loved ones die, not knowing if they were truly lost, either going mad and believing it all a lie, or struggling to cope with the fact that they had lost people. Knowing that with every floor their numbers dropped more and more as well.


No, there was definitely solid potential, but it was squandered on the exact issues you laid out.
