What do you think about crossover roleplays that include characters from different fandoms?
A fairly common example of such rp would be 'a tavern' or another meeting place where characters from different franchises can meet and interact with each other. Yeah, a pretty old concept that I barely see nowadays and this is also one of the reasons that made me curious. I don't see crossover roleplays very often.
Are they too hard to organize? Not as interesting to people?
What can be done for it to work well or do you think it never works?
Have you got any success (or disaster!) stories from crossover group or 1x1 roleplays or maybe even LARP?
Personally, I've seen it work well for a while in group roleplays but eventually those roleplays still derailed too much from the original idea and the players got confused and started leaving. But that's common for any type of roleplays so I don't think it's characteristic for specifically crossovers.
Also, I've seen a few LARP that were fun and had a logical conclusion, where characters from different fandoms met and interacted. But I assume it's a bit easier to manage players when you actually see them than in an online rp environment.
Never tried that as 1x1 though. I suppose the isekai roleplays could be marginally considered crossovers too because they have characters from different 'worlds' lol But as for fandom roleplays, I don't really have experience with merging fandoms.
