will turn your insides into your outsides
SO, I've really been craving a Warhammer 40,000 group roleplay. And as I mentioned in another thread here, I've reached out to other places (including Discord groups) in search of somewhere that would support that kind of RP. I've even gone to other RP sites that are more focused on science fiction themes. But they are heavily geared for system RP, and I don't do systems.
I've just been met with a wall everywhere I go. Even if/when I get accepted into some of these places, I never actually get into any RPs. One reason is because people mostly do 1x1. The second reason (and I'm really not trying to sound full of myself) is that they don't really post in the style that I do. The responses they have with one another are like a paragraph... maybe two. But these are small paragraphs at best. And I feel like the multi-paragraph post style I have totally puts them off (But that's Discord for you). Anyhow, I digress...
I'm tentatively considering putting out some kind of advertisement here for a WH40K roleplay setting. However, I've been involved in WH40K group recruitments on RPN in the past. They NEVER get anywhere. I recall three specifically that either never started or started and immediately failed. I know the reasons why. Warhammer 40k is a vast universe. Tons of lore, with a very long timeline and lots and lots of factions with their own motivations. And pretty much the entire galaxy is at war. So, it's very difficult to actually get a group of people together who all want to be characters that can feasibly go off on a cooperative story together AND also caters to their character dynamic.
For those of you more familiar with the WH40K setting, I personally am not interested in Astartes or Guard, nor a Rogue Trader scenario. And the only Xenos group I'd even care to RP as would be Orks. For those of you who might have been in the failed startups on here with me, you'd know I'm more interested in an Iquisitorial/sororita narrative. Probably something with a retinue.
BUT, as I have said time and time again, I AM NOT going to GM a setting. I don't have the time or patience for it. I'd just be trying to get together some like-minded 40k enthusiast, and hope we could work out a setting I'd be willing to participate in. But in the same way that I'm looking for my niche interests, so do I expect everyone else to be looking for theirs. I've seen it not work on here already (multiple times), and there are familiar members that tend to pop up for it every time. So I know we are hopeful, but our interests simply do not align. And in other sites or Discord groups... it's actually LESS enthusiasm that I find for what I'm looking for because the meta is Imperium by Astartes or Guard. There is a little bit of deviation from that, but I've yet to encounter it in the way I'd want to participate.
So like.... should I bother? Is this just one of those cravings I'm never gonna get fulfilled?
(And before it gets suggested, let me say again that I do not like 1x1 RP)
