PROMPT A Quick 'n' Dirty Statplay

Discussion in 'Roleplaying Discussion' started by Eebit, Nov 14, 2014.

  1. ((pulling this discussion out of the IRC))

    I had the thought a little earlier about some sort of a quick 'one-shot' kind of statplay - one that doesn't require a whole lot of preamble, just profile assembly and jumping in.

    My (very) general thoughts were that I would assign a quick period of time - say, two or some such arbitrary number hours - within which the players would construct their profiles. At the end of that, we would begin the roleplay and get going. That way there would be less focus on making the 'perfect' frontloaded level one profile, and more on organic development throughout the roleplay.

    From there, we would start the RP, in which players would be given something like 12 hours to post, to force people to just get on with development, and placing less focus on MUH LITERACY and pre-development. If you don't post (in battle) within the time limit, you would simply be skipped. And if I were to GM it, and nobody posted in a round, I would still keep going :x

    Quick musings I have had while in class. Let me know if you would be interested in this sort of thing.

    There be the ellipses of interest
     
  3. It'd certainly take less time than a normal SP, and it might even finish. yes pls.
     
  4. I am in a different time-zone than some of you so time constraints are awkward but yeah sure why not-
