Every Tuesday and Saturday night from 8:30pm to 10:30pm CST, we will be holding Storyboard Meetings in #zurpg. During this time, we'll be primarily focusing on creating new NPCs and fleshing them out along with existing NPCs. We'll also be working on descriptions for various settings. Exactly what we work on each meeting will just depend on what people bring to the table. Anyone is welcome to join these meetings and bring ideas and input.
How this will work:Once we've got a good amount down for that character, we'll log it and then move on. Rinse and repeat the process, potentially alternate with settings.
A few rules:
If you can't join in or just have too many ideas, we have a Character Request Thread, so use that!
Meetings will be posted on the calendar, but in most cases, it'll be the same time as listed above every week. Here's to hoping we'll get some good progress from these Storyboarding meetings!
How this will work:
- Someone brings up an idea for a character.
- Everyone then chips in their ideas for that character. This can include stuff like physical description, personality, backstory, what the character does, his relations to others, quotes, etc.
- To clarify, we're not building full combat profiles; mainly roleplaying content.
A few rules:
- Sidechat should stay in the sidechat. If it's not relevant to the discussion, keep it in #zurpgchat.
- Once we're focused on one character, [u]don't just suddenly switch over to another character or go "oh hey guys, I got all these ideas too, here they are right this moment". We'll get to them; just be patient. Ideally, we want to do things on a one-at-a-time basis, or else it'll get unfocused and messy real fast.
- Keep in mind that every time we finish a character, we'd like to log it ASAP, so... kicks go to #zurpgchat.
- If you continue to be off-topic in the actual discussion, we'll enforce +m, meaning the channel is moderated and if you don't have a voice (+v), anything you say will be blocked. You can request to join back in by asking nicely in #zurpgchat. Hopefully we won't run into this issue.
