A new forum RP development thread?, Interested in those who are interested. Options

[Darkblade]

Wondering how many of us are interested in setting up a new RP for the forum.
What kind of RP would you all be interested in taking part in?

A little while back there were two being set up.
One based on a couple of guilds set in a city
And another was a plot set in World of Alsta
Way before that there was one based on a natural disaster set in a small town, it got
started but never took off.

Cant even go back and look for the threads since the forum changes.

Anyway, who is interested in building a new RP.

Questions for brain storming
What kind of theme? (Sci-Fi, fantasy, realism)
What kind of world scale? (Huge developed world or set in a little town)
What kind of plot? (Simple kill bad guy or something more elaborate)

I don't know too much about past RPs on this site, though from what I have read, a problem is a lack of members, not ideas. Honestly I've seen this before. It's not something that those involved can fix, more like you need to bare with it and hope that more people come on-board. I've been on sites where that's worked, and suddenly they've received an influx of members due to the illusion of activity, and I've been on ones that have just plain died.

The way these sites often create this aforementioned illusion is by focusing on RPs that require very few people. These RPs tend to be rather short, so they're sure to have an actual conclusion, and none of the members involved have much to complain about. So smaller, focused RPs seem to be a better path to take, instead of grand risks. Making, say, a Skyrim RP where players are free to go where they like when they like is all well and good. But it's a large undertaking. Making a sci-fi project that revolves around a small crew's misadventures upon a ship, occasionally stopping on stations and planets in order to progress the story? That's more manageable, and if every scene within the RP contributes to the overall storyline, then it's more likely to reach its end scene and have a satisfying conclusion.

Just my thoughts, from past experiences. And naturally, that sci-fi thing was just an example of something I was previously involved in, though it was Hella fun. Unfortunately, I was also involved in the Skyrim RP. Messy messy messy.
