The Next Big Thing, Mk II
Feb. 6th, 2004 01:03 pmThe general consensus amongst those who answered my poll about RP would be about like this:
1) Setting was the most popular determinant of whether or not someone was interested in playing, much more so than making up their own character, which surprised me
2) Even more surprising, the "mystery meat" setting was reasonably popular. I guess people are willing to take their chances if no one knows the theme, but don't want to be roped into a setting that sounds unappealing from the start.
3) No one has strong objections to not knowing who the other players in the campaign are, and most respondents had a moderate preference for anonymity, and extending it to all particpants except the head GM
4) Most people want to be able to talk about the game OOCly (which struck me as odd in contrast with the response on #3).
5) Reaction to the idea of PC vs PC conflict was mixed, but the general sense was that it could be workable if handled correctly.
I'm thinking of doing for my next campaign is something entirely PC-driven. Here's how it would work:
( And you want to know, right? )
