Hi TX,
There's been a discussion that has popped up on the admin/mod board of Topaz lately about the Caldera/Kirant TRPG. In short, zeroality feels that we have the resources necessary to build our own text RPG and run it from our forums. That doesn't mean we're ditching OI! Here's a few details about it:
- Caldera/Kirant on OI will be a full go, you can still host it, if you want.
- You and your staff would have near complete control over how OI's version works. I will just be laying down the bare bones, as well as ideas I have but everything I do can be vetoed or added to by any of your staff. This includes any needed Pokemon changes (you may do them without my interference, though I'd still like to know), any storyline changes, and basically anything you like.
So, some proposed ideas:
- I feel that shadow_rukario would be the best person to administer Caldera/Kirant on OI, if needed. I haven't spoken to him but this is a feeling I have. Ragingprimeape would be responsible for the TRPG over here, but he would still assume his full duties on OI as a regular RPG Mod. In the Caldera/Kirant section he'd hold an advisory role similar to mine, but only advisory: if there's a vote to replace Malduval with Emblare or something similar, the majority on OI wins. (In other capacities he'd contribute just as much as your other RPG Mods)
- My work on OI will thus be pretty short, so I'll try to finish it as soon as possible. The storyline I will keep as open-ended as possible, something I believe your staff wanted. We're aiming to keep the TRPG on Topaz and on OI different so that there would be a reason to play either or both, that way we don't really compete and that way OI gets something unique.
Once again, thanks so much for hosting Caldera/Kirant on your site! I'd really like to hear your thoughts, if you feel this is the best course of action and whatnot.
