last time we tried, there wasn't enough interest to keep it going, but i'm thinking i'd allow canon characters this time, instead of making it AU/OC
the focus would be on exploring the setting, finding out the mysteries of fallen london and getting off your face on prisoner's honey and mushroom wine
i'd probably try and keep it very small
I'm always a slut for Fallen London I mean yeah, I'd be game
i remember when you pitched the game the last time and i'm definitely still interested!
dropping in here properly to say that I'm interested too!
goddamnit why are all these interesting games popping up at the same time.
(yes, i would be interested.)
i know a few people who are into fallen london type stuff so i may as well replurk this
fallen london is always a lovely idea ahhh
oooh i'm potentially interested
yeah that sounds like a really interesting setting (especially citing lovecraft+pratchett because that'd be fantastic)
I also very recently picked up Sunless Sea, so there is that too
absolutely!! i'm super-addicted to fallen london! supporting this plurk 100%.
give a yell when ya got it
I didn't even know it had been run before tbu
sounds interesting to me, especially with a smaller setting/population
what sort of AC are you thinking of having, if I may ask? c:
omg i was so super into fallen london when it came out
i keep meaning to pick up sunless sea as well, it looks really entertaining
oh man id be willing to give it a go i LOVE fallen london
...I have a muse that comes from this era. Count me in.
/always interested in anything with pratchett
Interested in barriers unless it gets too far
I'd like it if there could be a way around it?
if there were a way for the players to choose whether they wanted to play out the language barrier that would be ideal but i imagine it'd also be difficult to explain in-universe
mO.Om Is it alright if I stalk instead of join?
this looks really interesting! i can't wait for the tdm
I've played Fallen London off and on for some time, and I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft, so I'd be interested in stalking this at least, eventually signing up perhaps...
Hrrrrrrm? I love Sunless Sea intensely.
What if we like.... totally did want to AU a character into the setting?
I feel like I should go binge play some Sunless Sea to prepare for this.... but then no one would hear from me for like two weeks
i would definitely be into tagging the test drive once more info is up
YOU'RE AROUND TODAY. YOU WANT TO TAG SOME DUMB SLOW FALLEN LONDON SHIT?
oh god for some reason i went a second ago and there were no entries, oops.....dreamwidth is such an ass to me
gently... marks this for later....
ships lmao no i just put the FAQ up RIGHT NOW
mO_Om im so into this aaahhh
ohh man I may need to think about this
now I need to decide who to test drive... either abdul or togashi I think
one will be more aggressively not okay about this than the other
I need to learn more about Fallen London, but I get the feeling Cabal might be a good fit.
I need to learn a bit more lore first.
does "player-made AUs" cover genderswitching?
excellent, in that case I know exactly who I want to toss up
ahhhhh thank you! I was really nervous about putting her up but decided to take the plunge. I would love to have her interact with other Holmses
... man, and the character I was considering tossing up is somewhat based on Holmes....
i can't decide which muse would be best for the tdm... i'm tempted to throw in all of them
definitely interested, i'm already thinking of a couple characters i want to plop into the tdm.....
SORRY IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN ASKED BUT
bc i wanna play a nac mac feegle SOMEWHERE ahaha
i... think i'm gonna jump in on this tdm once i figure out a suitable character because i am also always a slut for fallen london
Torn between an OC... and Elizabeth from Young Sherlock Holmes...
considering fate!hans christian andersen...i dont know if ill app but no harm in TDMing
all rats bow to him......
he ain't scared of no cats
(i've got a guy who comes from 1800s japan and has an interest in folklore, so i'm trying to figure out if i should AU him into having connections with the Duchess or do completely OU :|a if anyone has ideas!)
There, finally threw mine in!
Learning more about lore made me see how Cabal could fit. MY KINGDOM FOR A HORST THO. /sobs quietly
Also, a question. How would various sorts of powers work in this setting?
Like... quasi-magical powers.
nods Mostly curious, I have interest either way.
If I'm actually doing a feegle I should probably ask more about their powers too, haha
what about angels, demons, fae, and creatures that would be considered supernatural?
wonderful
they wouldn't care terribly I think, BOOZE IS BOOZE
quick question: the premise makes it pretty clear that characters lose all items of value on entry - does this hold true for, say, a magical weapon that serves as a large part of a character's powers?
I figured it would but I thought I'd make sure
im very interested in this. Is it going to be an app place?
sorry if this has already been asked
i mean is it a lengthy application process (apologies i just woke up when i said the previous thing x3)
ehhh. maybe not then. Depending on the app length and required info depends on if I want to join. I'm really REALLY bad with apps :c
I'm still interested though. I'll keep an eye out when I knwo the length and requirements of it.
Question. If the locations are settings appropriate can various locations be stolen to add on with the jamjar setting? Because
Kaguko and I did a thing with Fallen Chireiden for awhile and it worked so well.
BloodCri i'm erring on the side of "no" for now
but neathy locations other than fallen london itself will be accessible ... some eventually
i don't want to dump a whole complex world on everyone at once
I understand that this game will be open to characters int he same manner that typical jamjars are, but what are we leaning towards when it comes to imports from other games
or Fallen London OCs, straight up?
that's a good question. would we be allowed to bring in even a sunless sea captain?
Fallen London/Sunless Sea seems pretty neato, I'd be game!
The character I'm considering would be a FL OC, but my preference would be to bring her as a CRAU.
I'll think about it some more. Thanks for answering my question
what about fandom AUs as FL OCs?
i actually do not! but i've been threading with them on dear player
The only thing i'm wondering is how to bring in non AU canons.
Oh, FL AUs are allowed? That gives me ideas for Cabal. Coming there of his own free will, mostly.
THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN THE SUN
where do I sign up, give me a pen
I know who I want to bring too (and might make an OC because oh god)
I love this and I love you
UNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHES
late to the party but i'm here for this
even if it's just to watch in the end if you guys fill up
it's been a while since i did anything dwrp but i'm here! yeehaw
elimyx there's no limit on the test drive!
I posted my top-level for Cabal.
sweet!
what would happen to a character that can travel between dimensions/universes/dreams and stuff?
are they locked into just the city or can they still travel between anything inside the city, eg mushroom wine hallucination dreams
a lot of things are in the air at this point-- no promises regarding anything, either
i'd be totally interested yes
honestly, i'm more sorry for him having to put up with tjeffs' nonsense
--also i'm gonna friend you so i'm not taking over this plurk with said nonsense
So here for this. (I have multiple Fallen London characters, and half of them are fandom expys anyway...)
I figure that if you're traveling in between weird places in the Neath, you'll probably attract Finger-kings and the gods of the Neath
and you don't want basically any of them paying attention to you (unless you don't like sanity)
that said, Parabola is a fantastic place to hang out with the cats of Fallen London and soak up some sun
weird I just commented here and it didn't work
oof. bumping this to remind people we're a thing.
Won't say I'd forgotten this one, but my mind was wrapped up in other things.
oops, we got some spammers.
I should get on my tags now that my paper is done.
Thinking about sending Wilbur Whateley, but still thinking on a few others...
although I think it might help if there was more information?
like about the setting and whatnot? And also things like whatever the AC is (unless I missed it somewhere), since I consider that when joining a game
Ah alrighty, good to know!
i'm still waiting to see how involved the apps are. thats basically gonna be the deciding factor for me
Mmm, same here: an app that's too involved (ie. writing out the history and the personality in separate sections, plus two writing samples gets a bit... tiring.).
if someone brings in their sunless sea captain are they allowed to roleplay out their non-main-character crew if they have like... an officer that talks to them as part of a post?
do officers and crew come with the character?
