I was talking with some of my faction mates yesterday as to where we want to go while most of the serious pvpers now left Consequence. RP was obviously a much favorized option, especially events that would be open to the whole community. I proposed a little idea at the end, and I wonder if the community would like to give it a try : improv nights.

Take 2 teams of around 4 players each night, pitch in some themes and a time limit, and have spectators vote on their favorite execution. This might not be the best place for roleplayers wanting to evolve their character or the storyline, but might be a good way to see roleplayers of all kinds in action.

As you can see, there's really nothing prepared yet, there are many details that are still unclear. I'm just interrested in seeing if this is something that players would like participating in, or assisting to.

So,  you are seeing this as a series of sort of mini drama's that you develop and put on for an audience so people get an idea of your role play style?

Improvisation is a fundamental skill in roleplay. It mixes character
building, story writing, listening and repartee. It's about bringing life to a new
world with very little preparation. It can be humorous or dramatic, but
the goal is the same : showing that you're able to switch what you are
at will.

Hmm... well... presuming this is something like the "Drinker Tooth" RP we pulled with Con (amongst others) way back when Harp, sounds good to me.

Let me know when you got a few ideas, and i'll see if I can brainstorm a lil' in the meantimes, too.

We'll be holding a little meeting to discuss about this project Sunday 25 june at 4 PM EST, in club Avalon. Like the event itself, it will be only OOC. The goal will be to present my views on the project, brainstorm with the people so we can agree on a format that will be interresting, and if needed, I could do a little demo on how this will work.

See you there!

As planned, the discussion meeting will be in 30 minutes. If you got

spectator, feel free to join us.

I'll be doing a full recap soon, to give the description on how the
things will work. People there really liked the plan, so it's quite
promising!
