I've been thinking lately that Kaerwyn's RP seems to be getting a little stagnant and people are afraid to suggest storyline and such because they might not work well with Kaerwyn's setting. Well, naturally I'd want to remedy this, as I myself am having a diffcult time coming up with interesting and fun storylines for you guys to participate in.

Well, now I'm considering letting characters go offworld temporarly for your own storylines and campaigns. Naturally, there will be rules and strict guidelines for this. Rules would include things like approval of storylines, approval of abilities or items that come back with characters, no character goes alone, muns must be approved by ops before they can go on the campaign, etc. This is just the same old same old, you ask us, we approve, you go off and do it on your own.

I'm thinking one of two 'setting elements' to explain this as far as Kaerwyn's consistancy goes. I'm thinking either an ancient device (like the StarGate) is found that allows characters to come and go assuming "fate" allows it. The other idea is that a dragon starts a "vacation" travel agent kinda business in town and opens rifts to and from other worlds for characters.

Either way, certain rules would have to be upheld, for example, 'vacations' off kaerwyn could only last for a certain amount of time. If the character doesn't come back to the exact spot and time of the rift event, then they will get left behind, and that's permanent (Good way to get rid of a character). I also worry about muns who will want to have a character go off world and return with a shitload of powerful weapons, items, or abilities.

Please tell me what you guys think of this idea. If enough people are interested, I will discuss the situation with the ops so we can make fair rules that protect the integrity of the RP and the setting.

This is intriguing as hell. It will allow us to get away from the "We're out of plots, throw up a transformation plot" rut we seem to be stuck in.

I have an idea for a story, actually, that I'd like to run by you the next time I see you, Jakk. It'd be a good way to test the concept out.

I'm for it, though the poll doesn't seem to let me at it, or I just don't know where to go to submit my vote.

One question, though, Would only the characters that went off to lala land be able to come back?

Whoops, I had this forum set in "Admin" mode which means Admins could only start posts (Good), Start polls (good) and vote for polls (Wtf). So it's fixed now, yall can vote.

There is no Synonym for yes that can possibly convey the yes'ness of my answer.

I'm up for it all the way. Sounds like a great idea.

Sounds like a nifty idea really. It for one really opens the possibilities. For one more NPC's can be figured into a storyline and enviroment without outright disrupting the main enviroment of Kaerwyn. The time limit in turn sounds reasonable as it's reminded that this is the place they are anchored to after all.

My two cents is no items would be allowed to travell from the outer realms ^.^ The campaign idea is for story ideas and adventures, not simply creating items.

Well I also would like this to happen. I've had a great time imanaging that my char finds a Stargate on Kaerwyn and shows Lore, Tess and Issac his world and to meet his superiors. I also thought going to Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy would be a sweet deal. (Imagines Issac being drained by the Wraith suppling an infinate supply of food for them and the Wraith forget about Earth and atlantis.)

You won't run into Lore, Isaac, and Tess. This isn't the comic, it's the RP... such is clearly stated in the rules.

This wouldn't actually BE a stargate either, that was just an example. Lorelei, Tessemer, Xanthir, Tamanegi and Issac aren't RPed here.
