Scion- Have Gms had success on RPOL with first visiations?
In reply to Knight_Vassal (msg # 4):
I've played before, just not in PBP format. It as a FTF game and the first four-hour session covered everyone's RP'd visitation and action needed to meet-up with the others.
Here, all the visitations can happen at once in their own threads... just post often and try to keep them short... then bring them into the main thread at a predetermined location (a ghost-town, a gas-station in the middle of nowhere, a Mall parking lot on a day it's closed, etc.), at mostly the same time... Those with a longer visitation (or slower post rates) arrive later than the others...
A trick to get them to meet-up is give each scion a location and part of a letter that can only be read when all (or most of [with gaps]) the pieces are brought together... and maybe make the first few outings a treasure-hunt for some of each scion's birth-rights... using torn-up/sectioned, written/word maps they have to trade to complete (Guides can help if none of the maps can be completed, and extra (copy) pieces of the maps can be found with each of the birth-rights to fill in the remaining gaps)... no one can find another's birth-right, or their own, with just the pieces they start with... all the while, they are being harassed by minor titan-spawn... I know, it's cheesy, but it helps build the scions into a team...
