We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

3. Having looked at the previous thread, I'd also take a step back and figure out who your intended audience is. Based upon the mechanics you described you seem to be intending a larger freeform sandbox make your own fun deal. Based upon the mechanics you alluded to there, it seems like you're looking for a niche audience that's very well versed in White Wolf lore.

Like how faithful are you going to make this to White Wolf lore? Am I going to need to know the in universe history of LA if I want to app in one of Marvel's Runaways? Is whatever happened in London important if I'm throwing in a Sherlock?

The more you need to know ahead of time to play in this game, the smaller the playerbase is going to be, and what works for 80 people probably won't work as well for 15. So figure out what you're looking for in terms of players and then figure out how to get everyone to interact with each other.
