    Reusing RP Ideas

    I was thinking of using a full-featured RP as a place to store RPs mostly generated by the author of said RP. Each place in the game world could be a different story with a different person(s) that is private so that none else see and it remains a surprise for others, if they ever decide to RP the plot created by the author. Characters could be made into really explicit profiles or just grouped under as "Characters of (insertnamehere)", so that new characters or characters hidden from the owner of the RP can be a surprise too. I was wondering if anyone has done this yet.
    "Ew. Did you check to see what date this raw milk expires?"
    "Yeah, what happened?"
    "I found a curd."
    "Did you shake it?"
    "No."
    "It's the cream. The fat floats to the top."
    "Oh, I just thought it was Bridgid's backwash the first couple of times."
    "Wait, why didn't you say 'ew' when you thought that?"

    And to what end or purpose does this "massive grouping of concepts" serve, that placing the games into thread does not?
    Sorry, Strude, I'm guessing at what you mean. If by overview, you mean description. I am working on that right now. I'll post a link once done; I just didn't want to break any rules on WTFRPG and thought to ask before making it.
    I'm working on the organization right now and the setup would be pretty simple, almost like a forum, except not. It's a bit hard to explain without showing, but I'll try to make it clear with the example.
    I wasn't sure if threads could be blocked from other players, which is something I wanted again for the surprise factor. Plus, if we redo an RP, it doesn't crowd up the forum. I've done and I've seen others redo the same RP five times or more. I just thought it would be simplified and have some of the nice features of a full-featured RP.

    Eh, well, I guess then not necessarily an RP for RPs started by someone then. Although, I like multiple storylines and situations placed in the same world setting, even if they have nothing to do with other characters whatsoever. Plus, I love how game places can be locked. I guess that's how I should go about it. Thanks for for the talk.

    One more question. The marks on a thread like the stars, green checks, paper clips and so on, is there a place on here describing their meanings?
