24h into the interest check!

Heya guys! Admin Excel here. I've been closely watching every single interest check response what came in the past day and I wanted to thank you all for providing us with such valuable information! I decided to make this little post as a quick overview of that we learned from you so far.

If you haven't filled in the interest check, feel free to do so now! It'll help us tremendously with the creation of this project!

In the past 24h or so, we've received almost 60 responses from all of you - which is honestly a number far beyond our expectations for such a fresh project. Here are some things we've learned to far:

Almost 70% of the interested people have a prior TTRPG experience. This shouldn't be surprising, in all honesty - fans of such a roleplay heavy series will of course enjoy some roleplaying themselves.

Well over 90% of the interested people actually want to contribute to the project, or at least is thinking about it.

There is about an equal number of people who want to contribute to the project as artists and as writers. There is a slightly bigger number of potential artists than writers, but that was expected.

Among people who wanna join as artist, character artist is clearly the most popular role.

Among people who want to join as writers, the most want to be character writers. An even larger group wants to be lore writers, but that group will most likely not be a separate group - more so an add-on to other roles (we will expand on that in the future).

Half of the interested people want to serve as beta players for the game! The beta players will most likely have a separate application process, outside of the contributor one - and later down the manual's creation process. You will be able to be both a contributor and a beta player, but you can also be a beta player without being a contributor - all you'll have to do is organize a session within a given time limit and later fill out a feedback form.

Most people will be able to start working on the project from March! Depending on the mods' schedules, that means the contributor applications will most likely open as scheduled, mid-late February - with the actual work starting early-mid March.

A vast majority of you is interested in seeing lore elements in the story! I think this point also needs a clarification - the included lore will not be based purely on Martyn's Eyes and Ears AU, nor any specific existing interpretation. It will most likely include bits of popular headcanons and AUs, together with any ideas that out lore writers come up with. It will also most likely be inobtrusive, to the point where the campaign will not have to focus on them too heavily.

Almost 75% of the interested people actually see themselves playing this campaign with their friends or family! It's great to see we'll have a target audience and this project will not be created just for the sake of creation.

We will focus on open ended questions in future posts, where we answer some questions, suggestions and doubts. All I'm gonna say is that after looking though the favorite alliance question... You guys really like Dogwarts xd

And that's it for now! Follow this page for future updates and dm us if you have any questions about the project!

3rd Life TTRPG project Interest check!

Heya folks!

Admin Excel here to announce the official opening of Life series TTRPG project's Tumblr page! This will be your place to get all the updates regarding applications, timeline of the project, as well as ask any questions you may have regarding the project.

Today I also opened the interest check, so if you could take a while to fill it out, that's be wonderful!

Some more information that you might be interested in:

The project will most likely focus on reinterpreting 3rd Life as a TTRPG. If it goes well, I have plans for turning next seasons into their own manuals - however I think it's best if we take it one season at a time, to not overwhelm ourselves.

There is no solid date for anything just yet. I'm a college student and my schedule is pretty tight lately. The only thing I can say for sure is that if everything goes well, contributor applications will most likely open mid-late February. If you follow this page, this will be the first place where you'll get all the updates!

Until then, the interest check will be open so that you can submit your ideas. You can also drop them in the question box here and I'll try to answer as many of them as I can! There will also be a post in the future where I'll answer some of the suggestions/ideas/question that were submitted via the interest check.

So far, the project is in a brainstorming phase. I have quite a few ideas for characters, scenarios, mechanic and the overall shape of the manual - but this is why I'm turning this into a collaborative project, so that more people can show off their amazing writing and/or drawing skills and contribute. The more the merrier!

That's it for now! I'll probably make a pinned post about any important information as soon as they come up! Don't hesitate to ask any questions about the project!
