I need clear instructions how to find right people for a specific RPG concept, played online. As of now I can think of two requirements:>must be into the setting or have experience with RPGs>must be in similar timezonePlease write down algorithm for it, including choosing a system.
You just have to play with people and whittle them down. I've played with people who I thought would be a good pick until they got to the table.
>>96442596>played onlineYou already fucked up. Shut'er down.
The most important thing is to filter out morons who aren't here to play the game, but to shitpost, direction-brian, and ragebait. You know exactly who I mean. These people will destroy a table before it starts.Example in this very thread: >>96442901
>>96442596Assuming this is a real request for advice, you already aren't being nearly stringent enough. And also, there's no "algorithm" for this. You have to use your brain.If you want to figure out what kind of game system you should play, you need to explain the concept and what you do or don't want to include, to help narrow it down.If you want to really pick out the right players, you have to get very specific when advertising your game. If the players do not buy into the concept, then do not pick them to communicate with to set up the game. If they do not show interest when discussing it with you, and you MUST discuss it with them to communicate your expectations and help settle and compromise things, then filter them out.
>>96442787this, and don't get discouraged that you need play like 5-6 one-shots to find 3 good players

>>96443227I made a thread about finding system, see >>96418965
>>96442596Good games happen when people who like playing them with each other sit down to do so.There is no litmus test. Meet folks online until you've got a group who want to play together. You're fucking cosmo-quiz is 13 year-old girls asking who they're going to marry at a slumber party. It's nonsense and it won't ever help you, in any way.
>>96442596It would help if you tell prospective players how you intend to run the campaign.If you're aiming for a noble, heroic fantasy: tell the players that before you start, so they don't show up with immoral characters.If you're aiming for a politically-inspired game: tell your players that before you start, so they don't show up with murderhobos.If you're playing a wargame with heavy character death and little roleplaying: tell the players that before you start, so they don't put fifty hours into their character's backstory, only to die in the first combat.
>>96446728>show up withI hate whenever this became normal. Since when do people show up to a game with characters? I am so glad that I missed that memo.
>>96446763That depends more on the GM than the players, I think.Some GMs will walk players through the character creation process and communicate with them to make a fitting character from the player's inpirations, vetoing some ideas and engaging with others.Other GMs will say "level 3 point buy, game's on Saturday afternoon" and leave characters to the players' discretion.The former is for heavy roleplayers and people who know what they're doing (minority). The latter is for more casual players who might not even realize the former is an option (majority).Again, communication is key here, if the players and GM want to be on the same page.
>>96442596Real players refuse to play online
>>96448164>He shitposts
>>96448180He's kind of right though. Online is for people who can't play irl, and there's almost never a good reason for that.
>>96448274>very specialized concept>combo of all-female team + language that has grammatical gender
>>96443300In a row? I'm old and feeble.
>>96449132>very specialized conceptNot a good reason.>combo of all-female team + language that has grammatical genderTroons, got it.
>>96449146>troonsNah, Blue Archive.It's better to roleplay over internet. Or talk ic in English and ooc in our native.
>>96448274Bro has never lived in a country town. My man I would rather die than share a wall with someone I don't know, but I still want to game.
>>96442596>make friends with people you like>ask them if they want to learn how to play RPGs>have fun with your friends.
>>96456443>make friends with people I like>tell them to get into Blue Archive and hope they want to actually get into it>tell them what an RPG is and hope that they want to play and have time to do so>get stuck on choosing a system
>>96442596ez>Hey guys I'm looking for experienced players, who'd like to play and know setting X, specifically people from timezone Y.
>>96442596Step 1: Go to a place or places where people like Blue Archive. The more people you can reach, the betterStep 2: Ask if any of them are interested in roleplaying together, using "X" RPG systemStep 3: Determine the time zones and availability of those who responded positively in Step 2Step 4: Use WhenIsGood.net or some other method to see when schedules line upStep 5: Prioritize players who seem most experienced, eager, or willing to be team players. De-prioritize players that seem flaky or disruptiveAlso, I don't know anything about Blue Archive besides the "UOHhh!" memes. I expect that may have some effects on your game.
>>96459599Blue Archive is about based anime girls with guns. PCs are intended to be said girls. Age: high school, height: varies from loli to 180cm (tallest canon character).
