Ok...well I know we have some roleplayers on here, that are more interested in character development, internal RPing, storylines and various other elements that are prevalent in an RP like this.

What I would like to do is run an RP that focuses on a TV Station(s) or Movie Studio(s). If there were multiple studios each studiohead would have the responsibility of scheduling in shows, cancelling others, running made-for-tv movies, showing other movies, etc etc. Scriptwriters and the like will be responsible for writing up shows and going to the studioheads to make their pitch to see if their shows make it. They have to hire actors etc etc

I think the idea is great, novel and unique, however the execution leaves me questioning its long term viability. How would you respond to concerns that it will be to complicated to administer and roleplay?

I watched them strap him into the seat and shut the door. He might of looked a bit nervous about it but that was about all. I really believe that he knew he was going to be in hell in fifteen minutes. I believe that. And I've thought about that a lot. He was not hard to talk to. Called me Sheriff. But I didn't know what to say to him. What do you say to a man that by his own admission he has no soul? Why would you say anything? I've thought about it a good deal.

And when the scripterwriters tv show is given the green light by a studio head, what happens next?

Does the scriptwriter write out episodes? So basically it will be a text based tv show?

Correct.


There will be a system to rate these shows as well. TO decide their ratings and their worth. A show could always be turned down by a Studio as well. Screenwriter's can write as many shows as they can handle and as they get approved.

Sounds like a good, fun idea. But I think what will ultimately kill it will be that it seems to be very time consuming, and I doubt many people have the necessary spare time.

It doesn't have to be that time consuming. You could be a studio head, your TV Show will most likely be a weekly event, and thus we can work in that way. It will run in real time. We'll Fast Forward between Winter and Fall seasons. I'm sure you can get maybe a few people to write for a show if you need so that way the show can stay consistent.

Stories themselves don't have to be exceptionally long. Just long enough to convey a point and a decent plotline. Maybe you have a 30 minute show, then it should take ya 1 hour to write it. If that show is on once a week. You have 1 hour a week. That's just an example of course
