I know these types of RPs aren't usually the type you'd ask feedback for, but I did put a lot of effort into this one. I've been wanting to introduce this group for a while, so when Pryde's handler brought wanting characters for New Blood Wrestling, it gave me even more reason to make this side storyline a reality! Let me know how I did, and what I could've done better. Thanks in advanced! NBW - Introducing: The Walker Family |

1) I was immediately delighted by the playfulness of having L take over the job of narrating for what was more or less a character study of an amusingly dysfunctional family. I think I remember telling you some time ago that having an active narrator (especially one that is tangibly in the events) opens some doors for fun mechanics, and this was definitely what I was talking about. One thing I would have suggested - not that there was anything wrong with how you do it - is that I would have played with L's perspective and really shown the difference between how Vincent sees things and how she does, but that would have really been it for that idea.
2) I found the family very fun, I like how they are played off of their pic-bases. Its the kind of fun you can have with side characters like that and having play out similarly like that is kind of a nice short hand for people to get into the characters when you are doing something like an EU RP, which usually aren't that long and are often done for leisure and CD sake.
3) I was deeply impressed with the work you put into it. Being that most of my focus goes into competitive RPs which largely leave me unmotivated to do EU stuff, it was interesting that you really managed to put that kind of effort in, though when you have a plan (like you did), I think that makes it a lot easier to get that stuff down in a way that you can be happy with it without draining yourself too much.
4) I think for an EU RP, it was solid stuff, an interesting look into a group of characters with their own particular dynamic that also builds the universe and puts some added motivations and momentum behind certain characters and storylines.
If I had any negativity, I've never been a big fan of pictures in RPs, but in this case, being EU and being the introduction into some more NPC-ish characters, it wasn't so much a problem.
Awesome work, keep it up, this who NBW thing is really intriguing me thus far, would love to see others take a step forward like you to help Bishop flesh this whole thing out.

I definitely appreciate the feedback. I also don't usually care for pictures during RPs, but since no one would know the pic bases for Vincent's family, and most probably still don't know his picbase either, so I just wanted it to be known, since Pryde and I will be showing them off more for NBW. Probably in the next Walker Family RP, I'll give L some more narration time, to differentiate her perspective from Vinny's. I just wanted to focus more on the family than anything for this first RP. |
