thank u for these thought provoking questions!! a) yes i and whoever i get 2 help me do this shit will write a guide sorta b/c let me tell u when we did our little thingy with those nerds nono it was hell b/c they forgot the old stuff and we had to keep referencing the comic b) i agree with this, we might have a cbox or something but idk we'll see. c) levels will be based off of boonbuck which will be gained 3 ways: posting, missions, and combat. Combat system will be dice roll based maybe? idk have 2 work on that. d) yes. players will have to put in a mod summons to have a mod come and npc their guardian. alternatively, we could pull someone from a different session to do it idk. e) uh well u c. That will be complicated I guess and will require some work. im not entirely sure how people will work it out but there's always an alarm clock or ur sprite or have a buddy do it. I'll have to work on it. of course if u have any suggestions for this type away!!!!!!!! b) Actually, for pesterchums we could still have them? But maybe not like, as a seperate means for RP-ing, since I agree most people would probably stick to using pesterchum only. Maybe we can still have a seperate pesterhum board but you don't earn boonbucks for posting there? It could be used for like, plotting and stuff, because things like memos happen. Like those cellphone threads in other forums? I'm not sure whether those count as proper posts though. e) I was thinking for the derse/prospit thing that players can just do single posts of them waking up on their planets? Something like journal entries I guess? But if there're like, two or more people awake on the planets then it can be like a regular thread sort of thing. Unless we're talking about who gets to be awake on their planets, then maybe mods can pm those who are supposed to wake. Idk, just shooting ideas. hmm b) That's a better idea because I agree pestering is a pretty fun aspect of the game. e) Yeah it'll be randomly rolled who will get what which planet. I guess they could do something like u have to purchase an item to woke up? idk?? like u can use boonbucks or something?

ngl i'd sell you five quarters of my soul for a properly functioning hs site. and also if you need any help looking up lore/ referencing canon i'll be willing to help you out 100%.
somethings to think on:
alchemising. prolly one of the more overlooked aspects, but the whole system has the potential to be sooo much fun in rping. could easily run off boonbucks.
an overarching plot? interacting across separate continuities is sorta canon via dream bubbles and doomed timelines- but i was thinking of something that'd allow for players from all sessions to interact rather than being split into cliques of sorts. an overarching threat along the lines of LE maybe?
instead of trolls you could easily substitute another race of aliens who are linked to the human sessions- ones which are more accessible fc wise *cough*furries*cough*. personally i'd rather just go with humans only but /shrugs
p.s. you can only have one particular type of class/aspect in a session as far as i know- with time and space being the essentials for anything to happen. if you want to avoid the drama that comes with 'overpowered' you should prolly keep the levels to a bare minimum and let them culminate in the god tier.

tbh im glad ur offering ur soul to help with this cuz im gonna need it. the help that is not ur soul. maybe ur soul idk. a) ya i figured alchemising would use boonbucks like u go to the shop and buy grist so u can alchemize shit b) yupp. this how i figured the plot would go. every four players, i might make troll sessions six players, the plot "thickens" so to say. so let's say we only have 8 players, two sessions, which means the plot would only ivnovle them. ok another session happens and we can weave in this new session to the plot. c) as for the other races versus trolls idk like trolls are just the novelty of homestuck, you know? that being said i dont mind having different alien races for different sessions i guess? but jfc no furries4) ya that's tru but like the issue i have is that like wat if 2 ppl want to be knights?? or both want to be hope?? idk i would honestly prefer it to be random just so we don't have to deal with that.

b) I think this would be good since it'll allow more people to join? Cuz with homestuck it's sort of centered just around a few main-ish people, those that are the main characters before all that's left to have are the side characters (aka guardians/sprites). Unless we're making ancestors and dancestor things too. But I have a feeling that'll just make things even more complicated. ><
c) Yeah, I don't think it'll be very homestuck anymore if there weren't trolls involved? Yeah grey skinned fc-s are gon be kinda hard to come by but I'm sure some of us are more than happy to help with colour-changing characters. xD
d) I don't think this is that big of a problem? If someone's desired classpect is already taken they should just find other ways/other classpects that would fit their character I guess? Since character making is all kinda first come first serve no? We just need to make it compulsory for some to take the aspect of Time and Space.

I can just have a list showing what's taken and stuff.

Okay so one of my two cents is this and its the same reasoning that I gave my people that are playing the Homestuck Tabletop campaign with me behind it on the classpect being randomly generated by the staff.
No one in the actual game gets to pick their classpect. Now true people know their characters better than the staff to but the main point of it is to learn to work with it or have it work with you, to grow into a person that can use your classpect to your advantage. Not just hand you one you KNOW your character will be able to work with. It'll allow for character growth in character and make it to where people have to work for it. There are failed godtiers and there are successful ones and not EVERYONE is going to be successful. That's why random gen seems better to me.

Yeah, this is probably a better and it's really extra work for the admins, just for the roleplayer. And it'll be up to them to make it work yeh?

TBH its not work at all for a staff member grading the bios. I did it for 3 people in less than 5 minutes whenever I started the homestuck tabletop and if a staff member can't take the time to use a quick random # generator on an app then I wouldn't want them grading apps anyways for a site like homestuck because its a lot more work than a regular site anyways with how many things have to be kept track of. Another thing we need to think of is the eventuality of some groups completing their sessions. What are we gonna do when someone wants to make an entire universe as their reward?
