Haha, I would take Wooper though!
Yeah, game mechanics is something you have to try out to understand what works well and what doesn't, I think. I've done that xD With traditional alone-going chapters like in Begin, Again, it moves incredibly slowly. With forcing people to travel together, like in Kanto Rewinded, there's always someone we'll have to wait for. With just doing like in most non-journey RPs in the RP Corner, like in Foreigners, I think the GM has an important role of steering and throwing events at the players as well as hitting the brake when people get left behind. It's not easy :x
I did try for Neo Kanto to have it normally chaptered though, but while being a player myself as well! That worked, I think, since I could be the one driving the game onwards when nobody else did ^^ the problem with Neo Kanto was... that I left to work during the summer... I think. Lol. Maybe I'll try that approach for Arcanum though. *snatches Pikachu or Elekid*
Gosh.. I've got too many unfinished RPs on my conscience :x gotta finish Foreigners before starting anew. Still don't wanna join? :3 I think I have one open spot and the ones who have said that they want it haven't posted their SUs, so...
