I am Fell. Here to be using forum of internets!
I got directed here by someone promising some good One Piece roleplay, so I'm all in for that. I'll see you all around.

Hello new person Fell. Well if you want good one piece roleplay for a fair price, you've probably come to the right place.
The fair price being, some backlog to get the hang of, but we'll work you in no problem.

I was part of a place like this -many- years ago, so I know basically how it works, the rules seem simple enough so I should jump in fairly easily. Hope I'm not too rusty.

Oky doky, well if you have any questions or such, feel free to ask, and we'll see if we can't work you in somewhere.

Mm, can I have a basic reading list of stuff I should absolutely know before I get started?

When you say basic reading, do you mean in relation to the backstory of the RP, or just how to make a character, the rules, and how to start playing?

The former, I already hunted up the rules and character template.
A clue on where to start wouldn't be remiss though.

Ah ok, I understand. This thread; mangablast.proboards.com/thread/93/op-rpg-databaseShould have everything you need. It's not entirely up to date, but given a good read (it is a long read after all), you should be up to speed on what's gone on so far. --- As for currently, I suppose the question would be, in what capacity would you like to join the RP? For simplicities sake, we usually just have people join the main thread, which details the story of the primary crew. In that thread, the crew is currently the prisoner of a techno mad man in his own twisted paradise of perfectionists. The person in charge of that, Kuro, would be the one to talk to on how to join, but if you're really intent on jumping, I'm sure we can find a way no problem. Of course the main crew is not the only crew, and there's nothing stopping people from making new crews or even their own sub-roleplays, if they have willing players. The choice is yours how you want to jump in, but whatever it is, we'll be glad to help out.

How many people are currently in the primary crew, and what basic roles are filled?
Can people join the main crew as a "Guest" and then split off to have their own adventures with another/their own crew?

Absolutely, we've had many a person hang around with the main crew in the past as merely a transition, till they found some players for an adventure of their own.
As for the main crew, if I am not mistaken, there are probably around about 5 members. There's not really any "roles" per se, but the captain fills sort of the dextrous fighter type, the first mate is the doctor and a sort of schemer type, we had a tribal but she's on hiatus as a character I think. As well there's a shepherd who doesn't have a role yet but can sort of fight, and then there's an animated sword which belongs to the captain that fills the role of navigator last I checked.
That's the main crew in summation, assuming I haven't left anyone out. Again, you can take any role you'd like, and you can actually have more than one character (other ones can be in other threads or crews), though it's usually better to start with one and go from there.

Mm, I read over that thread you provided, it seems pretty interesting, but I'm worried much of it just sailed over my head. Hopefully my being a bit confused won't provide much of a barrier.
I'll try my hand at a few different character concepts. I don't want to dirty up the character approval thread with my scribbles, so is there any way to get more active feedback on a work in progress?

It's true, the backlog is daunting but don't worry, it's not necessary to know, to be able to play. Basically all you need to know in terms of the setting at large, is that this RP takes place shortly after the War of the Best. Aside from that, there's very little of the canon kept around, aside from the general premise and rules of the setting.
For the RP itself, currently there is something of a world war going on between several player-made nations, and the main crew is trying to make it through these rough seas, but is currently being held prisoner by one of these player nations. Apart from that, you can go in blind, and still get the hang of things in no time.
---
As for your character ideas, you can either post them in the RP discussion thread in the same section, private message them to players in the RP, or simply just post them here if you like. The choice is up to you, we won't mind where you do it, we're not picky here lol. As for feedback, feel free to ask any questions you may have at all, and also you might want to get an account/use the chatbox for the site, as it's a much more active way of talking to members, instead of just making lots of thread posts.
Again, just ask about any questions and we'll be happy to clear things up.

Currently the main crew active thread is "Victoria's Darkness: a Waltz through Steam" if I got the title correct.
If you have any questions about the situation in that thread, or the characters in them, I'll be happy to answer, it's a bit disconcerting at the moment, since things are coming to a head.

I might could wait a while. I've got some ideas now, but it might take time to get them finalized.
