Prologue: excerpt taken from a translation of the hymn of beginnings

In the Beginning was Indulgence and possessed God and Indulgence was God.

He looked upon the Earth and saw that it was empty and dry. 
And Indulgence said “Let the Waters fill the earth and Let the Earth bring forth Life.

And it was so 

Indulgence Named the Earth Arvus. 

And Indulgence Named himself Lord of Arvus 

And it was so.

Indulgence Ruled Magnanimous and with Great Splendor.
Then came The Great Other, the corrupter of all.

He came slowly and with Great Stealth. 

And Indulgence Saw not.

He touched all that was Indulgence and all that He touched became like him. 
 

And Indulgence was wrath. His face was red with fury.

”How dare you take what is MINE”

And across in might, our Lord Lifted his fist. 
 

then came the Third. The one of Shining and pride.

He came not as the Other but with Boldness and much arrogance. 

With a Great voice he did give challenge. With a conceited face he did demand a confrontation.

 

Indulgence drew back not out of fear but wisdom . 
 

For why fight your enemies when you can get them to fight each other?

 

 And Our Lord did plot.

Forgiveness for the intrusion, but things of this kind interest me, in their way. My experience of the organization of roleplay is practically nonexistent. What little I have seen is merely the tangential glimpses that all might find themselves privy too. Everything I believe might help could prove disastrous. And, perhaps this is a thing too far set in its creation for my words to be anything but an addendum.

Anyway, I can’t help but feel that such an open ended beginning or introduction will only harm the chances for a… roleplaying subforum(?) to get off the ground, so to speak. A grand scale without restriction is maybe too much freedom, at least at first. Order is needed.

I suppose my primary recommendation would be an event to drive interaction and conflict. A way to introduce character personality through pressure. Something specific and narrow, to introduce the setting and style this roleplay offers. This would be restrictive, yes, but sometimes it is within limitation that creativity burgeons, or something like that.

After this potential event, one could expand further, with what has been done serving as a foundation. 

Though, perhaps, such a methodology could be contrary to what is desired out of this thing. Something casual, maybe? I understand that this is meant to be more free-form, yes? Utilizing stricter rpg rulings would perhaps not serve well a forum environment, anyway.

Alas, that is perhaps all I can offer.
