  doing my civic duty of harassing u for anything ghibli related

generic ooc questions:
  • board host?
  • face claims?
  • discord?
  • im happy to make you buttons and tinker with things if you need a hand
  • for reals i'll talk up a storm and bug you just ask Kuro lol

Seconding Kap's worry about how open the titles demons and spirits are/will be. Do they HAVE to be human/oid, does it have to be Japanese rooted, can I be gross and play a penanggalan, what about playing a dragon the size of a house?

Which I guess leads into: why does this place need any systems/racial traits/stats? How would this encourage variety instead of mix/maxing? If stats or perks of some kind are involved, how do you balance that against having 'canons' like gods or bigwig shop owners?

I don't really wanna ramble too much since you already said you're fleshing things out aha, but also i like words, so here's some potential points to play with?
  • nature vs development: the Bordertown is drawn to touch parts of realms that are struggling to balance nature with industry. Every few months the focus rotates to a new area and the problems present there, events occur to either tip or restore the balance. A town overlogging. An overzealous forest god destroying villagers. Humans who have forgotten magic trying to reconnect with nature spirits.
  • personal growth: the pocket dimension is a place for those questioning their beliefs, self worth, the lost and the damned looking for a way forward in life that will make them happy. Some characters are permanent residents/helpers, other characters have a story that gets completed and the character leaves Bordertown since this part of their story is over. Characters appearing in the area could come from many different areas - the far flung future, a world where everything is underwater, the one where it rains donuts.
  • light, dark, inbetween: struggling against the concept of light and order is always good, dark and chaos is always bad. The Bordertown sees "evil" and "good" entities living together after their original realm becomes too bright or too dark. An exploration of grey areas, and learning how to be flexible and open.


late edit: i remembered the ni no kuni game exists and there was a second one, you could play around with those too, what with the two worlds and heart stuff

There was a site awhile back that was running off this concept and was pretty popular, though I never ended up joining due to Life(tm). There was elements of games like Unholy Heights, where it's an apartment block for monsters, and you have to defend it from those pesky Heroes coming to slay the skeletons and other monsters.

I'd like to see a sort of weird blend of modern and magic, in playing the 'staying secret from humans' bit straight faced but also shenanigans and bending over backwards to keep the human visitors and staff and potential residents? unaware that their apartment complex is a magical nexus. Style it like one of those super green/ecofriendly buildings, build it around a small park, sprinkle in a bunch of 'bigger on the inside' areas and have a bunch of weird rumours about how the place is haunted or full of cryptids (cue the local mothman sweating nervously and trying to set it up so thrill seekers find a convenient mundane explanation for things).

oh sup dude ok let's see about Pelipper Town:

Nay: we're jcink

Yay: pokemon slice of life hm/sos with magical elements so you can totally do a soul mate thing if you want. Come help me set up a magical maid cafe that is super out of place in a rural Canadian town. Use a face claim from Tokyo Mew Mew or Sailor Moon for peak mahou shoujo lol

Fantasy/super natural based small monster town/exploration/surviving in the face of invading Evil Empire. Play along the border of Idyllic Monster Territory to protect from Those Dang Monster Hunting Humans/Dwarves. Prooooobably no character mechanics despite being DnD inspired because I already run several campaigns - talk with your thread partners dang it. Let and run wild and free. Open lore, adapt stuff from other franchises to the site - not-Viera Blue Mages, totally-not-a-palico companions, that only looks a lot like a rathalos it's actually a matholas and eats accountants. Someone already made cat people? Make a distant tribe or one changed by local magic practices whatever man.

Play as characters. Play as NPCs. Pop into an open thread and drop a bomb on the participants. Just want to roll around running a faceless enemy army? Sure, go for it.

aka edgier Pelipper Town. Tell me not to guys
in that same vein: FCs optional, jcink based, OOC and individual character accounts most likely optional, very little staff micromanaging w/ members getting a lot of basic staff powers (locking/moving/archiving, anyone can drop posts in the discord announcements). Basically staff are here for skin updates and banning trolls. Not gonna drop premium money down until it's established but happy to later for those 18+ areas.

edit: site name: Kitchen Sink

edit 2: discord.gg/t2kGY5 yolo, come brainstorm the site and shape it blah blah
