So Anontalk, I had been thinking. There are a few High School RPs out there, most of which are AU. There are tons of events where characters in an RP act as if they're in a high school. But has there ever been a non-AU High School type game or dressing room? I had thought about it like this.

It's one of those "WAAAAAAAH YOU WERE IN YOUR WORLD BUT NOW YOU'RE HEEEEERE IN THIS TOOOOWN" type of games, but generally, it'd be set up where the characters involved would be forced to go to school and do something there, be it a student or a faculty worker, janitor, teacher, cafeteria worker, all that. I'd figure that it would also be one large school, for anyone who wants to app an adult, child, teenager, whichever ( ... )

It could be fun, but it wouldn't be too appealing to me--I'm not too fond of high school games just because I wasn't that fond of high school. ...Then again, I've had fun at high school events in games before, and I know some people do really like that game, so it could be a fun twist on the typical jamjar.

So would you be able to app pre-canon versions of characters? Not AU, but of school age, if you'd rather them study than teach?

Maybe, if you can think of how they'd be pre-canon/if they hadn't changed much at all.

Kewlie beans.

I've thought about something like this, except normal high school bores me, so I was thinking about a weird mystical interdimensional very bizarre and sliiiiiightly creepy type of school. The thing is, with all the setting ideas I liked it was starting to get really complicated. Some of my concepts included ( ... )

If it isn't AU then you're really going to have a compelling reason for people to go to freakin' school instead of trying to escape or leave - but one not so terrifying that they can relax into a school routine.

Yeah, this. I like high school AUs just fine, but a high school jamjar is a little... I dunno, it just seems like something you'd make for the purpose of being able to go LOOK GUYS WHAT A TWIST. And it's not that great of a twist.

Boring.

Not to say "your jamjar needs plot" but it definitely needs more than "get a big cast together and leave to their own devices." If it runs on that, there's no way that it'll survive early days, when there will not be enough characters.
