I'm currently working on a dragon RP right now. The idea is of a council of powerful dragons from around the world convening to discuss how the dragons will react to the growing numbers, power, and knowledge of humans. It will probably be none too long, heavy on speeches, dealing, and diplomacy while light on adventure and combat. Players would be welcome to make characters with preconceived notions and strong opinions. The reason the council is meeting is because of a difference in opinions, some viewing humans as ignorable, some as creatures to aid, some as servants and some as cattle.
I want players to develop their dragon's history with humans and also be ready both to defend that history and/or be open to change their mind. I don't have any preferred end in mind for this RP, it ends if the council makes a decision or my dragon(who convened the council) decides that they'll never make a decision and ends the council there. Either way I'll project this into an epilogue, so keep in mind that what you do will affect all of dragonkind. The fate of species rests on this meeting. But it's not all going to be the meeting, there'll be plenty of opportunity for private encounters to discuss things.
This might not go over well, but something that it might work to do is to make it clear in the OOC who is going to be the big campaigners and who will be the voters, as it were, but I'm not sure how well people are going to take having two classes of PCs.
So of course, interpersonal drama(former mates, offspring of another dragon attending the conference, enemies, et cetera) are welcome and players are encouraged to chat with each other to write them in. There's not going to be a lot of fighting, probably just one fight, but there's going to have to be a good in-story reason to make let it happen, as the point of the council is to talk things out.
And again, it probably won't be some fifty-page epic. Just a relatively short thread heavy on the dialog.
Anyone have any comments to make or ideas to share? Anyone interested at all?
