Parabellum

I am constantly amazed by the creativity and innovation of role-playing fans. I'm not a regular myself but remember being roped into a session on Cissbury Ring ages ago when I was tasked with acting out a ghoul with tennis ball fireballs - briefed to activate when a player said a key-word. Tramping through the evening mist in our costumes was particularly memorable.

What has this got to do with our beloved Elite: Dangerous?

My shower-thought is this. How difficult could it be to organise set-pieces online (in the same vein as D&D) with scripted or ad-libbed leading characters and special events, which can be joined by other players to participate or viewed via a live feed on Twitch or YouTube?

Perhaps this could be another way to give more exposure to Elite: Fiction etc.

It should be very doable. One of the problems with trying this in most MMORPGs is stopping random passers-by from interfering or getting in the way, or the RPers annoying other players. The grouping system in ED means the RPers have total control of who takes part and can still use the most popular area's.

I'd be game, I have two character both of which can work in a major story arc. If you start coming up with a concept I'll take part, depending on timezones of course. What's the Elite equivalent of "See you on the drift?". I'm tempted to say "After the jump", but I'm not sure.

Combining in game play with strictly in character forum threads would work rather well. I'll make something to test the idea, perhaps an in universe news article or something in the vein of Cerberus News Network.
