Apocalypse

I would like to start an open role play based on a post-apocalyptic scenario that is unspecified, where characters build their own stories and the back story to the world as they write.

No rules, no formal posting format, just players writing a story that develops through their (perhaps eventual..) interaction.

I would start it with a post that hints at the post apocalyptic world and at my own character but leaves it as open as possible for others to insert themselves wherever and however they see fit.

The post apocalyptic world I envision is gritty, hard, with very few survivors who might eventually meet and work or at least journey together. Bad actors might also join but I see the players creating those as third parties (non-player characters) to the story, mostly.

I see this as a club, where players may create areas or join in to the single one I will create where my character is: giving the opportunity for players to build characters and their story independently before meeting, if they wish.

I played in a similar role play a few years ago - one of my first - and it was wide open, enticing, involving and fascinating.

To be clear, i do see this as wide open, including with sex, but the aim is to build a world together not to indulge in a quick fling.

I am open to discuss the idea and adapt it, but do not want to over-think and spend ages on every tiny detail: it should be a few characters who like the idea and feel comfortable creating their character and the world through the narrative.
