We're recruiting for a non-video roleplay since odd's season 5 won't be for forever. 
If you don't mind I have an idea for the RP each person participating should lead their own squad of 4 people instead of 6 and they control who those 4 people are and how they are cohesive with each other. Also theme songs, each squad should have one and a main theme for the whole RP cause who doesn't like to listen to music when they read, if each squad has a unique theme it not only helps tell them apart but really set the tone for that persons writing.

Well,that sounds like fun. I can't wait to see, what we do with this RP.
I modified the XCOM shorts thread I made an tweaked it for our rp

We should totally have a group discussion once we've gathered our group so we know how we want to set this up.

(Nice Theme :O) One interesting question is...are we going to do EW, Long War, or a mix of the two for our rp?
(Also, has anyone watched the EU trailer on steam? It was pretty badass, especially the bit with the sectopod.)

most likely just normal EW but if people want to do long war it may be a little difficult due to its vastness

True...I shall return at 4-6 Central tommorow, we'll probably start organizing this thing then. Good night all.
This all sounds interesting, but I'm a bit confused about the details on this RP. So we tell the stories of individual teams of four going on missions and their interactions with the other groups of four controlled by the other RPers? Who acts as the Commander, Bradford, Shen, and Vahlen? Would it include other X-COM staff? And I'm sure all of us half the basic script and flow of the game down, but how do we determine when things happen, like new weapons or armor, or the base assault, or the first ethereal encounters?

Get back to me in 4 weeks time, then I'll be able to actually do stuff. I'm interested but unable.
I think we were thinking of doing more of a view of the soldiers than command but we can figure out set times that things unlock.
Well, if that is the kind of Role Playing people are thinking of, I'm technically a game master. I have some experience with D&D, Rifts, Call of Cthulhu, and Mafia, but most of my GMing experience is in All Flesh Must Be Eaten (AFMBE).
Of course, that all depends on whether we are talking about just a community story telling thing or a full-on RPG. I'm honestly still not entirely sure on everyone's intentions.
