Need help with starting a faction

Post by afreshstart » Thu Nov 16, 2017 11:54 pm

Lately, I have been really interested in RPing a dragon cult. I haven't encountered or heard of any yet so I assume there are none currently. I'd like to start one on my own but there are two issues:

1) I have never been very involved with factions before so I don't really know how I'd run an engaging one for members and non-members alike.

2) I'm currently very busy with my studies, so my play times are quite inconsistent. Although I plan to commit myself to a faction as much as I can, I won't be able to do it all the time.

If you are interested , or plan to do something similar please let me know. Even if nothing comes from it I'd love to hear your experiences,advices and ideas. :D

Have a nice day/night!

My advice with a faction is that if you plan to start one make sure you have enough time to lead it. Most factions unless they've been around for many many months will fall apart if their leader disappears for an extended period of time. Factions tend to need quite a bit of help from their leader to keep the RP flowing and keep people interested!

If you can't be on very often then make sure to found it with a group of other 'founders' that will push it in your absence.

Thanks for the tip :) A reason I made this post is to hopefully find some people willing to co-found. I don't think I'll be a very suitable leader until my semester ends, and even after it ends the next one starts in a few months :? and after that grad school I hope :mrgreen:

Will it be a cult to a single dragon?
All color type dragons?
Or metalic?
