Now, what we can hopefully avoid is having someone doing stupid shit like giving themselves a Custom Tech that instantly kills someone or destroys a planet or... y'know... stuff like that. We'd also like to avoid someone just going from nothing to SSJ3 in a single fight. You want to use a power-up for some kind of cool character development? Awesome. Just don't be lame about it.

Rosters can still be replied to and edited by the people who own those posts, so you can go ahead and do that. I'm going to keep the Custom Tech Pricing thread open so if people want suggestions or feedback on threads, they can do that. If you want to spitball ideas on this forum, I welcome it.

Basically, we just want people to be able to make and write their characters, at this point. Now, that said, we're not just giving everyone carte blanche. Staff still reserves the right to veto something. Hopefully, though, we won't have to and people will just enjoy writing.]]>

The Chubbs community is now a Hub, and CDBZRPG is now a Node on that Hub. It will still receive updates and an active staff according to its activity.

The move is meant to be one toward greater member freedom and choice. No doors have been closed in this transition, but a number have been opened. Anyone may start their own Node, on nearly any subject you wish: zombies, college sports drama, organized crime families in Philadelphia in the 1960s, vampires in the year 2060, high fantasy, low fantasy, science fiction, the list is endless.

With this change from Chubbs as a single RPG, to Chubbs as a Hub of many RPGs, the Staff has changed form. Some members will be kept on as Hub Staff, who handle the general management of the Chubbs Hub, as well as organizing hub-wide events, and handling issues on the node-level at the request of a node leader. Each Node will have its own staff, appointed and handled by the node-creator. You do not need to be a member of the Hub Staff to be a node-creator, or a member of a node's staff.

Over the years, we have had many reflections on the CDBZRPG system. There's a lot of creativity here (both in terms of storyline, and game mechanics), and there are also disagreements on fundamental, mechanical issues (for which there is no 'right' answer). With this node system, we can take these differences beyond one-off topics in the QSU forum, and have them be sketched out in a working, community RPG. We can see what works and what doesn't, and we can all incorporate those discoveries into future projects.

It's a new thing, and as with all innovation, there will be kinks. We haven't found all of the weirdnesses yet. But we expect this to be a particularly vibrant, new era of Chubbs, of greater creative freedom for all members, where any idea, if solid and well-liked, can rise to the top.]]>

The Profession rules should be far more clear and easier to understand. Everyone should go in and give it another once over just in case.

The most important reason for this is to ensure that the correct terminology between “Jobs” and “Quests” is being used. They are not “Job Quests,” they are either a Job, or a Quest, not both. Also, please make sure you are stating the Job or Quest within your posts, as well as your specific Profession for easier tracking and recording.

These are just a few, as there are other awesome biographies.

During this process, we also changed some of the forum permissions. Any and all IC forums will be unable to edit their posts after they make them, including the OOC sub-forums in sagas. So be sure to double-check your posts before you make them, because after they’re up, that’s that. This also ensures that XP is being awarded correctly, whether it is due to people short-changing themselves by adding content, or inflating their counts by removing content.

We also will not take kindly to people whom post on other character’s Roster threads. Disciplinary action will occur on a first offense. Treat it exactly like you would in the Updates forum: stay in your own thread!]]>

As of this post, we are now a 100% custom RPG, and our system will be incredibly different. There is a full set of rules that are now available to you explaining all of these changes. These rules go for everybody. If there are any questions, feel free to ask and Rad or myself will fill in the details.

A lot of you are no doubt prepared for this and ready to begin at this very moment, so you’re more than welcome to follow the official procedure and post your roster for submission in the Joining forum, and a staff member will get to it as quickly as possible. Character Bios will also be accepted, and they will go underneath your roster. Though we’ve already seen a few of your selected images for your characters, please present them in the Artistic Interpretation thread so we can officially “register” them as belonging to your character. Once you select an image that is the general theme you need to follow. For example, one member has posted a pic of a girl with pink hair. His character should then always be a girl with pink hair, whether he uses the exact same person in those pictures or not.

I’d also like to extend a tremendous thank you to everyone who was involved in this project, past or present. It would not have been accomplished without each and every one of you. Your ideas, creativity, and determination to make a better RPG have been truly appreciated, and with it, I believe we have made a place that in one way or another will be enjoyable for all. We’ll definitely give you all a call again when we have the next big project on our hands.

So, without further ado, welcome to the next generation of Chubbs.]]>
