I completely and utterly am excited for this akroma I'll be happy to join you could probably run a my little pony game and I'd play it to be honest so this sounds marvelous!

the day i see an mlp game on bay12 is the day i decide to kms

*makes an mlp game*
wat then
huh
wat
then

i'll haunt you

yay
we'll be roommates

so this time, I will put the rotmg in a more serious, realistic spin

I'll pass on this one. I never felt RotMG was supposed to be serious and gritty (having played in almost every RotMG-related game); after all, we may as well play a Magical Burst game if we want a serious magical girl RP, and there are plenty of other games that provide much the same atmosphere with similar systems out there on this forum alone. I always felt that RotMG should be one of the lighter games on the forum; after all, we're not talking about a realistic world, we're talking about magical girls shooting friendship beams, going to high school and saving the day before dinner. Realism, at least in my opinion, should never come as a priority of an RotMG RP, and I always had more fun in the first two and Rise of the Fingerlings precisely because of their utter lack of seriousness, at least at first.

I'll be honest, I wasn't a fan of the apocalyptic or dark turn the last two RotMGs took. They felt too serious, like they weren't really trying to have fun with what is an inherently silly concept (not to say that serious magical girl shows are bad, it's just that reconciling sparkly meguca with gritty topic matter is very damn hard and takes a master to do it) and to be quite honest, forced a dark tone on something that wasn't dark to begin with. They never really felt like they were true successors to RotMG so much as it felt like games with the name plastered on that was otherwise completely different. Not to say that they were bad games, far from it; it's just that forcing the idea of RotMG and seriousness together has, to me, felt rather like forcing a square peg into a round hole and it never really worked without serious cooperation and investment.

Also, I'm not a fan of serious and gritty games on principle. I've felt rather burned out with serious and gritty media lately, to be honest.
TL;DR: If it's a serious RotMG, I'm out.
