helllooo! it’s been a while and id like to apologize for how inactive ive been in regards to posting. im posting today to gauge interest on a new idea ive had!
since ive been getting back into hollow knight, and have wanted to do this for a while, i thought now would be a good time to try this out!
so, ive been considering hosting a small rp campaign over discord specifically, centered in the universe of hollow knight of course! the setting will be the kingdom i made (highnest) and will involve a couple of my characters as well (however they won’t be super important!) i wont reveal too much about the plot right now, so to keep this as spoiler free as possible the only thing ill say is that itll involve a mysterious new place to explore….
however. im still very very stuck on one thing only and that’s the involvement of hallownest in the story. im debating whether or not hallownest should have a larger presence by being directly involved or instead be more on the side with the main focus being on highnest instead. on one hand, involving hallownest could create some interesting plot hooks and have existing lore that could be easier to build upon (plus canon characters if people would like that!), meanwhile not including hallownest would give me more creative freedom in creating my own plot hooks. yk?
if you have your own ideas or any questions whatsoever, feel free to comment and ill answer to the best of my ability :] thanks for reading!

If still possible, I think I might be interested in ing ^^
Also, maybe just focusing on Highnest could be beneficial as having two sets of lore for two separate places could be a bit confusing or overwhelming. But that’s just my opinion, I’m not fussed.
(My reply has likely come too late anyway, oops)
Is being interested and not minding count?
ah i shouldve put that down too oops. it does, don’t worry!

Nice to know ^^
I could give you my most sincere opinion regarding rping in Hallownest. I've got a lot of experience with roleplay and HK-related in particular.
Edit: I misunderstood what this meant, however, I feel like my input can still be worthwhile on whether or not to include Hallownest in the experience.

I've had a kingdom concept for a while now, and when brainstorming, I realized something, a fundamental problem when it comes to rping with Hallownest-centered themes.
1- It severely limits creativity. Although Hollow Knight is rich in potential for filling in the blanks, it's true that it's very limiting for s that enjoy creating another caliber of characters (for example, I'm a big fan of steampunk-technomagical settings. Silento is a big, big example of that with his arsenal mostly consisting of modern weapons made possible by magical capabilities).
2- It gets old quick. Most people are already far too acquainted with Hallownest, which means that it could get boring a few actions in, and boredom leads to premature burn-out. In the context of Roleplay, a new world is far more inviting to new ideas and original concepts. I've already worked in a Hallownest-centered setting, and although I'm quite proud of 'Ruins of Hallownest', it's true that I'm not as ionate about it as I am with my current baby (Mozandria). Speaking of which, I wouldn't mind exchanging ideas, I enjoy every chance I get to talk about it!
And last, but not least, I'd also like to see an in-depth explanation of the new concept you may have in mind. I would love to see whether I could suggest a few tweaks or even whole new parts to the mix!
I'd love to take part in this, I've been itching to get to use some of the new characters I've been working on (which are mostly mozandrians). I'll be waiting for your response, and if you'd like to talk more comfortably in the case that my offer to exchange ideas interested you, consider taking this to a PM!

i see! i think you bring up some very great points about hallownest in a rp setting, and i completely agree! personally, im more inclined to use a completely original world over hallownest (which as i already mentioned in the post would limit creativity). however i made it an option to include it more as i noticed hallownest-centered rps tend to gain more traction as they allow players to engage better with the new world by using something already familiar to them. i made this poll mainly with the players’ interests in mind, as im aware some people prefer involving hallownest and others don’t. thanks so much for your opinion! i really appreciate your interest in this project :]
and id be more than happy to give you a more in depth explanation as well! im still working out the details but i think the core concept is pretty solid for the most part. feel free to talk about your kingdom and the characters you plan to use as well! would you mind dming me?
