Forums » RP Discussion » Magic Academy in a blackhole, anyone?

I have an idea for a magic academy where you leave Earth and go through a black hole to Terre Firma. While there, you learn how the world changes your body to be able to do amazing things like magic. There will be wild animals and jungles with overgrowth.
I have a plot line ready to go and how a student would get magic but I am not sure of everything yet.
I just want to know if there are any serious players interested in writing 2 or more paragraphs for this RP or if there is anyone who would co-gm with me.
It sounds like a very interesting idea, but it is kind of feels a touch generic to me. Tell me a bit more about this idea of yours, what is the overall plot? What is the school called?

The students (the first few will name the school) and the overall plot are to learn how to live in an apocalyptic setting that has regenerated magick.
I need help in filling in the gaps from a Co-Gm. I never made an apocalyptic setting before or played in one. If you want to help me plan the RP, please speak up.

Here is a more detailed version of the interest check:

World Building
A dark hole opened up very close to Earth. It has a gentle suction like a vacuum cleaner, it moves the grass and trees as it senses for individuals to collect. As you look at the dark hole at night, you can see a faraway castle. If you are intrigued by the sight, you might even walk under it by accident, or maybe the dark hole moves over you. It doesn’t matter how you end up in the dark hole, you will find that it is cold and you are being twirled about. You lose most of your memories and gain some new abilities.
The air is getting thinner, and you lose consciousness. When you next gain your consciousness again, you will be lying in a meadow of tall grass. Grass that is seven feet tall or taller. An animal or two might run from you, but it goes by so fast, you don’t recognize it. Perhaps a strange-looking bird flies out of the grass. Perhaps you remain unconscious until you feel a wet sensation across your feet and head. You open your eyes to a floating robot with a dripping sponge hanging from it.
When you stand and look about, you can see the top of a castle far off in the distance. Maybe you can get help there, so you begin to walk towards the castle.

This is a futuristic world where robots handle routine day-to-day things. You don’t have to make your bed or wash clothes or any of those dreaded chores. The castle is sentient, and it is done for you by the castle and robots. There will be a registration desk where you can sign in, and you will be given an assigned room number. A clipboard with a box under it will pop up. It will have a key, maps, and a tablet. Your room will be circled on the map, and a dot will show where you are. The map will guide you to your room if you follow the dot.
I use a lot of pictures to show what I mean. I will start on a map next.
YC will help MC discover what is in the castle and the surrounding land. You will help create the world for it is wide open to almost anything you can do.
While I dont have the time or energy to be your co-gm for this universe with you, i will give a bit of my opinion to help you make it better to the best of my ability.

Overall it seems like a very interesting idea, right until the second paragraph about. This is where it kind of feels jarring from the picture you were trying to paint, least to me. You go from a other worldly fantasy to something more sci-fi fantasy.

It also sounds like you've taken some inspiration from Harry potter (with a twist), but also kind of gives howls moving castle vibes.

Now that I pause and think about it, it is a cross between fantasy and sci fi. I didn't think about Harry Potter because I don't do cannon ideas.
There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other forms of media. But I understand.

So from what I understand, it goes from modern, then through this mystery black hole that inspires intrigue and curiosity over fear before it drags you into this whole other world that is more futuristic with a generous helping of magic. It sounds pretty neat overall and since I dont have the time to bring this world to life with you, I will support from the sidelines.
