Petition for the RPG forum!
 

Alright folks here's the deal, there are probably not thousands of you using the RPG forum like they do the nonsense or discussion forum, but I think if we give it another chance we could really make it great!

So I'm starting this petition to bring a new life, a Reniasance if you will, to the RPG forum!


My name will be the first on the list.

By RPG, do you mean Role Playing Game?

To answer qpid and mullet hunter, yes RPG means role playing game, but it's closer to Role Playing and a story then a game, sorry for any confusion caused.

Sounds fun, I'm down.

well it would sure make more sense than a rocket propelled grenade forum! ;)

I liked the RPG thread. The one thing about it was all the threads were add on role playing kind of like the "add on three words" to carry on the story game. That can be fun, but I had an idea for another type of direction in with those games. It will take work on the part of whoever starts any particular thread doing it this way as well as a lot of creativity, but for any that like “Game Mastering” it would be cool.

One variation would be to have a pre-made story. Every three days (or more /less) you provide how ever many options the reader can take. The next post you put the outcome of their choices. The object of each game would be: in a game of say 15 posts by the GM, the players need to make the right choices to make it to the end. If something happens “You get jetted into space, thrown in jail, killed by the dragon” you can’t post anymore in the particular game. People that are coming in late can participate they just read what has happened up to the point and enter the post according to the choices, that way the thread is not closing itself off to anyone who didn’t start from the beginning. Players who die or whatever would hopefully be cool not to post until the end (although know it’s not an absolute rule). This does two things: it kind of takes out any personal decisions the GM has to eliminate someone or similar because the story should hopefully already be done. They’re just acting as more of an observer and informer. Most all of it adds something that the others may have not be as strong in; RISK. Risk makes it more interesting. This method could be compared to a choose your own adventure book.

The other variation would be similar to the above but the dice roll for any kind of battle system, interaction, or choice could be combining in any system the GM designed. Everyone would be on an honor system just like the above.

If they’re really creative the GM could take it a step further and illustrate{in any means chosen} the story. The players could post pics of they’re characters and the GM could take those and manipulate. . . . well you get the idea there’s a lot that can be done with this direction. I was going to start a short one before to see the response, but I’d love to participate in someone else’s as well. Any suggestions. . . comments?

If you like things with a bit more structure, and sense of direction you should give a look at my RPGs. They always have a storyline and a definite direction with heros, antagonists, and all that jazz. And in my RPGs all the characters make page long conversations and stuff so they can push the story in one direction or another.

Lets roll

im in for sure

In like Flynn.

This is a bit odd why wernt all of you involved when this was on TFP v3.0 and now you all say it would be great to ahve back i love the RP forum and would love to see it back but if the site cant handle it then so be it i was willing to put up with long waits and being the only person to post in a thread for a week then get a reply but thats just me many other people like the post to be fast moving and short witty remarks or something of the sort. <br> <b> You can take this as another mark for the revive list. </b>

If Im not mistaken the way Sun Tzu described it the GM's replies or new posts could be every 2 days/ 1 day / or every other hour the starting rulesfor each game are flexable. Icould be totally wrong though.

I'm in!!

Guess I'm gonna hafta throw in my two cents, and say I'm for sure in.

Woot!! New RP forum, Yay!

I think the idea of a "rocket propelled grenade" forum sounds like fun too.... :D *shoots off a grenade*

There's a first time for everything right?
icy_ca reporting for gaming.

Thank god! This finally got a bump!!!


I thought it would never happen!

Count me in you bastiches

(censored)

Put me down!

ummm wait...not put me down as in be mean to me!
Let's clarify.....I'd love to see that forum!
Whew......

If it's about roleplaying games as in dices and paper and pens and friends in your livingroom and not "Final Fantasy X is the GREATEST ever RPG!!!", I am in.

Suviko

It's more of an excersize in creative writing.... way fun

So we won't be discussing shaped charge warheads and how to aim for the lightly armored places?

Oh, hell. I'm in.

yea I am in

I have a suggestion why dont we just start running them in the Storys Forum then We wont need any like permition and its not like they take up much space on TFP 3.0 what were the 6RPGs going?

Since I'm currently playing in an RPG on TFP then YES I'm IN on an RPG forum.


Actually I don't mind opentocomments idea either..in the story's forum...perhaps.

I'll as active as possible in the RP forum!!
