RPG's - A subject re-visited

Tombstone · 01-28-2006, 02:18 PM

May I see a showing of hands from those of you who would be interested in ForumGarden having a role playing game area?

The average age here in the garden is much higher than the average forum so I'm not sure if there is a real interest in rpg's.

If you need to ask what an RPG is, then I'll take that as a "no" vote.

Any particular genre. I used to play AD&D when I was much younger. I'd be interested to see how you could make it work across different time zones. The only other problem I might have is finding the time. But I'd be interested in certain scenarios.

Sounds like it could be fun...maybe?

I'm only experienced at playing RPGs in person, face to face with my fellow players. Not sure how it would work over the Internet.

It all depends what you mean by a RPG. Some of us internet veterans regard RPG's to be play-by-post roleplays where you write the life and times of a character. In the long run it is more fun and far more rewarding. It definately improves your writing as well.

You can check out what I mean by checking out my Roleplaying forum based in a fantasy world and based off the ancient Roman Republic:

Role playing is incredibly weak.

Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh, but I just can't stand someone pretending to be a dragon. And that pseudo Shakespeare makes me want to poke my eyes out.

Well there you have it. Snooze will not be role playing as "PUFF THE MAGIC DRAGON"

Tell that to a professional actor or a member of the Royal Shakespeare Society.
