How do you think can chyoa forum benefit from roleplaying section? Sure, one can go to literotica or somewhere else for this but games inside small communities have their own benefits. Besides RPGs can always serve as a basis of new story or be a method to try new things\themes without creating a story on the main site.
On one hand I don't see why you couldn't do play by post rpgs on the forum, on the other hand you can achieve CYOA as well and arguably you have more options if you do it there. Unless you would like to do it in "private" or have a GM and a player setup in which case the forum is perhaps the better choice.
I think it would be a cool idea. Would this be a normal RPG, like adventuring through the woods with swords and shields? Or sexual RPG, where the swords are more figurative and shields only get in the way of cutting up each other's clothing? I've done the normal RPG on other sites. Even did a Final Fantasy version. Wouldn't mind trying a more sexual version.
I'd be interested in play-by-post here on the forum or, like raziel83 suggests, through the comments on a CHYOA story. What kind of game/story do you have in mind?
I tried through the comments on chyoa approach and made system that is too complex for the GM, should I test it on forum it would be better. I don't have any game idea ATM, but some will arise and I'd love to play some game GMed by brilliant writers of the forum
I've done some post-by-post roleplaying (both kinds) before, and would be up for doing some on this site perhaps.
I'd really like to see this get going. Anyone got any suggestions on starting one? I think we would need at least 3 players and a GM to start one up but we could run multiple games. Suggestions: GM runs only one game to keep from getting things tied up in multiple games. GM creates characters and lets Players fill those roles. Once roles are filled, game is closed to new members unless GM opens a new spot. GM controls all non Player characters Parts where players are interacting can go back and forth without GM interference unless fight scene or something similar comes up. (Suggesting dice roll system for such scenes) Player/Non player scenes can't be interrupted by another Player without GM consent. Players don't do kill scenes without GM consent. Players get only one character per game. (Trust me, having multiple characters per player can get confusing.... And that game didn't involve sex) I could probably think up more, but what do you guys think? I'm willing to play both as a GM and as a Player. I'd be interested Fantasy or Sci-Fi. Anyone else interested in trying? I could probably think up a Sci-Fi one to get rolling within the next few days.
I'm still up to play in one! Having only played-by-post once before, I'm not in a rush to GM, but those rules sound solid. Before you specified, I thought "Players get only one character" meant you were enforcing some kind of permadeath. "Well, that's it for you! Bye!" As for genre, I lean towards sci-fi but will play fantasy as well. Are you thinking out among the stars where no man has come before, or a little closer to earth?
Been forever since I've done one, but it was always a blast, especially with short, simple scenes per character. Count me in if you get one rolling, Fallen Saint. I also prefer sci-fi/fantasy, but I've done ones in all genres
Alright, I'll work on a rough outline of one and see what I can get rolling. I'll try to post up something here in the general board here sometime tonight or tomorrow. Who all wants to to join in so I can make sure I have a good count for making characters. Since Sci-fi seems to work I'm thinking making the story about a colony ship after Earth has been destroyed. EDIT: List for me to check back on later for players: Yarkoz Patzo
Ok cool I've edited my last post to keep track of names. I'll be making both male, and female characters, so when I post them, players can PM me who they want, but it will probably be first come first serve for characters to keep it fair. For you guys that have never RPed a female character, it can be fun, just be creative. (I've done it, it was fun.) When I get the characters up, I will give a brief description of the characters, but it will be the players who flesh them out and give them life. What I lay out will be guidelines to keep in mind while playing the character. A shy character could end up very courageous and outgoing, but that doesn't need to happen quickly.
I have no qualms playing a female character. I've done it before, though not sexually. I'm sure it's interesting and I'm willing to give it a go in this context
I think it will be fun to see how you play one of the characters I have in mind. I'm hoping to have my idea up tonight. I've been working on it for the thirty minutes (Longer actually but had to take a break and give my wife a massage) so I've finished a short back story and description of the colony ship. I'm working on the characters now. I am thinking I will start with six playable characters and add more if needed. The NPCs that I will control will be almost infinite so players can feel free to name random crew members and I just pick them up and run with them. I'm not going too heavy into backstory since this is the first game we are trying here. I've never run a SRPG (Sexual Role Playing Game) so this is a little new to me. Don't get me wrong, this seems like a fun project and I'm glad I get to do it. I'm open to any feedback once the game gets rolling so I can see what I need to work on as we go.
Sorry for the double post, but I got it finish quicker than I expected. I sacrificed my time I had planned to use for working on Shadow Hunters tonight to get this project rolling. For those hoping for more Orc action, I apologize and I will have the next thread up ASAP. Please feel free to start registering for the game after reading through the posted rules, the bit of backstory, and the character sheet. Characters' body types and builds were left open for players to manipulate as they see fit. When you are approved for a character, please add a more in depth description of how you see your character in your first post.
To anyone who comes here first, this is the thread for the game: http://forum.chyoa.com/threads/pbp-game-colony-ship-exodus-search-for-new-home.294/
Lol thanks Patzo I should have done that already, but I didn't think about it. I hope you liked what I came up with for the game.
No worries! I figured people would be drawn back to this thread by the new post notifications. And it's an interesting premise with plenty of angles to explore, I'm looking forward to playing.
