The List of Current interactives and ones to be made

This is a monthly updated catalog of every Interactive History currently running and those which have been alive (and since died) since 2007. I'll try and keep this up-to-date - but if you have any complaints, suggestions or comments about the IH's feel free to post. This thread has been given a shakeup since its four years old and showing it. :sweatdrop:

Note
We're running a it low on games lately so a appeal from me - have a go! Go ahead and host a game, see how it works and goes. Even if you think your a rubbish writer it doesn't matter. Yes we're that desperate! Also try and get the word out there, as I believe these games have universal appeal to any game player, history lover or writer in general!

Rhyfelwyr's - Rise of the Capetians
It is the year of our Lord 987 AD. Only fragments of the Carolingian dynasty of West Francia remain. On the 3rd of July Hugh Capet was proclaimed as "rex Francorum" at Noyon in Picardy. Unlike previous Carolingian monarchs, Hugh was elected by the nobles of France, justified at the coronation by the words of Adalberon: "Crown the Duke. He is most illustrious by his exploits, his nobility, his forces. The throne is not acquired by hereditary right; no one should be raised to it unless distinguished not only for nobility of birth, but for the goodness of his soul."

Add mine to the list, I just haven't got the time to write a chapter now, it's still active, but I need about 2 hours to write a proper chapter, time I didn't have for the last month since I had my exams, they are over now, so next week I should be able to write another chapter again.

What is the name of your interactive?

https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=69823

this is it, it has been inactive since Christmas as I was busy then and my exams started directly after

Great idea, warluster! Although it will be some work to keep the list updated. Some interactive sleep for quite a while.

Although I have my own active IA, and am strongly involvoed in Legio's, I have already an idea for a new one. But there is still a long way of preparation and planning :beam:

Due to the nature of some Interactives, I think story-driven "Kraxis-classical" ones should have at least 2, or 3 months limit before being put into inactive mode and dropped from the list -- King Henry's magnificent English one takes a long time between each chapter, for example. They are subject entirely to the author's whim and write-ups between each chapter will take time.

Multiplayer ones, due to their nature, should be around 1 month or even 2 weeks limit before being dropped into inactive, except may be the full blown interactives like 17th Century where outsiders don't know about the behind-the-scene games being played between players and could've taken longer.

I am going to be starting a Kraxis style interactive about the ACW in a week or so. It will follow Lee and the Army of North Virgina, starting just after Chancellorsville.

There is a list of interactives in the Mead Hall Library (link in my signature). However, since I am not as active here as I used to be, it may not be entirely up to date.

I'm making one about 480's Civil War in Carthage.

I have once again updated the list!

I want to host one, but I dont have a clue to what about?

Maybe we should ask for ideas.

Just go with the era you know the most about.

What are your preferences?

You can put mine up there, not sure if it's considered an interactive history, though.

Sorry, hadn't updated this for 'bout a month. I shall update it soon, yes yours is considered a interactive history, don't worry.

Wish someone would sticky this

THe list is updated with latest games.

Actually it is set in 1964 ~;)

Whoopsie, am changing now. Thanks for telling me.

I believe there is one part of a description missing: 17th century is not described as "Epic" anywhere.

Once WWI is finished, i will be starting a mystery interactve. WOOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOOooo

Franconicus's- Red Flood
Set in 1940, and about an German Officer. An gripping an exciteing story, this one has regular updates.

- done -

Updated List.

Updated List.

Updated List.

Also, do you have any suggestions to mkae this list better? Or perhaps more informing? if so, please suggest, as I am looking to make this list more informative, and would like to know what everyone else what want to see!

I would clean it out a bit, for example remove the Abandoned option until there is something to put there and combine the Paused and Done options.

I also think it would be a good idea to create links to each game and the stickied thread of what to do when you are thinking of starting an interactive.

Is there a way we can get this thread stickied? Assuming it is updated often enough, it's value will be priceless for new players and new comers to the board.

Tarrak (Kraxis) has gone missing, last time I saw him was a long time ago on TeamSpeak, March I think it was. We just have to update it every now and then.

I agree with Derasciti.

I also thought of something. Do you think you could divide the Interactives up into they type of interactives they are?

EDIT: Also, a summary of what has happened so far would be great, but would probably have to be provided by the person doing the Interactive.

Sure, thanks for the suggestions! I will get to work now.

Okay, as you can see, I have updated the list with everything you proposed CA.

If any IH Maker wants a summary of what has happened in there game in the list, please PM it to me and I will add it for you.

I'm still open for ideas!

Looking good :2thumbsup:

I think I'll start a new Tarrak (you call him Kraxis) styled IH after this summer (somewhere around the start of the academic year). Problem was that my last one had little people who played it, only Ducky really, that really puts you of writing. So I'll start when this forum is really active.
Plus that I still have to think of an area to have it play in.

I sent a PM to Kraxis in May and he didnt read it yet.

I've PMed Tosa about stickying this.

Thanks CA.

I was thinking, next year, for the CH Awards, could try to mkae it a bit more formal, but do you think we should have badges, badges saying the words CH on it, and when you hover over it, it tells you what thus person won?

Nah as I said, he's inactive.
I believe someone (from another forum (the one where Tarrak run the British side of Duel of the Sea)) mailed him sometime back, and afaik he's awfully busy with reallife, he moved just before Christmas and had loads of internet problems. He never visited after that.

That would certainly be very cool. We could start a thread in the Monastery about it.

What does everyone think about getting a new Moderator in here? We could try to sort something out with Tosa.

We have CBR here now, but I haven't really seen him around either

His last activity was Today, but he doesn't seem to show up around here.

I have once again updated the list with info of latest IH's and some extra stuff.

Thanks for the Sticky Tosa (or whoever may have done it :tongue:) !

Updated the list with the new IH.

Remove the Persian Civil War

Your wish, has been completed. I have also removed the German RP Game.

:2thumbsup: Wooooo. I didn't even have to tell you to remove it. But you might have another to add soon...But it will be a normal Interactive History. Somewhat like Kagemusha's Sengoku Jidai IH.

Updated the list.

I've updated it again, and this time time I have a question.

Do you think we should give the CH Awards a somewhat makeover, or do you want to give it up? If not, do you think we should get badges?

I think we should try to role it into the Org awards.

The list has been updated.

Note: Your IH has to have been active for two - three chapters to make the list.

Will PM you about my IH today Warluster

The list has been updated with the latest things, I shall add some more CH News and a bit more. Also, ask any questions here!

This hasnt been updated in a while. Notice how the WWI interactive slips the cut?:grin2:

Anyway, I admit content to make a 1980 WWII interactive. This follows up after the WWI interactive, and how it finished.

It is been updated a few weeks ago actually, I am updating it again now though. Thanks for reminding.:2thumbsup:

I advise people to.. start begging Tosa and moderators for a spot in HOF! We didn't get it last year, can't remmeber why, but it should be in this year, hopefully. Start nagging in the HOF thread peoples!:laugh4:

The list has been updated again.

With having to delete all the inactive IH's I was quite concerned; the ones running now are simply superb, and faithful. With their major succes, surely someone else is, what's the word... inspired to start up a new one. The CHapter House is getting a tad empty (Didn't post Tran's IH as inactive due to the hope it'll restart, but that means theres only TWO active IH's!)

THe list has been updated again.

I ahve also added a new section at the bottom called the Archive. Right now it only has a list of finished IH's but I am eager for suggestions on how to improve it.

Also, would it worth asking the Gahzette to advertise the CHapter House? More player's I am sure would be welcome, and I don't think many new members see the CH around.

The Gahzette has not been publishing articles for months.

The list has been updated. There is only one active IH (Concert of Europe) now that Kage has left. Hopefully we will get more people coming to the CH over the Christmas period.

Hey
I'm planning to make an IH here... Atm I'm doin' some research, and thinkin' about the stuff.
Soo, I din't come up with the name yet, but the main action is going to be set up in the near East, 11-14 cent. / in other words - Crusades.
If anyone will be interested, I'll speed up working with the basics of this IH.

Cheers!

Sounds like an interesting idea; I'd sign up!

What sort of style are you going to make it as? a sort of 'Diplomacy' type of game, or a singular story? I could recommend a few.

Good luck!

Dono how to describe yet, but here's some breaf information:
If playing for the Christians - I think in the beginning player will be given a hero (some Noble lord), from a Chr. country (any). They are given with an army, chose how to get to Holy land (in other words who to support, Venice, Genoa, Pisa or Bysantium E. - I think putting some different bonuses to each side, and in the future, you'd need to earn respect of these city-states and empire). Thus Launches the first Crusade, so now they deside, conquer, trade, build. Bdw, when Noble Lords enter the Near Asia, they may chose to enter the Crusade Order, or just to support it, and many other things... and this are only if playing for Chr., so I think the game can hold unlimited number of players (within reason of course xD), I'm still thinking about the Muslims, and how the battles will go.

Hey ppl, how about organizing a new Interactive?
If anyone is interested, think there are need to be made some discussions, sort of.

Haven't updated this thread in around... two years. :sweatdrop:

It's all new and shiny now and keeps a stunning catalog of all two of the active games, in case you can't find them. [/sarcasm] Interesting going back into the archive though, and seeing the old games. Like I said in the OP - have a go at hosting a game even if your uncertain!

I agree and I want to add: join games and keep it working. There is no good story without good players!!

Make a War of Austrian Sucession IH, then a 7 years war IH to follow it!!

I would love to join a seven years war IH, if some hosts it and if there are some reliable players. I also have some other ideas in mind, but I see a lack of palyers!!

You know I would join any of your IH's Fran, big as the CoE IH or as small as the Invisible Enemy one. Just make it something I like. :balloon2:


It seems we have players but no hosts and other times we have hosts but no players.

I think it's the oppsoite now. I think we got the players but no hosts to do a big one. :embarassed:

Lol,how do you make one?

What do you think of a multiplayer game : De bello Gallico?

Sounds good.

Or a Frederick the Great .vs. Feldmarshal Daun thing.



Anything is good with me :yes:.

These one-vs-one games are more suited to the 'Duel of the Sea' sort of style games, where its the readers voting on decisions, much like your current game Franc.

Just a small idea, though I believe it could work well - having a game set in some Cold War battlefield, say Korea or Afghanistan, and then have four to six players representing the United States, USSR, UK and perhaps the Eastern Bloc. The game operates as a normal game in this respect with decisions presented each chapter from where this chapter would lay out everything which happened over a set of months.

Where it diverges from a normal sort of game is that we have another four or five players all playing as the United Nations. So as the major superpowers all make their decisions and backstab and kill, they are supervised or watched closely by the UN who pass edicts and acts (Such as embargoes,isolation or even posting a peacekeeping force) but these acts may only be voted on by the six players who signed up as the UN?

Simply - a normal game with a overhead group of players representing UN/world opinion and acting as a governing body? It could be an exciting game where the superpowers plot against each other and manipulate the smaller powers, while the UN players are constantly working to prevent war from breaking out and keeping the war 'Cold'.

Sounds good Warluster. I always like the ideas of those types of IH's. Maybe it be better then a warfare type of IH. And even if someone does a another War IH of sorts, maybe it be a smaller one. Like a Austro-Prussian War (1866) with one as Austria and one as Prussia or a Crimean war with only England,France,Ottoman Empire,Sardina and Russia playable and no one else and have set objectives. Russia to defend their terroties for so many turns and do this and this and for the Allies to take Crimea for example, I don't know.
