Forum RPG

[TheLastDays]

Hello everyone!

This is merely a "should I do this?"-thread at the moment...

I have been thinking about it for a while now. I have succsefully played and hosted numerous Forum RPGs on other sites, predominanty on german speaking boards, and I have always enjoyed these kinda games and so I thought about hosting one here at the .org

It would be my first FRPG in english but there's always a first time, right?

An FRPG is basically a story that the players create together, sometimes with pretty strong involvement from a GM, sometimes almost anything is made op "on the go", by what the players do. These games tend to have less rules, or let's say, less strict rules, than i.e. a Mafia-Game and focus more on the RP element than the actual "I want to win this"-motivation.

I know a game like this would of course go on for much longer than the usual games in the gameroom, although it wouldn't tie up that many players... you can't really play these with too many players anyway...

I've seen whole message boards that actually were dealing with, for example, console games, being held up only by a thriving FRPG community, now that's certainly not needed here as the forum is doing well but it never hurts having a new fun game going, does it?

So my questions are
1) Is there interest in this kind of game? That's what the poll is for.
2) To the mods: Please tell me if that's not really what you'd like to see around here and I'll understand

Also, of course I wouldn't want to start anything like that during the Gameroom Anniversary time, it would take some time to develop anyway.

So just tell me what you think!
