Forum Games and Roleplaying Brainstorming Thread
« on: June 01, 2011, 09:27:51 pm »

Like the RTD one, but with forum games and roleplaying. Post your ideas or ask for help with some here.

Ok, I got an idea. It's a choose-your-own about this one guy who makes an RP idea thread. Do you know what my first action for him to do is? To go fuck himself.

Haha, so impossibly mean and unwarranted sick burns aside, I want to make some choose your own story game again, but I want some sort of illustrations to go with it. That's sort of a problem though because I am a fucking horrible artist.

This, or just more stories with pictures, I've always considered them to be a bonus. That and I too can't draw.

i think i want to make my algodooarf adventure a succession game(i always eventually lose interest in this stuff and gming becomes somewhat of a chore), that means i would make the assets and all you'd have to do would be to drag them around.

I think it would be fun to do a forum game based around escaping from The Cube.

Gentlemen, BEHOLD! I have made a Forum Games Brainstorming thread, but in retrospect I ask why...

coming up with a bazilion seting and story ideas is trivial, the problem is that for the vast mayority of them you cant get the comunity to play them properly.

I do have to admit though that the "YOU ARE A" threads make me want to cry. There's far too many of them, and most of the responses are so short >_>.

I dislike them too. Sometimes it's the audience, sometimes the GM. I did get a few fun GMing experiences, though.

Yeah, most of them last 4 pages or so then die off. We need more forum games where people make up a ruleset for an actual game.

Maybe there should be a ratings system rated in silliness. Problem Sleuth would be S-5 (Very Very Very Silly.) and a game about a small child trying to drag himself towards a tower after getting his legs blown off by a bomb would be S-X5 (Very Very Very Serious.)

Trying out something different with Alt. Check it out.

Always striving for innovation. And Stabbing you with short sharp things when your not looking. Thats my style.

 I know what we need. we need an actually good RP game to draw in people. We need a story with ART and a respectable storyline. I have about 3 unfinished stories in my reserve that I could convert to a Choose-your-own-story, but I don't have the art for it to be any decent. Does anyone here both know how to do art and have a story in mind?

I suck at art, to be honest.

Anyway, what do we need to change from our usual Role-play stuff?

I have quite a few great stories in my mind. Don't think i've told anyone about this before, but I mostly fill any time to kill with creating and enhancing stories.

I have been doing ever since I was 6. 11 years later, I am very good at it.
