Title: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Little Wolf on May 03 2005, 08:04 am
So... who would volunteer to moderate and manage the forum? Experience is what we're mainly looking for.  :)

I wouldn't mind helping with the development of the main story, and possibly moderating a bit. I've run a few places in the past (though I have a terrible record for sticking with things  :cry: ) However, I'll try to be a little more faithful here.

I'd be happy to help moderate and manage the forum, but I'm not sure I have the time to be the main person doing that. If somebody else took the leading role, I would be happy to assist them. Heck, if that doesn't work...I'll probably end up participating in your RP thingie as a player. ^^

As for experience, I'm currently running the story for Soul Society RP: http://s4.invisionfree.com/Bleach_RP/index.php?act=idx and I run the UESAT faction for Age of Defiance(though it hasn't gotten off the ground yet): http://s7.invisionfree.com/Age_of_Defiance/index.php?.

On both of those, I go by Yamato.

My Forum RPG style is a more Topic-ish approach though. But in vein of that I made lots of it.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Little Wolf on May 04 2005, 04:46 pm
I'm glad to see many volunteers... So, who makes the story? Where are the people who voted Yes in the poll? Guys, discuss what you want to see in the RP here! I thought you wanted one. I voted No there cos like I said I've never played on an RP before and I'm not sure if I'll be able to join the one we'll create here.. :heh:

Little Wolf - It depends on the story if it's a group effort or a single user apporach.

Is the approach a single RPG style?
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on May 05 2005, 02:29 am
Yeah, that would be good to know. I'm inclined to suggest something along the vein of SS, albeit without the stats. You know, you can run a sub-plot by yourself if you wish, or you can participate in the main plot that the moderators are running. Or both, if it comes to that.

So yeah, I'd suggest that it go that route, but whatever works.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Little Wolf on May 05 2005, 04:11 am
uh...honestly, I don't really know.. :sweatdrop:

It's up for you guys to decide... I'll wait for the others to reply.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Espo on May 05 2005, 06:42 am
Here is an idea.. you change the plot to a new one every month... so a new story starts every month. More intresting no?
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on May 05 2005, 02:17 pm
Eh, I'm not so sure. I mean, yeah, that does make it a bit easier to just jump in, but I'm not terribly fond of arbitrary deadlines. I would agree that it would be better to run shorter plots as opposed to longer plots, though.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 05 2005, 08:07 pm
It depends.

We can make a general RPG one then spawn EU series (that's what I did in one of my RP's).
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: AiKo on May 06 2005, 12:07 am
just a question: will there be OC's???
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Espo on May 06 2005, 01:52 am
If there were, you probably would have to make another forum...
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 06 2005, 07:27 pm
It really depends on the RP. Some may have OC's some are not. It depends on the RP.

For damage calculation, I can help.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Little Wolf on May 07 2005, 12:43 am
Like I said before, I'm a noob on this... what's an OC?  :sweatdrop:
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 07 2005, 12:45 am
Little Wolf - OC "Original Character"

A self made character made by the player.

Post by: Little Wolf on May 07 2005, 02:14 am
Oh! Now I get it... thanks. I'll keep that in mind when talking about RP stuff.

continue the discussions.. :D

In combat in terms of Forum RPG, the biggest challenge is damage resolution.

Fortunately I learned a thing or two about it.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on May 08 2005, 01:50 am
Hm...damage resolution? I usually just say "make it a badass fightscene and you'll make me happy". ^^;

So yeah, I bow to your experience in this area.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 08 2005, 03:01 pm
Well the basics also work (like a character pounding someone) but some wants damage numbers flying around.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on May 09 2005, 04:52 am
Ah, true. Well, whatever works. ^^
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 09 2005, 03:01 pm
Hmm... I'm wondering on the story materials needed to start.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Xiao Ying on May 09 2005, 09:02 pm
Are there any characters yet? o_O

(I'm back from the dead! yaay!)
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on May 10 2005, 05:01 am
Well, not really. ^^;

The basics kinda need to be laid down before we can start rolling up OCs or assigning TRC characters to people and such. ^^
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Xiao Ying on May 10 2005, 02:38 pm
I see.. it must be a little hard planning on role playing.. XD
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 10 2005, 08:11 pm
Well the group should combine all knowledge.

It's a way to run a Table RPG. It works well on Forum RPG.

Post by: Okamirei on May 11 2005, 12:54 pm
should we put up a signup sheet or something?

I dunno, I only suggested the RPG idea, I'm still a little noob in RPG-ing :sweatdrop:
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on May 11 2005, 02:21 pm
Signup sheet. Can be okay, but it should be accessible to everyone.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Okamirei on May 23 2005, 02:34 am
so when should we start?  :greengrin:

what's rpg?
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: D.J.P on May 23 2005, 05:58 pm
Role-Playing Game

Bascially, you take on the role of a character in game.

Post by: Robin Sena on May 24 2005, 08:20 pm
I was wondering when can we can't so I can write up data and formulas.

Post by: Syaokura on June 07 2005, 05:39 am
Question: Are the mods already chosen for the RPG forum? Just wondering.

I like the idea of a sign-up sheet, and yeah it should be accesible for everyone. How about a separate subforum for OOC Discussions (for creating an RPG and getting people to join and such) and then one for the RPGs themselves (CCS and Tsubasa included) and another one for the Register Characters list.
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on June 07 2005, 10:54 am
As far as I know...this just never got going. As I have said before, I'd be happy to help mod. ^^
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: D.J.P on June 07 2005, 01:40 pm
If this topic is still here then its still on the drawing board.

Little Wolf is busy with his studies at the moment, but will return soon we hope :D
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Little Wolf on June 08 2005, 04:15 am
Yeah..what SLi said.  :sweatdrop:
I'll be back fourth week of June. In the meantime, I think we should choose a mod now. SLi? Would you do the honors of selecting..two?  :keke:
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Syaokura on June 08 2005, 05:27 am
I would like to mod the place if you like. =3 I had experiences with RPGing before. xD
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: D.J.P on June 08 2005, 07:59 am
Mod for the RPG Forum? sure :D
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Shinigami Zero on June 08 2005, 11:24 am
Yeah, still available to help mod the RPG forum. >_>
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Okamirei on June 09 2005, 01:32 pm
I would like to mod...but I'm still a newbie at RPGs  :sweatdrop: *cough*
Title: Re: RPG forum - discuss it here!
Post by: Robin Sena on June 09 2005, 08:22 pm
Hmm... well it depends on the things you guys want to do.

I can help.
