I've recently watched some videos of people playing through the old school make-your-own-adventure books. You would read though the story and when given a choice, you would flip to the appropriate point of the book to continue.  The system it used was really simple, usually just strength and luck as stats and then gold and items to use.  It's more about decision making and the story. I've always liked that part the most about RPs, the decision making process.  Combat can often be clunky and turns it too much into overthinking and unrealistic combat.

 

Would anyone be interest in Skype roleplaying? It would be really short sessions, maybe an hour or so at most.  There would be no in depth character creations or complex stats. Just a single D20 that you would be told when to roll, but mostly gameplay would be what decisions you make and how you interact with everyone else. I have no specific setting in mind, probably just general fantasy because it's easy to create a world for. Anyone interestd?

I was thinking Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, again only for an hour or so. Would rather this be a frequent short gatherings rather than long ones than drain us all.

We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further!

There's actually a lot of online dice rollers, Kasper.

Actually, a friend once showed me this one site that allows the players and DM to interact as if they were playing in person- with the option for the DM to upload a map the players can see (which can be updated through the game) as well as for the players to roll dice that the DM can see and a dozen other things. I could try to find it if you're interested in using something like that, Fox.

Otherwise, you guys could use something like this.

 

Also, Streets, DnD would be the opposite of what Fox is doing here. He wants to run a low maintenance game, not read a ton of rules and have everyone write out a three page character sheet. :P

Old flash signature has been revived for nostalgic purposes. Too bad RpgWizard hasn't been revived. :\

I'll have to ask the dude. I've been tempted to use it for Scion, especially the Shango game.

Oddly enough the lab project I did today for a CS class was to make an RPG battle mechanic game. Generates a wizard and fighter then has them fight. The dice rolling element was considered so trivial that it was given to us already programmed. I have no doubt Kasper could make a wonderful dice roller with all the hookers and blackjack he wants.

I am very much interested in the system you described, kaye. If you find out what it is tell me. Being able to show a map or images would be great since this would largley be about exploration. Showing you where you are would be great.

Since so many people have shown interest I think it's time to start planning. I am available after 7pm on Friday and after 3pm on Saturday and Sunday, Mountain time for all. Let me know when you guys would/want to do this and we'll try to cast a net that catches as many people as possible.

Friday night works best for me. Saturday may work, and Sunday is a really big "maaaybe but probably not."
