Quick Question

Post by addictive » Thu Jun 15, 2006 1:02 pm

Excuse me for asking, I should probably feel a little ashamed asking this but, What is Alex's Role-playing Game?
Find Me, A poem by Chris Dominowski.

If I am lost, and you do not care, will the search ever be fair?
Why am I here? What should I do?
The answer to this, I once knew.
Why should I be found if I always must hide?
I have tried so hard, my soul has died.
Over the years, In fear I have drowned. It is finally clear; I cannot be found.

Human, a poem by Chris dominowski

I wear sunglasses at night, but I carry a flashlight.
I turn from the flame, but stare at the ashes.
I walk into the woods, and never touch the trail.
I always look at my calander, but do not care what day it is.
I am the mixture of light and darkness; I am human.

Ah, yes...

That would be an online RPG which I run.  The premise is simple.  A group of members roleplay as Simpsons characters and I lead them through an adventure.  Kinda like D&D.

However, it is currently on hold.  I am looking to get it up and running again, but that may take a while still.

Feels kinda pointless since I don't actually do stuff at Gaia, so I'm putting it here.

I see there is a board on it. What an excellent idea! I can't wait! Say, where did you get the software to make the MMORPG?

No software, just your average forum (which gkscotty was kind enough to set up for me).  It's text-based you see. :)


And I'd hardly describe it as an MMORPG.  Only eleven people are doing the roleplay.  And no more.

Well, then it's just a MORPG. How can forum software be used to make a game? That is really weird.

It's not a game in the sense you're probably thinking of.  On the surface, it looks like a forum, but rules are different.  Different threads might represent different characters or locations.

For example, let's say someone was roleplaying... Lisa.  She would have a thread dedicated to her to post in.  She wouldn't be allowed to post in other threads as she would have nothing to do with those threads.

The Game Master, or GM, would post in her thread to tell her what was happening in her surroundings.  Lisa would then post her reactions to her surroundings and/or do something, and the GM would post the result of her actions and anything else that may happen.  And so on.


Like I said, it's basically D&D, only online and Simpsons-themed.

Oh, yeah, I wasn't on the same page, so to say. But, still, sounds cool.
