Hey guys; I'm an aspiring author and as I began writing fiction I got into roleplaying on certain forums online, in video games, making YouTube videos, and playing games like RISK and D&D with an emphasis on roleplaying. Such is the way of things, roleplaying has always been a thing I've enjoyed, and have, in the past, tried to start up a D&D-type setup over Skype/TS/Vent with my friends. I've also tried to delve into game design but the ideas I have are either too large-scale or would only appeal to a niche, so I haven't presented those ideas to anyone. Therefore, I'm making this post...
...Which comes in two parts:
1) Do you guys have any good RPGs/D&D websites (or games)/etc. that would fit this? Perhaps a certain side of GMod or other mods that have a good community?
2) Would anyone be interested in starting a voice-chat RP? I've posted my idea for a general format under a spoiler for all interested.
There would be one God player - a dungeon-master, overlord, whatever the term may be - that controls the NPCs, "AI"-type units, as well as being in charge of using a RNG (or sites like roll dice online (http://roll-dice-online.com), which I got from a simple search, or some other way that'd make sure there was no cheating). This player would act as the dungeon-master, controlling the way the story/scenario runs and making sure everyone is playing to his/her rules and not breaking anyone's immersion by god-modding/power-gaming/meta-gaming and other fancy RP rules.
One scenario I have that isn't a D&D scenario is playing board games like RISK, Diplomacy, Civilization, and others that use countries instead of characters, only without the board. You would lead a country and make decisions on different things, grow into a more powerful nation, perhaps invade a few other countries, and would have to use diplomacy and war to sort out your problems instead of in character-based RPs where you can just attack someone and one of you will end up either dead, mortally wounded, or badly injured.
That got a bit ranty.
Anyway, point is that I would like to delve into this if someone else is as interested in RP and has a game they'd like to share with other people or perhaps has some free time to join a chat/voice-chat RP.
Hey look I have another side of me that isn't just playing TTT all day discofrog
