RPGs, Roleplaying, and Other Such Matters
« on: August 26, 2013, 11:13:34 PM »
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.

Spoiler for Hidden:
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, 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.

Spoiler for Hidden:

Me, corey and a few others actually play Table top RPGS. Like 3.5, Deadlands, Pathfinder .etc I would do an online rp.

IRL it is so much better, my sisters fiancee DM's via skype to a group of friends in CT and he finds it difficult at times.

Neverwinter Nights 1 has a large RP community, for the most part. Hit me up on steam (coreybush11) if you want to drop ten bucks on it.

Well hell. I used to DM for a group in town. (Things got nasty when my girlfriend who was in the group turned into an ex and I was forced to be the better person and leave my seat for someone else.) I would 100% love to do a voice chat RP. :D I'll keep an eye out to see if this is actually gonna happen.
