Its a forum for playing games much like we do here.

But we already have here...
Yeah and this place rocks the socks of dinosaurs.
However we have a player base of about 5 and clan membership is a must.

Wait its empty!
Yeah thats kind've why I posted this here.
Everybody who posts here also runs a cool forum game.
So I would be grateful if you:
A)Started games on it.
B)Advertised it to your friends

[malpercio13]

Well I have some friends who like roleplaying who might be willing to check out the site and I'll join of course.

[Willy DeWulfe]

So this is sort of the first step in getting a fully functional premium play by post site up and running, right?

I kinda just made that up to sound cool, but whatever. I'll make a real account tomorrow and see what I can help with.

[Rykerboy]

I'll sign up tomorrow and send it to people.

Somebody called faceless on the minecraft forums posted this:

I've always wanted to make/play a game about deception. I discovered Werewolf, which is a great example of it. However it's best played on IRC, I do have a bot which can control the game, but it's not a forum game.

I also wanted to make a dungeon crawler game where the players didn't know the other players location, but they could move N/E/S/W and their locations would be tracked by me. When they move they get helpful hints and stuff ie, if they're stood in a room they get the dimensions of the room like so:

The room you have entered is small, it stretches out just 2 metres infront of you and 1 metre either side of you (room dimensions 3x3).
In the room there is an open chest to the [[N2][E0][S0][W1]].
You may move N/E/S/W


Or other informations like this:
The corridor stretches farther than you can see. Ahead there is a corner bending [N] and a little further than that there is a small shadowy figure. The sandy floor is stained red, the trail follows to the [E].
You can move x/E/x/W


The "best played" number would vary on the map size. I probably wouldn't take less that 6 or more than 16 though.
I would probably update the game twice per day. Or as often as I can (if everyone does their moves). I live in the UK so my times would be GMT based.
I would update every 10am (except tuesdays) and 6pm (earlier on saturdays) and sometimes not at all on sundays, varies.

I think we are about to have our first game of the forum!

[dhk63]

Yay, a custom title and a whole lot of karma!

I'd be willing to GM a game on there later. (Evolution game would still come first)

I posted a forum version of a game I am currently programming, I am waiting to see if anyone will play before I post the rest of the rules and the character template...

Here's the post...

Kyra is a complex fantasy RPG based on exploration...

It actually is taken directly out of a game I'm currently programming. It's been modified slightly to become a forum game, but, I am fairly sure it will still work...

Features:
Seven different governing skills.
Ten types of magic.
Ten types of weapon skills.
A lot of minor skills. (More than fifty)
A karma system called Aura.
A perk system. (Think Fallout)
A gigantic map. (Several countries)

Interested? Then tell me below to let me see if I should post the game...

Overview of the seven governing skills,
Strength governs melee skills.
Endurance governs construction and things like riding, climbing, and swimming, plus endurance governs the amount of hits you can take.
Dexterity governs ranged weaponry, sneaking, and hunting skills.
Charisma governs talking skills like bartering or deception.
Intelligence governs a huge variety of skills such as cooking, first aid, and cartography.
Wisdom governs your mana and magic skills.
Logic governs the amount of minor skill points you get per level.
Luck governs gambling skills and the amount of loot you find.

Wait. Your turning it into a real game? I might join then.
