SCREEEEEECH!
The RPG screeches to a halt, because it seems that Duke and possibly everybody else has misinterpreted what I intended.
Basically I`m hoping to run it like a conventional tabletop roleplay session, with me as a Gamesmaster and everybody else as plyaers, with the sole difference being that instead of everybody guiding their own characters they work together to guide a pre-generated character, very much in the Final Fantasy style of RPG - so rather than writing your own segments of story it would be more like:
Sample player part:
"Can I see anybody about? If not I`ll enter the room and search the desk"
Then I`ll tell you what you see, if there is somebody in the room, and if not what you manage to achieve at the desk.
I`ll probably be logging on to check like 3/4 times each day so the story could hopefully move on quite fast, I`ll also be avoiding being pedantic in order to avoid the natural lag that will occur by us accessing at different times. It might also be the case that several people will have made different suggestions as to what to do next by the time I have logged in, as in:
GM (me):
"you kick your attacker away and he staggers back into a pile of crates, then turns and shoves his way through a door and races out into the alleyway behind"
PlayerA:
"I`ll quickly run after him, I don`t want him to get away"
PlayerB:
"but what if he`s armed, it seems really dangerous to run out into an alleyway when he could be waiting to blow your head off"
PlayerC:
"yeah, I think we should at least check to see if he`s about to ambush us before we go after him"
And then I log on and will have to do my best to unravel the various ideas and keep everybody happy. In the above case I`d probably have you steal a quick look around the corner, then set off after him.
I`ll also ignore stupid ideas like:
PlayerD:
"I`ll pull all my clothes off and run screaming down the street"
Unless, of course, running naked down the street is a reasonable response to the problem at hand.
Hoepfully that should clear things up a little, and be a little more to people like Spidey`s liking. And hopefully Dukey won`t be too disappointed.
