Cobra 1:
i see, not much happending here. i read the other topics.
and it seem's there's not enough RP players here, that's probably the biggest reason for lack of action going on.
though some one brung up not enough literate player's!
I think alot of people here are literate, though im sure you ment, descriptive players, which sucks when no one is very descriptive during a play, or story for that matter.

I remember one play, that i was involed in, it crashed pretty fast, during it, but it lasted quite awhile. i'ed say maybe 2-3 pages?

that was pretty fun, so in the hopes to spark interest in those who are not interested right now. I decided to look up diffrent things, like the Big Eye's Small Mouth, RPG book's. useing the tri-stat system.
and found this http://www.technofetish.net/index.html it's a BESM Character generator, not sure if it comes with the rules to the Tri-stat System or not. but if not, thats fine. cause there's always other things.

Such, as Writer's, who's made a great story for them selves and shared it in wonderland, or simply made it for wonderland,and wouldn't mind lending that story to a future roleplay.

as for those who like stats, you can always use an online dice roller, but for something like that, it would need to be contorled by a Mod, or something both players(or how ever many) can see.
things like this is all i can find. http://javascript.internet.com/games/dice-roller.html

which is fun to just mess with anyway.

so instead of me starting a Roleplay now, (which i don't have anything in particular in mind anyway) i figured, i'ed post this (in relation to Roleplay)and get everyone else talking about what can make a good roleplay, and what dosen't.

Stats vs no stats
Pre made story vs make it up as we go
Mod interaction vs no Mod Interaction
geting Artists/writers to help flesh out RP's in the future.(character desgins, locations, storys, background information)
this Topic can be a creative let out for others who don't even like RP's.

the main problem is Time of course, and lack of player's.
but the more people there is, more should follow.

plus i think one thing, is, the genra's seem to be either

Medevil Clasic/fantasy
Anime made up/based on series
or sci-fi

it's been awhile since i've been here, so i can't say if other Genra's have been tryed(have to read the past topics) but there's quite a few other then those 3 above. (though i know everyone know's that)

Action/drama
Action/comedy

Horror(serial killers)/horror-fantasy (vampires)

War/horror)imagien an actual war, between werewolves, and vampire's, not the "secret" war's you always see)

and an oddball one, imagien a sport RP ? lol if anyone wants to do that one and figures out how. i'll gladly join in, despite not caring much for sports.

of course there's other genra's. and even if no one play's the rp, or likes them, if someone has an idea can suggest some theme/story to play.


anyway, if none of that or anyone else's idea's spark interests. you can always post a topic, that reads "OBSCENE MATERIAL" you'll at least get alot of view's lol.

I have an idea for running a forum based RP. I just wrote up some reasons that I think they don't run well. I posted them in another thread. I have some rules for running short "quests" in the forums that are quite duable. I need to find a victim, or rather a single person, interested in running a short test. Too bad I'm too tired right now from the other post, or I'd try it out tonight. Maybe sometime this week...
