Garrulous Glaahk Pig Catapult Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 I really like the Avernum trilogy games, and I really like to roleplay on forums and stuff, and I thought it would be fun to play in an Avernum-based forum RP, but I don't see an RP section here, and I haven't found anything on Google, and I was wondering if someone could point me at a game of this nature?

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 We had a faction-based one a while back, but it died shortly before the forums went down for the upgrade. As for now, I'd hold off on any RPs. Legends of Divinity is going to be starting up again soon, and, in my experience, running more than one RP at a time will usually result in both/all RPs dying.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Ugh, don't try there. Shadowvale exudes an RP-killing aura. Eventually, another Avernum-based RP will crop up here, but not in a timely fashion. Maybe a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 To be perfectly blunt, it may be me that exudes that RP-killing aura. The Halfway Inn RP survived for quite some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Four pages, with what look like long intervals? Not really. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 In all fairness, the long intervals happened near the end of its life. Also, I'm not judging successfulness here based solely on length. If that was the case, the Vale RP was a raging success, and the Avernum RP revival was the biggest thing since sliced bread. And at any rate, Halfway Inn was considerably more successful than ILHL and The Assassins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 The Vale had it's moments. Fun while it lasted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Look, if somebody has a GOOD idea for an RP, one that people are willing to spend an hour or so of their time on, instead of other things the could be doing (such as studying, for instance), it'll work no matter where it is. EDIT: Palindromic post count! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 More than a few of Nioca's RP ideas were good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I'm not saying that they aren't. I'd have taken part in the one set in space if I'd had more time, or, rather, if I was willing to spend a big slice of my available free time on it.

Garrulous Glaahk Pig Catapult Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 *bump* Okay, anybody know/have suggestions on how I would go about organizing an RP here? I'm afraid I'm not entirely sure what to do in this context, or what style of play people are used to around here. So, I've got some questions before I get started: Do we use character sheets? Do we use stats, skillpoints, EXP, and/or levels? Do we use HP/SP? Do we just do it freeform like it was a book? Do we use a referee system? How do we deal with battles? Is there one DM who guides the story or is it more-or-less driven completely by the players, or is it something in between? What kinds of characters would ya'll be interested in playing, and what would motivate them? (this one is to help me come up with a plot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Lilith Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Previous RPs have been freeform with no DM or referee, and they've usually been run in the General forum. Also they usually die after a few months when a couple of plot-critical people suddenly get busy and then it falls off everyone's radar. Of course, if you want to try something new that you think will work better, there's nobody stopping you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Do want Arancaytar did and start an RP and then after the first post you just leave. It died waiting for Arancaytar to post. This really should be posted in General to guilt him some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
