text role playing game in the forum

[neoteo]

A role-playing game (RPG; often roleplaying game) is a game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games.
A role-playing game rarely has winners or losers. That makes role-playing games fundamentally different from board games, card games, sports and most other types of games. Role-playing games are typically more collaborative and social than competitive.[1] A typical role-playing game unifies its participants into a single team, known as a "party", that plays as a group. Like serials or novel sequences,
these episodic games are often played in weekly sessions over a period
of months or even years, although some gamers prefer playing one
session games.
Role-playing games are a form of interactive and collaborative storytelling. Like novels or films, role-playing games appeal because they engage the imagination.
Interactivity is the crucial difference between role-playing games and
traditional fiction. Whereas a viewer of a television show is a passive
observer, a player at a roleplaying game makes choices that propel the
action. Such role-playing games extend an older tradition of storytelling games where a small party of friends collaborate to create a story.
While simple forms of roleplaying exist in traditional children's games
such as "cops and robbers", "cowboys and Indians" and "playing house",
role-playing games add a level of sophistication and persistence to
this basic idea. Instead, participants in a roleplaying game will
generate specific characters and an ongoing plot. A consistent system of rules and a more or less realistic campaign setting in games aids suspension of disbelief. The level of realism in games ranges from just enough internal consistency to set up a believable story or credible challenge to full-blown simulations of real-world processes.
Video games incorporating settings and game mechanics found in roleplaying games are referred to as computer role-playing games, or CRPGs. Due to the popularity of CRPGs, the terms "role-playing game" and "RPG" have both to some degree been co-opted
by the video gaming industry; as a result, traditional non-digital
pastimes of this sort are increasingly being referred to as "pen and
paper" or "tabletop" role-playing games, though neither pen and paper
nor a table are strictly necessary.

You mean like pretending that YOU are actually the person in the game?

[Akroma]

I just read your other post, the one where you left the address..I'm not sure if i follow what you mean. Explain more.

i like free style text rpg , basacly u can type what ever you want , u dont need to explain or have any logic at all.

but the idea is to make a story about guildwars , army of lightness and anything you want. normaly what hapands is you type in 3rd person when talking about you. like you are telling a story about someone else but its you ... well in case it would be one of your chars.
or you can use the first person as well , there are many ways to play with text rpgs.

as u can read there are no winners or losers , the only goal is for people interect , and build a story on the fly.

there is a high level of geekness/nerdness requirement for this , but it can be fun :p

[yosei]

on some websites i've someone usually starts with an intial paragraph starting the story, he/she then leaves a point for others to contribute like

starter: Yosei is a monk today he...

random person who decided to post: when to farm in cantha but...

and so on.

is tht wht ur talking about? If not ignore above statement =p

ECT.... ECT....

Right???????

[neoteo]

the text rpg that i played , we made huge posts sometimes , but that point is there , a group of people build a story.

i think small posts like that can be a lot of fun becose leave more room for others in the same action.

i also think that big posts come with time when more items for inspiration are on the table.
