Are you willing?

I think forum games are stupid.

Legends: Forum Play Etiquette

Post by Liquidprism »

If you sign up for an adventure be prepared to post at least two times a week. A moderator should be prepared to get on the threads they are responsible for probably about once a day, and check the progress of the adventure. They should respond promptly to questions, and actions, and help maintain steady play.

Out of character posts can be made as needed, and, conversations can happen as often as the players want, but actions are a bit more restricted. No player should post consecutive actions, without waiting for responses from the other characters involved in the situation. This makes it imperative that each player try to visit these threads on a regular basis. If a player begins letting to much time elapse between posts the adventure's moderator may decide to take them out of the adventure, or take the character over as an NPC.

I think the best way to handle dice is to make the moderator responsible for all die rolls. The moderator is also gonna have to keep track of shots.

All the players are responsible for are descriptive actions/responses, and timely posting.

Basically, most of this is common sense to try and mitigate confusion. Most of you guys have probably played a forum based RPG, and should know what we're trying to do here. If I missed something you think is relevant please feel free to add it. If you think one of these suggestions will cause problems please let me know. This is all open for discussion, and is pretty basic. All I really want is for the players participating to keep up with the game, be responsible, post often enough to keep the game going, and to pay attention to what is happening.

These games will be at a slower rate of progress, since players are only required to post twice a week. So having multiple characters participating in multiple adventures will probably not be to hard to maintain (if a person wishes to do so).

Well that's all I've got for now. Stuff will probably be added to this later, so keep an eye on it.

My bad, I actually meant for the original question to be an option. Its fixed now. Although, I do wonder if the mistake was portentous.

And yes, I am volunteering as a moderator. However, that doesn't mean that other people can't also run adventures of their own, using the same general guidelines. it would actually be cool to have a bunch of 'legends' characters all out doing different things, at the same time. Such a dream is unrealistic with this group, but the thought is nice.

I am debating what I want to play, and with which character. Not sure who else is planning on playing, though we did talk about it at game last night.
