New Game Concept

[TetNak]

Hey all --

I'm thinking about introducing a hybrid game.

This would consist of PbP, Virtual Tabletop and Real Time Text.

I don't have a theme in mind off of my head for the moment, but am willing to probably go different directions depending on who wants to play.

Here are the general rules.

1. You would have to be available 1 or 2 times a month for a Virtual Tabletop session.
2. You would have to be available 1 or 2 times a month for a Real Time Text session.
3. You would have a 2-day posting rule as normal.

Who would be interested in something like this? What do you want to play if so?

I wish I had time for this. But if the concept is too good to pass by, I might make some arrangements.

Is the Real Time Text session basically the same as the Virtual Tabletop, just without the video and audio? Or is that something here on the forums?

Same as Scout89. I shouldn't join any new games because I think I'm at/over my limit now. But if it's a great fit for me, then I might have to make time for it.

Correct.

This is the sort of RP we did on the MUSH. I still have the Akarian Dawn MUSH up, and I might have us log in there to do it. It is pretty simple. This probably wouldn't start until February. I want to get my ducks in a row before then, and I want to get a bit of a handle on this crazy baby stuff. Still working on very little sleep.

Here are system I would consider off the top of my head. This list isn't in any sort of order at this point.

Chronicle (ASOIAF) *****
FFG Star Wars (If Star Wars) ***
The One Ring (If the One Ring) ***
GURPS 4E ***
D&D 5E *
Storyteller (World of Darkness) ***
Keltia/Yggdrassil ****
Eclipse Phase ****
Codex (BSG, Serenity) **
Cyberpunk 2020 *
Qin **
Victoriana *
Call of Cthulu **
Warhammer 40k, 1E ****
Warhammer Fantasy 3E *
L5R 4E *****
7th Sea **
Kuro *
Shadowrun *

I know this is very broad, and there may be more potential systems/themes I would go with. There could be more that I didn't think of or you suggest. The * are how well I know the systems from 1-5.

You could just do the real time text here. Rapid fire posting but the Mush could work too just log it and repost it.

What is Mush?

[TetNak]

They were Real Time text based games back in the day. I'll post the address here later today.

[Shurijo]

What is Mush?

MMORPGs before there were graphics. Think text graphics (using text characters, like "@" and "_" to draw maps) and text commands (like "move north" or "take sword") in a IRC/Chatroom like world.

I think I probably don't have time for it. Have to really pick and choose what I do these days in order to protect the game I GM and don't get overwhelmed. However, I'll be following this thread with great interest!

Every once in awhile I miss the ol' MUSH
