Just wondering if spreadsheet games are allowed. They're basically games where you use a spreadsheet file as a map, and also to keep track of stats etc.

@Treehee I see no reason why not. I don't know where you'd place them, do you have an example? It's sounding like a tabletop like game, but I'm not sure since it doesn't sound like you're gonna use rolls or anything?

@Odin An example would be war of the worlds (rpg from another website), where each player controls a species/nation that fight in a war. Rhe spreadsheet kind of functioned like a civ/risk board, and after each round the gm would add narrate the events that happened in the previous rounds.

sounds like it could easily fit in the nations RPG section.

I'd make a joke about how you shouldn't send him to us because why would anyone want to do more office work. But then again it'll probably be dead in three days.

Oh, I think that sounds more like a more serious forum game than an actual roleplay-style that we have here. It'd probably be nation roleplay (but that's suicide for your RP) so I'd suggest placing it in casual or advanced.

@Treehee that board receives very little activity and what little activity it does receive is usually killed off by inactive players that suddenly disappear.
