RP Play Style: "Epics 'n Awesomes"

[Alamantus]

Alright, so I have decided to move this post YET AGAIN to the Articles & Guides forum. Go check out the handbook over there and learn how to play: http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75957/posts/ooc

Original Post

I posted this in another forum before realizing that this is probably the right place to post it! Sorry about that /tabletop! A while back, I made rules for a style of play I called "Epics 'n Awesomes". Basically, it's a dice-controlled shared storytelling roleplay experience, where the roll of the dice directly influences how your attempts to do things in-game come out without the complicated rules of D&D and other "serious" tabletop RPGs. I'll post a link to the rules where they're written on the dead forum if you'd like to see what I had in mind: Old Epics 'n Awesomes "handbook" It's pretty well thought-out, and it makes for some pretty fun game sessions! I'm just wondering if anyone here would be interested in seeing this style of gameplay appearing in this forum. Let me know what you think! If there's any interest, I'll copy the rules over here and revise them for this forum so we can start a game together. :)

Yes! This is the kinda thing I'm interested in. Read the handbook and everything. Count me in.

Sweet! That's awesome to know, thanks! I'll write up an EnA RP when some of my current RPs slow down and I transfer the rules over here.

[gojidorah]

Alright, sounds good!

[Alamantus]

Alrighty! The original post has been modified and you can even follow the clearly-defined rules to make your own EnA style RP if you want! Let me know if you (or anyone else) has any questions!

[gojidorah]

Will do!

Ever since you posted about this format in one of my threads I've been wanting to try it. I'm in, whenever you start to make it. Do you have a plan for plot yet?

Haha, nice! I'm glad you're interested! :D The way it's set up, it's supposed to work with any plot, actually. I do have a few story starters from years ago, but they'll probably need to be revised... Anyway, I put up an interest check for one of my old ones, but haven't gotten any replies, probably because I haven't updated it at all. :P

You should ask an Admin to move this to the Guides section. You'll find more people looking for a Guide there. This is more for people making small talk on RP styles and such.

I actually already have asked, and Mahz said they can't move topics yet. Hopefully soon, but I'm not sure how high it is on his priority list. The best I can do is make a new topic there and drop a link to the new post instead...which is an option, but this is already the second post I've made for this and I'd prefer not to make a third. :P

[Gwazi Magnum]

You could just copy it over, and then ask Mahz to close/lock this one. Or simply wait until Mahz does have the ability to, and then poke/nag him about it.

[Alamantus]

Yeah, maybe I'll just put the original post back up here and make the new post be the handbook... I'll just need to find where I put the links originally so I can update them. :P EDIT: Done. The first post has been edited. Go bookmark/subscribe to the handbook post if you don't want to lose it!
