EOI - Ozformers RPG
Hi all,
I'd like to get an idea of how many members here would like to participate in a Play-by-Post, text-based RPG on this board. If I can get at least two other people interested (8 to 10 is ideal), I can set one up in the Creative section of the board, provided the admin is ok with it. If not, it's no problem.
If you don't know what a text based RPG is, or if you're unsure about how to play, let me assure you that it is really quite easy once you get the hang of it, and a lot of fun! I'll be happy to help you throughout the whole process, from creating your character profiles, right through to the way you play your characters and lay out your posts.
We can set one up as simple or as complex as you like. That is, it can include a points system and technical battles along with the main story, or we can just start with text based play only.
We'll only need one main RPG thread, which I'll create later, so it won't dominate the board. In the meantime, we can use this thread to post our character tech specs & profiles, story ideas, and any other questions or suggestions.
What's the main requirement to be a successful RPGer? Well, the main thing is the ability to use correct grammar and sentence structure so that your posts are easily legible! It also helps to be able to follow the RPG rules and guidelines, and post regularly. A few times a week minimum would be ideal. Your posts can be as long or as short as you like, though they should be at least one paragraph in length. You don't have to worry about keeping score for your characters or anything like that, as the GM (myself) will do that for you.
So, if you would like me to set up an RPG for this forum and you'd like to have a go, then let me know by posting in this thread.
If you're new to RPGing I recommend that you start with only one character. Then as you get more into it, you can select up to five. It's up to you, but remember, the more characters you want to play, the more responsibility you will be taking on and the more other players will be relying on you.
I will be playing my favorites (Megatron, Shockwave, Starscream, Soundwave, Jazz), but any and all other characters are available, canon or OC, from any era, continuity or series. First person to post and claim a character that has not already been taken will have first rights to play that character.
Also, if you have any ideas for a plot or storyline that you would like to see incorporated into the RPG, let me know! I will then collate them all into a coherent script that will set the scene for the RPG.
If you have any questions at all, please ask.
