RP Thread

Yah, sounds like a custom game may be best for this. I could theoretically add code to automatically accept any players who join this game, and any characters they submit.

so in other words, this will work like a neighborhood in RIFTS

And you know there was a book I heard about that had a whole bunch of short stories, but they were all related because of the tavern. It was like a multidimensional tavern where these different fantasy worlds could walk through this tavern door and they were all in the same building. When they left, they all went to their respective worlds. Think of a bag of holding but the pocket dimension its connected to is connected to other openings. So this could be a fun idea for everyone to come in chat and go back to their respective worlds.

would be cool if we were to in character RP some of our favorite characters from the games we're in. kind of like a cross dimensional meet and greet

I wrote a blog post once about mashing systems together with no regard for stuff. Essentially, it could be up to the GM to adjudicate based upon respective probabilities of the systems in opposition. You would need a GM with a head for probability distributions and an understanding of the systems.

Multiple systems may be overly ambitious. What if we started off with one thread for D&D 5e since that seems to be the predominant system at the moment? I understand it is RP only, but done rolling may be necessary in order to add a random element to encounters/interactions.

This is sounding more and more awesome every time I read more on this idea. I'm totally in when it happens.

Honestly it doesn't sound like we'd actually need a system for this, just the ability to have a forum in which any character sheet was allowed. Then you just post silliness from any of your characters. I can't imagine trying to workout "GAMEPLAY" would be much fun (but I could always be wrong).

well, what are we going to do when there's a bar fight?

We'll use the oldest system.

Rock-Paper-Scissors.

For sci-fi universe character's it's Rock, Datapad, Vibro-Knife.

For fantasy it is Rock, Parchment, Dagger.

for star wars, it's both!

We roll d3's 1 is rock, 2 is paper, 3 is scissors. (Or the appropriate equivalent.)

7th Sea: Cannonball, Parchment, Rapier.
Numenera: Ancient super-powered technology that's shaped like a rock, Ancient super-powered technology that kind of functions like paper, Ancient super-powered technology that cuts things as an afterthought.

We could do this all day.

dudes.. maybe THIS is the mega RP thread and we've been RPing all along......?

You mean that you're RPing as people who are interested in opening up an RP thread?

How do I know PhantomNimbus hasn't been my character all along!? *existential crisis*

O_o

Inception RPG: Dream shaped like a rock, Dream shaped like paper, Dream shaped like scissors, Top that never stops spinning

or maybe we've wasted all this time looking to roleplay with others, when the roleplaying was really inside us all along...

I am Roleplay. *stands up inspirationally*
