View Full Version : RPG Rules & Off-Topic Discussions

This is the thread for all off topic discussion and questions about what is going on in the RPG threads.

There are currently two RPG threads active:

Muder-Mystery RPG (http://www.discussanything.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17500)

Fantasy RPG (http://www.discussanything.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=17660)

-----------------------------------------------

First off, rules:
1) No player can speak, react, or move for another player
2) No player can kill another player. Players may kill themselves, allow themselves to die, or leave the scene, but that's all. *
3) No user can control more than one character.
4) Your character must react to preceding actions involving them, i.e. if you're shot you must react, even if you regenerate the wound.
5) In a non-fantasy thread, do not introduce fantastic characters. This thread is a reality-based murder-mystery, no magical creatures, powers, et cetera. Play in the world the thread-starter creates. Exceptions for reality-based threads include psychics, clairvoyants, etc., but only because you can find those on Hollywood Blvd.

* The thread starter (in this case Stage Monster) is the only player in the story who can kill other characters without their consent. It's essentially a "ban" from the thread, and will only happen after warnings, and only if the character detracts from the story instead of adding to it.

True, but normaly in an RPG like this if you make refurance to something (especialy when he heard me yelling) it normaly means the thing in question. Argueing Semantics is fun:D (if you point out my poor spelling you going to taste frying pan)

New rule: Any blank left in a storyline of a character may be filled in by any active user who can realistically place him/herself into a place where it would logically be answered.

Example: ÆSiR didn't say what happened to him when he faced off against the elemental in the fantasy RPG thread, so I filled in the blank myself when my character got there and was able to look at his character.

And Rayne, it doesn't matter if you know what you're doing or not. So long as it makes sense to you, and it follows the rules, it'll be fine. Make up your powers as you go along and you'll still be well within the limits. If you have any questions, tho, feel free to PM or IM myself or TheGreatMonkey.

A friend of mine pointed something out to me about the Murder-Mystery RPG thread, and I realized that it's become like a Pinter play.

How odd.

Okay, since nobody has taken over the part of the Elemental, and for many of the charactors involved in RPG are going to hit a dead end, The part of the Elemental is now a NPC (non player charactor), in other words, any player involved in the confrontation can move for him, alowing us to move on with the RPG, if anybody decides they want to take the part PM me, and I'll let you take over.

okay, common guys, I can't be the only one to post in the Fantasy RPG.

Sorry I'm stuck. Monk boy is going to leave you guys to melt and go have another drink.
I tried to drag your asses from the fray so that we could end up teaming up to go on an adventure meeting new and interesting people in order to finally end the Elemental God. However your going and trying to kill it right away :)

I cannot stress how important it is in RPGs to READ THE POSTS CAREFULLY!!!

Take note of each detail, each character movement, who's in front of whom, who has what in their hands and on their person, and above all WHAT THEY'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF DOING!

TGM, NoDoz, and ÆSiR have all neglected different details in the Fantasy RPG thread, and it's screwed with the story. Pay attention to your posts, people!

I would like to point out that Zach is an idiot:D

Monster

I could report that post, you know....schmuck.

But what I wanted to say was that everybody in the RPGs is doing a really good job of involving the other characters in the storyline and not creating individual sub-storylines. Good job, folks.

Alrighty boys and girls lets not let the RPG's die. We still need somebody to play the elemental in the Fantasy RPG. and the Murder Mystery RPG just needs charactors in general.

Aesir theres one little problem with you post, I'm not driving a shuttle I'm driving a car.

Does it matter? He just died. Unless he chooses to revive his character, he now has the option of creating a totally new character CLOSER TO THE TRANSPORT SHUTTLE should he so desire...

Just out of curiousity, NoDoz, what exactly have you enabled your character to do? I may be alone here, but it seems as tho there's no set rules that you're running by, and one of the rules of the thread was a limitation of powers...

Monster

With Rayne's departure for an indetermined length, NoDoz, it may behoove you to move on independently. When she returns, should she choose to return to this thread, she can catch up or create a new character. Meanby, don't get yourself trapped.



That is all.
