After reading a thread that got a bit carried away in off-topic and people stared discussing how they used to battle dragons in PnP i kind of got this idea: What if we started a text-based BG game here in the forums? I know it's not a true equivalent of a PnP game (i haven't played PnP by the way, which is a loss) but it could still be fun! I've played a text-based game online in the Wheel of Time universe, and it was grand
We were originally a party of four, but many joined us soon after, including villains that made our lives miserable :P What we did was every char posts an "act" - a further development to the story from his POV, and with the agreement apart from killing any PC-s without asking in a PM first, everything was ok. We didn't have a DM figure, but we didn't need one i guess..
So what i'm suggesting now, is that we do something along those lines here, starting in the Irenicus dungeon (or even Candlekeep! ), a party of six (or more
) and someone to act as a DM (i could think of a few names already
). Now we could finally see just how hard it is to thwart a certain venerable red if one of the more experienced posters here controlled it.
What i don't know is is such a thing ok with the rules the admin set up (Fable could enlighten me here), with anyone holding the rights to the BG2 games, or will any of you guys find it interesting and worth their time..
