   I am trying to come up with a wishlist for the RP section of V2.
   
   Like creation of multiple characters so you can actually post as your character instead of your main site name.
   Dice roller?
   XP system?
   etc. etc.
   
   I still want to keep it freeform but also want to make it more RP friendly.
   
   Perhaps using Moon's game system as the core? Hmmmm.

   Dice roller- no. They never work properly, and they're just a gimmick for lazy players who don't want to go out and buy dice.
   
   XP system? I dunno.
   
   Moon's system is good, but I prefer non-system. It just simplifies things. I came in here all White Wolfed up, there are a few D20ers, and folks like Shadow and Adel haven't even actually dice-rolled before. Should we really make them learn a whole new system?

   If it's just an option, it might be an idea Captain - especially if it TEACHES us to dice roleplay.
   
   It would be cool if there were a separate section of roleplaying (like the freeform, then moderated) Where there are only a set 5 or so GMs who start threads, perhaps in a set world, and the other players are able to make 3 characters, which are stored in some database or other, out of a selection like Ranger mage fighter Thief etc.... Those characters are the only characters that the owners can play in this section, but they can be used across Roleplays (A character can only be active in one roleplay at a time). Those characters gain experience and level up accordingly, gaining skills which can be chosen based on the character class they have and such. They CAN die, however, and the death is the decision of the GM, who will cross the character off if he expires. If a character is expired he is deleted, and the player can start a new character from level 1.
   
   I know this will probably never come to fruition, but It's alright for a little shadow to dream :'(

   There are a number of good die rollers around. I like the one at www.rpol.net ( http://www.rpol.net/usermodules/diceroller.cgi?gi=210&gn=Slayer's+Dreams+A+Buffy+the+Vamp+Slayer+Game&date=1092723244 Yep this link needs cut and paste) But I could be biased. Die rollers allow fair games that use table top rules.
   
   The point of roleplays is to have a variety. While I am flattered that StoryPath could be "the official system", any number of systems could be played; to having no system (Community story writing). I don't like no system games, but that is just a stody old man griping about the way this little kids play. Though posting up a cleaned up version of StoryPath for "all to use" as an example system is perfectly fine.
   
   I like moderated games. Unmoderated games are simply not supportable in our population, they need someone pushing things along. (Not that moderated games are doing much better).
   
   Games should have sign up sheets that must be filled out before they can go. The person would have to submit a story summary/ background (Ariath is good at this), and give a number of slots. The game does not fly if there are not enough people to play it. Thus there will be a lot of abandoned submission requests (that will be deleted every six months or so), instead of one to five posts of a game that goes no where.
