  1. Spell it out for me.

    Ok, I sort of understood the reason/concept when it first started but...

    What is the ultimate goal of this. Give me a mission statement of some sort that gives me direction and instruction.

    Well, no one?


    I'll take care of this.

    After long considering of the many arguments, principles, and suggestions, and rejections we could amass, I think I have created a kind of sum of those things, a simple basic desire behind all these things, and I state it now here:

    ...the closest thing possible to an ordinary RPing tabletop session. On-line.

    Is it like these:
    GRIP: http://www.rpgrealms.com/cgi-bin/ca...knum=0000&h=&s=
    Open RPG: http://www.openrpg.com/
    WebRPG: http://www.webrpg.com/

    or completely different.

    Hmmm... possibly.

    But in no case I did want to download software for this. Not even payed or whatever. The chatroom would manage the things necessary, and what is necessary is still unclear.

    I don't need a fine character sheet. I don't want a detailed combat map.


    We can steal a few ideas from them, but...

    I think maybe if we found a minimal bulletin board we could use it for our own purposes since the chat concept is a no-go.

    Will take a look at some formats and see if we can modify or create our own.

    I am thinking guestbook style. Short and sweet and easily customizeable. It is basically a forum without all the extra.

    Next best thing to a chatroom. It needs to be small and fast and easy to refresh but not a chatroom.

    Could put all the characters stats on the left and would be pretty easy to incorporate die rolls and such right in the posts.

    If you guys do not need bells and whistles, ways to draw and pass maps for example, then you are basically playing in a chat room with private message features (with your own game system). We have had all this discussion about that?
