I'I'm looking for two or three victims for RPG experiment

I was thinking how to motivate myself to practice some writing English and I've got an idea to try to run a RPG session on email. I'm not exactly sure on time of setting but it will be cross of sensation, spy and some S-F. Time of game would be around 1940-1990 somewhere in there.

I'm looking for 2 or max 3 players who prefer storytelling then normal dice throwing. As I know that playing via email is hard this would be probably more like creation of story then 100% RPG. No real system and just two rules. 1 GM is always right. 2 if GM is not right look at rule 1. :P You just need to trust my judgement.

As my English is as it is (just don't start telling me it is good, because I just don't trust it:P) I will need that players should send me back correction of failures, or tell me how something should be better.

So... anyone interested? Send me a priv

Cheers

I would actually be interested in that Karol. Sling my name into the hat, and as I studied English to the highest level possible in the public school system I'd probably be an ideal person to use big words and flowery storytelling.

Dave out.

Hmm 11 minutes and I already have two victims... Price will be The Great Cthullu!!!:P

D-F and yes, same here I also have dislexia and also I hate it especial in English because in your language there is between this what you hear and what you write... Polish in this case is better.

So is it similiar to the email RPG's you can sign up to on line. I used to do one ages ago that was star trek based where you wrote an email for a little bit of the story and then others took what you character did and wove it into there stores.

Question - do I have the time? Maybe, so I'll volunteer for now as well.

Not exactly the same, I will try to do as much as I can from normal RPG and obviously I don't give you chance to create the story for yourself:P I will try to squeeze from players good description of their characters and on this basis I will be create situation and solve small things, so players will decide about bigger things.

I think it will be possible to post a mail once for 2-3 days. So decide quickly:P

Marovian, I was thinking about it and I think that for now I will stick with only two players... It will be probably hard enough... If it will go smooth I will always find place for you to join.

No worries, I'll sit this one out.

Foe42 - I think it was called the UCIP or something like that. They had the real time ones as well, but I never used them as I am not technically minded enough to do all the mumbo jumbo stuff you had to do to get into the chat rooms. At least, it never worked for me.

The thread title startled me.

Thought "who would volunteer to be a victim of some kind of rocket launcher shenanigans".

Sorry.

I don't know how anyone on a Roleplaying/Wargames forum thought Rocket Propelled Grenade. I rather suspect Sheep genuinely thought it then everyone else decided to retroactively muscle in on the joke.

i genuinely thought it as well ricky, ive seen enough films with RPGs in that the initials RPG instantly invoke images of slamming my black hawk helecopter into reverse, not reams of rules and dice with more or less than six sides...

I did a little bit of Cthulu RPG a while back and really enjoyed it. If you need any more test subjects at a later date am more than willing to help :)

Oddly it never occurred to me that the thread had anything to do with missiles or rockets or grenades or anything like that... how strange am I?!! :blink:

First thing I thought was Rocket Propelled Grenade, but I've been playing Halowars lately.
I just started Dragon Age again with all the expansions so I most likely wouldn't have had time anyway o.o
