Role
Playing Games, sometimes called, 'RPG' for
short, as it refers to our sites has to do with online
imaginative gaming. Basically, you create a character
with certain attributes, we will take the barbaric character
of Conan as an example. After 'creating' Conan (via
a point distribution system) you take him through a
world set up by the Game Master (storyteller
of the game).
Most
of the RPGs here are for advanced / intermediate RPGers
(we do welcome beginners if you are serious about RPGing)
that like Play by Post interaction, but not all the
RPGs are Play by Post, some are: MMOPRG, turn based
and so forth. For a full detailed list
click
here.
A
typical TEXT BASED game would involve the Game Master,
called 'GM' for short, telling you about a certain
situation and then you say how you would like Conan
to react to that situation. This is all done via our
forum.
To play you must be a member of our forum in good standing
and have RPG Group status. To get RPG status you must
post a required number of constructive messages and
then have contacted
the GM with a request to change your membership from
regular to RPGer.
Here
are some FAQ, but you can learn more via the RPG boards
on our Forum
Q.
How do I start?
A. To play a Text Based RPG, Join our Forum,
post 30 messages of substance, maintain a participation
of at least 75%, then contact
the administrator to have your group status changed
to RPG. You can then create a character.
Q.
Why do I have to post 30 messages of substance?
A. We cater for mature active players. We do not want
people just registering to create a character and not
play (yes, it has happened in the past), so to show
you are serious we ask that you contribute 30 constructive
messages to the forum. It is not hard because we cover
lots of issues and topics. The below image is an example
of how a typical member's post and character info looks
in the default red skin.
Q.
Is this free or do I have to pay?
A. This is totally FREE! If you wish to contribute
to our work you can always do so via the Contribute
option on the forum.
Q.
Is this copyrighted?
A. Yes, everything here, even the graphics are all original,
do not copy them, the system of play or storyline.
Q.
Am I the character in the game?
A. No, you are not the character, you only decide what
the character will do in the story and then the GM will
tell you the results of your decision.
Q.
Is this page the rules?
A. No, each rpg game has its' own rules in the
forum usually under a thread called, 'Rules
& Game Play' or something similar. As an example
you can check the Medieval
board and look for the first few threads at
the top that describe the game.
Q.
What kind of games do you have?
A. We have four kinds to cater for various tastes:
World of Medieval - Set in a time of magicans, warriors
and knights
Future Earth - Future Earth, a science fiction scenario
Love & Life Bytes - Social comedy with a twist of
twlight zone
Member Wars - This is forum based and so not covered
here as there is little GM intervention
Q.
Ok, it is my first time here and I hate to read, can
you just tell me what to do step by step?
A. Well if you do not like to read then you will not
abide well in our RPGs or forum since it is all based
on reading, afterall, its not like we will get on the
phone and call you with the results of your character's
last move. However, here is a simple step by step process,
but it will still involve you having to make some choices.
1.
You are here and want to play RPG. First join the forum.
2. The link will
take you to a portal page, just click 'Register', read
the rules and fill in the form, tick I agree and then
submit the form. If you did everything correctly you
will be taken to a 'success' page as well as an Email
would have been sent to you.
3. With the Email
you received follow the directions to validate your
account.
4. Start posting!
You have to get 30 in order to request RPG status. This
may take you a couple of days, especially as we do not
allow members to post over a certain amount per day.
5. After you have
posted 30 messages then contact the GM and let him know
your username as well as the fact that you will now
like to have RPG group status.
6. The GM will
write you back when your membership has been changed.
7. When your membership
has changed begin to decide which RPG you wish to play.
You can select from Medieval, Future Earth, or Love
& Life Bytes.
8. When you have
decided which one you want to play then proceed to that
RPG's main page (links are below).
9. On the main
page of the RPG you wish to play are instructions concerning
how to create a character, follow those instructions.
One thing is certain... each RPG board has a thread
called, 'Create Character Here', that is where you will
post the information you obtained from the RPG main
board. I should clarify something here: RPG Main page(s)
refers to the pages that are here: Medieval,
Future
Earth, or L&L
Bytes. RPG Board(s) refers to the actual boards
on the forum
(where you interact with other members and the results,
storyline and other stats are shown).
10. After you post
your character in the relevant thread then the GM will
create your character and inform you to post in the
'Camp' or 'Brainstorm' thread depending on which RPG
you are playing. You are now part of the game and fight
for the survival of your character.
Now
you can select the RPG you wish to play by clicking
on one of the links below:
World
of Medieval | Future
Earth | Love &
Life Bytes
