[Quiet Man Cometh]

Not sure I follow what you're up to there Sheol but I'll give anything a go.

Forum rp is pretty basic. Imagine playing DnD with sticky notes. That about covers it. There are dice rollers around based around dnd that let you rolle stats, various dice, etc. Some keep track of round per round activities, if stats and such are being included. I find it's the character sheets that get annoying more than anything. ;)

As far as shooters go, how much fun I can have running around and blowing things up is usually how I measure the game. It's even better if I can do the quests and such but I'm for open scenarios, death counts and such. I'm mean though. I throw grenades from windows, lay proximity mines in hallways and intersections, camp around a blind corner with a big gun, run over people with vehicles, and launch flame granades while standing in a pond in case someone manages to set me on fire. :D. Fun fun.
