Man, I miss DnD... I'm too ADD-riddled to figure the game out for myself, so I always needed a group of people to help me out, and now I gots nobody. Dx

[Serra Britt]

I miss DnD also but I'm not nearby to anyone I know much anymore. I could probably try to find some group but...bleh :p

Fallout 1 and 2 were top down, like, ah.. Baldur's Gate? I'm not quite sure what else to relate them to.

My group broke up after high school and I never really bothered looking again, so it's a been about five years for me.

You guys wouldn't want to do a DnD RP, would you? I'm not sure the idea I've been working on would that for it and it makes everything more complicated.

[Serra Britt]

I certainly wouldn't mind trying, I really do miss it, but I don't have dice anymore, I'd have to use an online randomizer. And I think I only have 3rd edition books...somewhere. Maybe not even those anymore but I have no idea why I'd get rid of them. They're probably just in a box somewhere.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Mm, well, I can consider it. It would be 3.5 if I did, since those are the only books I have, but I'm a pretty flexible DM.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Okay... thinking about this a bit more, I have this crazy idea for a post-apocalyptic/fantasy RP based on the Book of Revelation with all sorts of factions and artifacts and monsters. We could have a mix of modern weapons technology and magic of various kinds. I'd be taking pretty much whatever I wanted from the source material and re-imagining it for my own purposes; I just love the apocalyptic imagery.

This sound interesting to anyone?

[Serra Britt]

I'm not quite sure how to RP over the forums, technichally, but yes, I'd be interested :3

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, neither am I. I'd have to learn. :p

[Serra Britt]

Guess we'll wait and see if any of the other regulars to this thread are interested then xD

[Suzerain of Sheol]

I feel kind of bad saying this, but I need to find a copy of Revelation I can highlight all over so I can remember which parts I want to use. I don't think my mother would appreciate me desecrating her Bible. :p

I might end up printing it offline.

[Serra Britt]

I've seen highlighted Bibles, it's not desecration Oo Printing just Revelations would probably be cheaper than buying a Bible anyways though.

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.

[Serra Britt]

Haha Quiet, reading that makes me laugh a LOT. I imagine I might have had more fun with first person shooters if I didn't lose all the time, plus, I started WAAAAY back on Doom, and the one person who always dragged me to play with him loved beating me terribly. I enjoyed playing Doom Co-op, but there was always that "oops I blew up my teammate again..." that happened, usually him doing it to me by accident :p

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Heh. Doom was my first as well, but I was wussy at the time and jumped out of my seat half the time when a monster appeared. There's little 8-year old me, or so, walking along, do-be-do, MONSTER!EEEEEEKK!!! *mashes space bar as fast as she can.* This was Doom on DOS. I don't recall if there was a point to that game beyond killing aliens. I'm still a little unnerved by Doom 3.

Most of the above post stuff comes from TimeSplitters or Time Splitters 2. The game keeps a kill count and it goes by who caused the death so when someone sets me on fire (there are flamethrowers in the game) I can run into a mob of people, set them on fire too with my flaming self and get the points for killing them. :). For some reason I'm actually fairly good at that game so I -natually- like it more than others. It's the only shooter I actually own.

I know about the co-op issues. I used to play with my friend who insisted on being in the back since I was better at it than him, but he was constantly shooting me in the back of the head. It often led to me chasing him down to I could shoot him a few times before we moved onto the next area.

[Quiet Man Cometh]

I guess I could mention that Time Splitters is a shooter game with the plotline that there are alien beings that are appearing throughout the world's history and you're a special agent that tracks them down, so at one point you're in Cold War Russia with leugers and snipper rifles, and another time it's the old west with sticks of dynamite, revolvers, rifles and powder kegs, or you're in the future with oddball weaponry and tacky leotard outfits. One of my favourites is the dual tommy guns from the 1920's scenario.

[Serra Britt]

I'm familiar with Time Splitters but never played it, FPS games are pretty low on my list because of my friend's Doom obsession ^^; I do, however, enjoy side scrolling shooters, like Touhou, Thunderforce, Gradius, and the like.
