It does look like something interesting. I like to believe I'm good at coming up with something on the spot if necessary, so perhaps as long as I don't end up being required to write more than 10 posts in a session I'll probably be okay with this.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

So, I'm wondering, without any sort of rules, how does one go about adjudicating things? Would it just be up to my discretion? (I'd like to think I'm responsible enough to handle that.)

[CupcakeDolly]

It's your baby, so run it however you'd like. If someone's being bad, send them a PM and tell them to "change this" or "knock that off," or else they're kicked. That's really all you can do. xD Very worst case scenario, involve a site mod.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Oh, I meant more in-game. Like, deciding if players are able to do something they want to do, as in success or failure.

[CupcakeDolly]

Hm... I'm not sure. Every RP I've ever been in has basically been every player writing a chunk of a story from their character's point of view. So whatever they want to do, they just do it, and if it's too outrageous the mod tells them so.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Oh, okay. That's easy enough.

[CupcakeDolly]

xD Forum roleplaying is like DnD with most of the innards ripped out...

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Heh. That's a good way to put it. Another way might be to look at it as another group story of sorts. My current RP had only a basic launch point and we're working on it as we go. Running the thing for me bascially means I field any questions people have about joining or playing and referee the action. Not much else has been required.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, I'll have the setting fleshed out enough to let the story go pretty much wherever the players want it to, hopefully (within reason). I imagine there's a balance to be struck between guiding them along and letting them run free, no?

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Mediate, is the term I'd use. You will have a character yourself after all, or so it's been in most of the RP's I've seen.

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Oh, I didn't know that. Not used to that, from DnD. ;)

[CupcakeDolly]

Yup, a DM in this kind of RP would be next to useless. =P So you get a character all your very own.

[Espy]

Wait, I heard roleplaying?

[Suzerain of Sheol]

Well, all right then. I will take that under advisement.

Edit@ Ninja Espy: ...maybe. *shifty eyes*

[Quiet Man Cometh]

Part of the fun I find is seeing what comes up from the interaction within the setting.

[Espy]

Come on, come on. Fill meh in. Trisphee RP?
