I've been tinkering with the idea of posting a text based rpg to give people something fun to play around with. I've done one before on an old forum that I use to use, and it went over pretty well. I'm just wondering what some honest thoughts would be about it.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain.
I would act as the "server." People would post in thread in order to play. They would give me a certain type of command that tey would like their player to do. Such as selling items to a store or attacking creatures. It would probably be daily, or twice daily, that I would come on and "update" the game.
That is pretty much the basis of the game. It would require very little effort on the player's part, unless the player would like to go more in depth.
The big problem that occurs with something like this is the lack of being able to edit my original posts. Which means that everything important would have to be posted in graphics. I would have to do the photobucket trick where I replace the image with the same name.
The concept of the game right now would give players the ability to do dungeons with other members on the forums. They would formulate private or open groups that would go through dungeon raids. I would simulate the raids and post the stats on the next server update. Players would receive loot based off of luck and difficulty of the dungeon. The concept of being able to trade/sell/buy/equip items would all encompass this dungeon raiding activity.
Everything would be tied together with some spiffy graphics to give it a good look. What do you think about this idea? Would you participate?
