Endless Perspective

Abbey · Nomic (Fri Sep 28, 2007 11:28 pm)

This game was not designed or created by me; it was briefly described by Peter Suber in June, 1982, and later published in the book The Paradox of Self-Amendment). It is only an RP because I say it's an RP. It's also not an RP because no one voted to say it is.

The whole purpose of this game is to create the game by voting on the rules, then playing by the rules. Your turn can be a normal "Hack and Slash" turn or even a "Change X Rule" turn. For this reason, I'm giving it separate threads; One for rules, one for the game.

We can make this into separate games, too, if you want, kind of like SotW on each forum I've posted it on (this forum has vampyres fighting humans, another is about faith vs. science, one is about law vs. chaos).

The core goal of the game is to reach 100 points by continually rolling dice. It was created that way to be boring so that people would WANT to change the rules.

So...anyone want to join? Or debate about what I'm about to put in here?

Character Sheet

I'm interested in this, but I'll be brief. I'm drugged up and can't understand it at the moment. So, if you will could explain it to someone as idiotic and brain-dead as I am today! Meep Beep.

Oh and I'd like to see this stuff added to the character sheet.

@ Personality
@ Mentality
@ Physical Statistics
@ And a fancy word for what the character looks like!

Members of the game vote on how the game works or they take their turn playing the game. That's it Razz

That's really the only brief description of how it works that makes any sense...

And I'll add those...but first:

1) What would mentality include that personality wouldn't?
2) What do you mean by physical statistics?

As soon as you answer those, I'll add those two as well.

Yes. If not, there would have to be another vote to determine what kind of game it would be.

Mirage · (Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:22 am)

Well I think it should be a turn-based combat RP, with a dice system. That is, if you are taking votes from people.

*Mirage takes a look around.

Wait, no-one else is here, so my vote is the one that counts!

Abbey · (Fri Oct 26, 2007 1:41 am)

So does mine! And that sounds okay, I guess...as long as everyone (as in both of us) agrees to play fairly Razz

So, yeah...here's what we have so far:

A turn based combat RP with a dice system with a 4 part character sheet (the other two parts can be combined with the personality and description, respectively).

Now...about that annoying little plot thing...

Mirage · (Fri Oct 26, 2007 8:31 am)

Yay!

As for storyline, I reckon we should do a post-apocalyptic scenario meself. I haven't RPed in that kind of scenario as of such.

But I've done it way too much...it gets boring relatively quickly...But I guess we can. It's not like it has to stay that way Razz

We can always vote on a new way for it to be later if it does get boring Razz

Mirage · (Fri Oct 26, 2007 5:13 pm)

Good, well then.

Get it started up and what not! I haven't RPed in bloody ages!

Abbey · (Fri Oct 26, 2007 10:22 pm)

All we have are characters and a time period! (It's like another version of SotW, then Razz

)

Go ahead

But personally, I think the Great War idea's been overdone Razz

Do we plan on having skills?

Mirage · (Sat Oct 27, 2007 5:36 pm)

Yeah, forget the Great War idea. More of perhaps,development of some sort of organism far more powerful than us. Or maybe a virus or a computer overpowering the world.

As for the skills, I'd say a yes to that captain. I don't think classes should be created though, more diversity that way.

Abbey · (Sun Oct 28, 2007 12:54 am)

Agreed on the classes thing...The "organism far more powerful than us" thing has been done too much, too...and the virus thing reminds me of 28 Days Later...or Resident Evil...The computer thing is too 'Matrix-y'...

Meteor?
