Forum RPGs

So far, we have the STGODs and diplomacy, where you have nations and whatnot. Is anyone interested in starting a character based forum RPG?

Don't think others havn't tried starting new ones, or even restarting old ones. They've all died.

But if you can get one started, i'm game.

I'll eventually continue mine, but I've just had other things on my mind the past couple of months.

I'm not sure if mine will be continued or not. I started it too early, without properly preparing myself, and as such sunk when I proverbially fell into the deep end.

As it stands I have to retool the rules a little, and actually write an adventure/campaign.

Well, I'm not a fan of any fantasy RPGs with witches and warlocks and vampires and humans being pansies and all that. I want futuristic stuff with guns, explosions and guns shooting out explosions. So, are there any RPGs here which exist or will exist which cater to my sci-fi needs?

Sci-fi RPGs are so hard to come across.

Radical!

Mine has guns galore, though not strictly sci-fi, unless you consider cyberpunk to be sci-fi.

Speaking of that, how come your site isn't working?

I read the original game thread and got interested in learning the system, but
your website was always down or whatnot.

The important links should work now, but I didn't know about it being down. When was it down a lot?

EDIT: I'd be happy to give a synopsis or send you a copy of the Big Book if you can't connect to the site.

We had two superhero attempts at this that had a neat little system for character making, but both died really early on.

Sure, just PM it to me. I keep trying to load the page, and I still keep getting 404 errors. It might be a problem with my ISP, who knows.

The tensided site seems okay to me from a cursory glance. Nice overhaul, though the navigations links that come into focus on rollover are a touch confusing at first

Hmm. Tell me if these direct links work:

Big Book v 2.59, last "stable" version

Big Book v 3.0 brainstorm edition, newer ideas but no attempt to organize them yet

For the record, I had started a D6 Fallout campaign a while back, though I did go on a 3 week Chrismas hiatus from it, it ended for reasons beyond my intention.

A linky for those currious:

I should look into either having it resurrected or starting a new WEG D6 adventure (Star Wars would be nifty, and I've got a couple ideas floating around for something).

Yep, those seem to work. Odd.
Thanks in any case.
