RP Planning / Discussion Thread

I LOVED the old RP's we used to do.

If we ever get one going again (will we have enough people interested?) I'm going to re-cast my old character from the 2214 RP, Shell. I know that thread is long, long gone but if I can remember her attributes and back story I'll put it here.

Although I remember the great RP's we used to do, I cannot remember anything about my own characters. I do remember Shell, Electra, and Lynx's character.

Really wish I had saved a copy of those old threads. It was rather stupid of me not to do so.

I feel like I may not really have time for this sort of stuff anymore, myself, but I could give something a try at some point. I'm much more accustomed to running games in a chat on IRC these days, though.

It's cool. I know you're very busy these days and the IRC channels are probably the most effective way of running the RPs.

I think forums-based RPs are really more of a collaborative creative writing project as opposed to a typical, structured role playing game.

Perhaps this category shouldn't be called "Role Playing" but something else that more accurately describes collaborative story telling without the regular game play mechanics.

Honestly, in my case, I think part of it is just the fixed schedule of everyone getting together makes things run smoothly, while forum-based stuff can sort of die out due to lack of active posting.

So, eh, if I do a thing, I'd probably just at least hold myself to a posting schedule just to keep things going and fresh. I could probably toss up a few dumb ideas I've had, at some point, too.
