Minimally Multiplayer Online Tabletop RPGs (mMOTRPGs)

[HoundedbyHeaven]

---

I wondering if anyone here has heard, read, if not played minimally multiplayer online tabletop role-playing games (RPGs)? Also known as "text-based" RPGs, these games usually take the following forms: Play by E-mail (PbE-m), Play by Chat (PbC) or Play by (Forum or Message Board) Post (PbP). I myself haven't played these kinds of games, only observed these. However, I have gamemastered a few "offline" tabletop RPGs-- the kind that uses weird-looking dice with numbers of sides lesser or more than six (those who play Magic the Gathering and other collectible or trading card games may be aware of what kinds of dice I'm talking about here)--under the Chaosium Third Edition RuneQuest rules and the Mongoose RuneQuest rules.

I really like to run an mMOTRPG with a maximum of two players for starters. I got some really old fantasy "adventure scenarios" (to borrow terminology from the mother and most popular of all tabletop RPGs, Dungeons & Dragons) that I haven't run before.

Thank you, even for just reading.

I played PBeM wargames before (play-by-email). This includes Panzer General II and other hex-based wargames. Thing is, you need tons of imagination (something current youngsters don't seem to possess anymore) to keep interest up in this sort of gaming, thus only purists will truly enjoy it.

Well put. Can't disagree.

I know it's a long shot, but those who play computer RPGs are the ones most vulnerable to the attraction of mMOTRPGs.

Thanks.

No, I'm afraid not. It's neither minimally multiplayer nor of the tabletop nature.

Peace.

It's not that the young people who play these kinds of games have become less and less, it's that the dumbasses on Xbox Live get more attention.

Peace.
