Are all the RPGs worth keeping?

Danny Stewart · #1 August 17, 2005, 6:10 PM

We're running a whopping four RPGs on here, not counting the various mini-RPGs we run off on the side. I'm thinking that maybe some people would prefer it if we stopped some of the RPGs so that other ones would get more focus.

On the poll above, please check all the RPGs that you feel are worth keeping.

Well Tetryon and the Delphina definately are, I think SGJ could perhaps be beyond saving now, as it has fallen into complete inactivity. Also, Echoes in Time was off to a bad start I believe, so im not sure if we should maybe scale it down, and keep it as mini rpg, perhaps also we could do the occasional Stargate RPG aswell in the unofficial RPGs section.

Danny Stewart · #3 August 18, 2005, 1:35 PM

I think that's probably not such a bad idea.

Chris Britton · #4 August 28, 2005, 3:24 PM

I would like them all to stay, but tone some down,

Danny Stewart · #5 August 28, 2005, 3:26 PM

That's what we're thinking about right now.

Chris Britton · #6 August 28, 2005, 3:38 PM

I agree with you

Danny Stewart · #7 August 28, 2005, 6:02 PM

Perhaps we should move Doctor Who and Stargate into the Mini-RPGs section. Less structure, more fun.

Ross Hendrie · #8 August 29, 2005, 7:08 AM

Yeah, that seems like a good idea. Whatever happened to that Ice Warriors/UNIT rpg we were planning Danny? It seems to have been bumped for Chris's ideas.

I think Tetryon and Delphina are fine as they are, however I feel that Stargate Journeys and Echos in Time need significant changes.

Stargate Journeys, I feel, set out to be too big. I mean, I wouldn't think that there would be enough members to make a RPG about the entire Stargate Program possible, perhaps we should confine ourselfs to a single Stargate team.

Echos in Time was too reliant on Danny and Chris to get the plot started. Pehaps, to increase the amount of involvement everyone else would potentially be able to have at the begining of a plot, perhaps a non-canon Doctor with non-canon companions, so that when the TARDIS arrives somewhere and somewhen everyone involved can step off and be invoved instead of waiting until they are needed.

No idea. We can work on that again if you'd like to.

Sounds good. Certainly no more than two. I just wanted to provide some choices so that the people who were more interested in medical could join SG-4 or whatever. But certainly now that seems a bit too grand, yes.

All other Doctors are currently available -- no one seemed to want to take the roles. However, I am willing to open up other positions to members, including non-canon ones.

Ross Hendrie · #11 August 30, 2005, 10:01 AM

Well I think that Echoes in Time was similarly too big aswell, as having every Doctor was a little ambitious.

Chris Britton · #12 August 30, 2005, 10:16 AM

Yeah, maybe we can just focus on Chris Eccleston for now Danny, Have him, Rose, Captain jack or maybe Jackie and Mickey if possible, to cut it down, we can use sme fo my plots, and some of Ross' ideas, just trying to narrow it down so it does not look so empty.

Danny Stewart · #13 August 30, 2005, 3:15 PM

But I didn't have every Doctor. All sections were closed except for Christopher Eccleston (and Tom Baker for old series fans).

Chris Britton · #14 August 31, 2005, 8:01 AM

ah, I ment to say we have a forum for each doctor., my fault.

Danny Stewart · #15 August 31, 2005, 9:13 AM

Yes, but only two of the dozen or so forums were open for posting.

Chris Britton · #16 August 31, 2005, 10:14 AM

i see, may i ask politley what the point of the others for?

, I guess that there were there if anyone wanted to play as them.

Ross Hendrie · #17 August 31, 2005, 12:30 PM

Well I think that the old Doctor Who is a lot better to base an RPG on that the new. Personally I wouldnt like rping in a RPG where the main character has a rediculous outfit.

Anyway I sort of went in the huff and left the RPG forums last night Danny, can you approve me again? lol.

Why on earth would you do something crazy like that? Yes, I can approve you, but no matter how pissed off you get, don't leave the groups unless you're serious -- it just makes more work for me!

*cracks whip* You live to work, slave!

Chris Britton · #20 September 2, 2005, 5:05 PM

Now that was not nice Max.
