Topic: Rpg's - Good Or Bad?

I was just wondering to myself whether RPG's are really all that good? Because sometimes they can break up a forum in to two sections, and then there's the guys who take it too serious, and then it ends up a mess (not referring to the one we had that went wrong neccesarily)

However, if they have rules and the people get rid of the people who take it too seriously, some would argue they are a lot of fun.

Personally, I think they're great if they're controlled, otherwise they're not fun anymore.

What do you guys think?

Well, the RP we started at TSE turned out to be great, at the time. But in retrospect, it was very messy with a lot of god-modding. Not helped by the fact that we had no idea what we were doing.

Roleplays, like you said, are great when they are controlled, with fair rules, fair admins, and a great variety of things to do. The problem I have with roleplays these days, is that everything is the same everywhere. I don't see anything new, hence why I have stopped attending and participating in them. By all means, I'd re-enter the world of RPing if there was a new, original idea, that was created. Something I'd never seen before.

Like I said before, when we first had roleplays going, they were great. We were new to the world, and we really did start something that has continued for 2 years I believe it has been since we started TSE.

As for me, I am completely stumped for ideas as to what a new, original idea for a new RP could be. Plus I'm too lazy to run one these days. Not enough time. I think that people should post some ideas here. Just food for thought. Perhaps one day I, or someone else, will start up something. Who knows?

Dunno. Thats my two cents anyway...

Re: Rpg's - Good Or Bad?

Good point. One problem with RPG's is we're limited, as what can you really do with just a forum? The same idea gets used over and over again like you said.

They can be fun as long as one does not have overexpectations of said site.

I agree with you about that. :ph34r:
