I’ve had an idea that’s been floating around in my mind for a while. I assume that most people who play CoG’s have RP’ed ( Roleplayed ) before. If not a brief explanation of roleplaying on the internet is constructing a character based on a certain setting I.E. force/magic potential in s Star Wars or Harry Potter RP or equipment depending if you’re a soldier in an army. Once you construct this character and there are sufficient other characters and people controlling them you begin to interact with the other people’s world and that setting your in. A lot like CoG except here you do it alone.
I was thinking that with the permission of the CoG and WIP’s creators we could RP as characters that would most likely come about from their games when we create characters and then RP with them in an official RP for it. This would serve as a fun way for us all to interact with each other and give the game creator new ideas based off our RP’ing. What do you think CoG people? And if it’s a good idea should it be a separate section or on a separate site entirely that we do this.
RP on the forum is not allowed as it clogs up the the site. There are a few places that the CoG writers gather to RP. http://www.lordirish.com/CoRP/index.php
Is one I have hosteded for some time. If you search the threads there are a few otherrs. Hope this helps.
I really wish to advance the features for roleplay for us. BUT! phpBB is just not working out. I find it lacks when it comes to features geared towards RPG. Therefore I am looking at other forum software to use. For one I would like a dice roler. I have tried every mod under the sun for phpBB with little to no success.
Wordpress, there is a plugin that might have potential but, it is still in early development. Maybe one day may switch over to it, for now not enough to work with.
Any ideas on what forum software I should be looking at that I can host from my server and does not require me to spend days trying to understand the program language to add a mod.
After a lot of looking most of the good RPG sites use XenForo. A little pricey for something I run for free, but still may invest in it after the contest. So a few months down the road. I will keep the old forum up and running but will start drafting for new forum.
I am interested in RP but I forgot my password and username to lordirish’s site so I’m on this one:https://www.rpgcrossing.com/index.php but if I could remember my username and password for the other site I would be fine with using that also.
