Yes. And yes, it did seem very quiet around here earlier... then again I was incredibly bored, and frequently checking the forum at great difficulty on my phone. Bay12 is more-or-less the only site I can access on it, so. Oh man I have internet finally eeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Still too early to say, really. Let's see how I feel tomorrow morning when I need to go to work.

I'm still trying to figure out what this 'sleep' thing people around here keep talking about is, I haven't had more than three-four hours of it a night since I was twelve.

Wot kinda' zoggin' nonsense is dis squishy spewin'? Any grot dat's got a problem wid' ork heaven can 'old still fer a good crumpin'!

...

... actually, I totally just noticed that if you flip the M upside down, Gork and Mork come out to GW. Yet another bullet point in the long list of evidence the WH40k universe is, in fact, the orkish afterlife. Everyone else is there 'cause orkz is da' best, and dey went and crumped all the other afterlives and made 'em proper orky. Really does explain pretty much everything about the setting.

It's morning roughly across America, isn't it? Might be more active in the afternoon.

(I don't actually know the nationality of forum members, so I might be wrong in assuming most members are American)

Well, it's 2:30PM here in Poland and the rest of Central Europe (so 1PM in the UK and probably 3-4PM in Eastern Europe), and I believe it's very early morning (5AM?) on the western end of the Americas (at least if my memory of British Columbia's time serves correctly).
It's not unfair to assume that most people on B12 are American though. Then again that also applies to the internet as a whole.

I think we should turn this into a simple forum game where anyone who is bored during the can GM or play.

I mean, sure. Why not. Should keep allowing OOC discussion of random stuff, though.

If we go the FG route... how about a simple d20 or d6, in the vein of a minimalist RTD? Could keep a status spoiler to help GMs.

Good idea. I think a d10 would work pretty well here, actually. Rolls from 1-5 would fail, and rolls from 6-10 would succeed, balancing the success between modifiers and luck. We should have a simplistic character sheet system that could be used for any game that a GM would want to start.

Yeah, sounds good. Let's say that each point in a skill gives a +1 bonus to actions with that skill.

Maybe achieving a goal levels you up instead of making you win? + skill points depending on the difficulty of the goal, then new equipment and such at the current GM's discretion.

I like that. This way, characters could be played across multiple adventures.

Great! Always good to have the OP's consent.

Actually, pretty sure there's supposed to be a move topic button somewhere at the bottom of the page. You can use that to throw us into FG&RP or RTD if you like.

On a somewhat related note, editing the subject of the OP can rename the topic if you want to do that.

No consent here, I'm thinking about ways to incorporate the move topic button into a game. The only problem with move topic is the automatic redirection post.

Not a good idea. Stuff like that is one of the reasons why the Various Nonsense sub-board was wiped out of existence, and likely would not be looked upon kindly by Toady.
