(Out of character to people submitting characters...umm...thanks, but you're kind of missing the point. This is a forum game about a forum game. You're playing the guy running the forum game.)

...huh. If so that's more layers within layers than I expected this to have.

I have now decided to make a rock gods game. On this forum. It'll take me a bit of time, though.

Game getting to meta for you LordBucket?

Insert new rules after the game has started to keep someone from just destroying someone else.

Think about adding a new rule, using maptools and googledocs, where you have an RP-heavy weekly session about playing a game about the rockgods game, with a winner. The events of these game sessions will affect the backstory/creation myth of the game, thereby adding new powers to the worshipped rockgods AS THEY ARE DISCOVERED. Obviously the rockband can then make songs about the rockgods and their awesome creation myths, a bit like Viking Rock, and you could use maptools OR an IRC to RP the creative process behind the songs, which will give you +1 to the roll. Then ask mum if she has any more Doritos and if she thinks you've caught gastroenterology from Mike at school because you heard he had it pretty bad.


Oh - and if you've got a bad case of gastroenterology then you won't be able to go on vacation, so you can continue the game. I guess if it wasn't so awesome you could ask for a co-GM for the two weeks.

Also oh - PM Toady and ask him to ban death and not ban Bubbles.

But what 12 year old wouldn't want to go to disney world?  Just drop the game for two weeks, I'm sure the players will be able to move the story along without you.

You'll have to quickly draft some pretty strict rules to guide them in their genius overlord's absence.

2) You could do something creative and philosophically deep, like "You are a cardboard box." Or "You are belly button lint," Or, "You are a rock."

Hey cool, I was referenced.  :D

Wait a minute, is this a good thing or a bad thing? O.o

I should add chronic forum game abandoner to my sig or something. >.>

Add random factors to every single rule. Who doesn't like random things?
Edit: Oh shit didn't realize this was that old. I forgot I was going on an archive binge. Ignore this.

Troll ALL the other forum games, even the dead ones, with a second account, so that our own one will look even better compared!

Edit: Wait damn, this is dead.
