TresCom Forums

I was browsing the old news archives, and one from 2005 (whenever Dan found Brian Moore's site, which is currently down) stated that people were interested in starting an RPG based on Tres. Is there still any interest in this project?

Ooooo... we could play out our ideas for Trespasser: Online in a sort of test invironment Hehe I'd go for it if it were put up. Would be similar to how JP diorama stories are often set up... group of people land on the island, get stuck, need to find a way off.. or we could set it up in a way where we have more of a goal there. Or MAYBE we could make it like the show Lost, where we discover some dark secret about what's really on the island...

LOL, I saw those biscuits a couple of episodes ago... (season 3 just started on cable a little over 2 weeks ago)

Regarding the RPG, I came across those old news the other day too and wondered what happened... which reminds me I haven't yet found the news item I was looking for in the first place (stopped at the start of 2005, IIRC).

So there's interest? Cool. Never really participated in one of these things before, we'll have to draw up some guidelines or whatever...

Speaking of Lost.... garh. That's all I'm saying.

Sweet, let's use this thread to further discuss how we want to start the first RPG.. I have some ideas. Let's hear what else people would like to see in it. Main premise will probably be, as I once said, where the characters find themselves stranded on one of the JP islands and go about various adventures while trying to figure out a way to get off the island...

Hey, I have that RPG maker VX, it's an 2D RPG game maker for Windows Vista. Here's some photos:

Not sure if you were talking about 2d or 3d RPG.

I don't think they are talking about either one, they're talking real RPG, like Dungeon & Dragons.

Actually, we were talking about text RPG. I suppose it's common usage in that form is much less common for the new generations. In high school, many of my friends had notebooks where they'd get passed to one another during the schoolday, where each person would write another part of the story (with some restrictions, usually it should concern your character etc.) and pass it to the next person. Forum post-based RPGs work the same way except as posts. A premise is set up, and each post forwards the story as it goes. I wanted to get an idea of what kind of RPGs people here would be interested in, but it seems there's not much interest.. And Anna already noted to me that she doesn't think it's a good idea for a JP-type premise. But since you've made me think about it, I'm going to start one anyway and see if it gets participation.

EDIT: Yesh, Nick is correct, pretty much. Though we don't exactly use dice..

Oh, I see. Sorry.

Yeah..

Is anyone going to participate in the RPG? It's nothing major, you just come up with a basic character and introduce it by having him/her ring the doorbell..

Just as a note about the in-progress RPG "The Hidden Valley". I've just looked at NoTrespassing's profile and it says "User is inactive
Reason: Profile details changed", which IIRC is what my profile read when I was not allowed to log in recently. Did he do something wrong we haven't been told about?

I'm guessing he changed his e-mail address and didn't get the confirmation, either...
