So...how about that Game Design forum huh?

If anyone wants to copy/paste their old posts from the forum to here, please do so!

We can't save the sinking ship but we can save as many of the passengers as possible in the lifeboats!

Hello!

*echo*

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"ello!"

"lo."

<sub>"lo."

"o."</sub>

LOL looks like we're still just getting started. :P

If you gut an RPG and use just the rules but not the setting is it a homebrew? I like the rules for Battle bugs a wrestling RPG but hate the setting because you play bugs that wrestle.

In reply to shady joker (msg # 5):

I think thats just making house rules in a sense.

For everyone who transferred over from the old Game Design forum, did any of you want to save any of your posts from there?

You can copy/paste them here if you want to preserve them.

Does anyone else have any interest in the 'AEtherverse' miniatures game?

Howdy, I was *not* a member of the old forum. What is the protocol here? If one wants to discuss a particular system, does one begin by announcing ones intentions here in the OOC thread? Does one start a new thread? Are discussions of particular rules best suited for the system thread, or would it be prefered to put it in its own thread? How much of what we discuss here is setting versus rules?

I wasn't in the old forum either. But I believe you post in 'New Thread Request' What you want, then the GM makes the thread and deletes your post in 'New Thread Request'. That way only pending requests are in New Thread Request thread.

In reply to chupabob (msg # 9):

You can start your own threads by posting requests in the New Thread Requests thread.

Unlike forums, games here don't allow people to make their own threads without GM powers and if everyone is a GM then anyone can edit anyone else's post with no way for us to track down one irresponsible party.

So we just post it on your behalf and you can continue to comment on it there.

Having just read over the reasons for deletion in the original forum I would like to ask: If this game is approved for Forum status at a later time would it be possible for myself and others to be approved as moderators and what would be the process for doing that?

In reply to Alexei Yaruk-Mundhenk (msg # 12):

Heck yeah. If you read the game info i put a note to make sure this one doesnt die. Ill make anyone a gm here into a mod for the forum if we ever achieve the status.

In reply to Alexei Yaruk-Mundhenk (msg # 12):

On that note, did anyone want to get moderator status and does anyone know how long we have to be around before applying for forum status?

No clue, I think the time limit has something to do with the old forum having folded and them not wanting a new one to do the same: but I am going to hazard a guess that we have to wait at least till the old forum is deleted.

Oh, and BTW: Yes, I would like to volunteer as a GM/Mod, just in case. I wont be around and checking in every single day but I think I could definitely keep the forum from folding up and falling apart like the last version.  (In other words while I would take over if I had to I would rather be an assistant to the chief mod.)

Also I think we ought to establish some forum rules and post them prominently: Something a bit more delineated than what is in the RTJ and Also in their own thread so that players who have already applied can look at the top page and just say "OK, need to check the rules again: this thread says 'rules' that is probably a good place to start." (Among the rules that we don't have and I think we need is a ban on IRL politics and religion: if you really need advice about how to use those in a game there is GPIA for that, or alternately we could have a specific sub forum somewhere for discussing those topics, which I doubt would have much traffic: maybe hide it in a group like '7' or something.)

In reply to Alexei Yaruk-Mundhenk (msg # 15):

Good idea. Ill get cracking on that next time im at a real keyboard.

Yes I suggested something along those lines.  Although I think I suggested the current RTJ thread could have been renamed to Forum Rules and RTJ since the RTJ is primarily ya promise to follow the rules.
