Wallowing in a plethora of related discussion, and then some From: Steve Coyne <steve@kaaboom.demon.co.uk> Date: Sat, 07 Jun 1997 00:00:00 +0000 Er yes well - seems like a good a way of getting everyone's attention. As a Lurker of note (i've got ologees in it) and a player for some years now, I have many times tinkered with the idea of setting up my own little game. I've had several ideas which no one appears to have taken up, and one in particular is very promising - which brings me in around about fashion to the point. Apart from the general lack of articles *see footnote, why are there not any postings relating to helping potential GM's - is it because nobody actually ventures into the dusty tombs of research or the world of programming. Am I the only lost chick in the Eagles realm or are there others like me. C'mon all you other fledgings - rise up and we could have a flutter. Normally i'd just post "so what's everyone coding in" or maybe "I need a town of 500 buildings NE1 seen 1" but the very notion of doing this in r.g.pbm fills me with dread. The Trouble is that I do need to create a virtual town and fill it with 500+ buildings plus NPC's, players and items. I also need the blueprints for the buildings as they need to be printed out for the players as the whole games resolves around this element - then of course it all has to be put together. Hence this post. So in a further effort to stir up the governing gully dwarves - i'd like to ask all the other lurkers to post whatever is on their mind (pbm related(of course)). Lets get the dust off those keyboards and while i'm at it, why don't we have a... 'Stick your AD in your Sig' campaign up to six lines maybe - should be plenty of space so lots of me too's on this one please. Anyway i need a drink so i'll catch ya all tomorrow, cheers now steve...
