DM, AG mechanics? From: troyer@cgl.ucsf.edu (John M. Troyer) Date: Wed, 09 Jun 1993 00:29:48 +0000 I have a question for DM and AG players. Can somebody describe to me how the combat systems work? (I didn't save the DM FAQ when it came around, either. Could someone point me to it/send it to me?) I'm familiar with most face-to-face role-playing games. Are the underlying combat mechanics similar to anything I might know? (I guess that part of the DM mystique is that it keeps the mechanics secret. yes?) I'm curious if the constraints of non-interactive computer-moderation have pushed them towards a simpler or a more complex framework than ftf games. I'm also surprised that these things are so popular, and yet no one has put up a free email duel-type game on the net? It seems a lot less complicated than the huge amount of code and databases needed for a MUD or Legends-type game. Thanks! john troyer@cgl.ucsf.edu Referenced By Up
