Would Reddit be interested in participating in a massive online role playing game?
It would work like Dungeons and Dragons, purely story driven, and the story would evolve based on your actions. I have been toying with a story line for the past couple of days that I think would be kind of fun.
Everyone would sort their comments by "old" so that everything is in order.
Eventually users would get split off into groups and continue on separate adventures which eventually converge for the finale. I would RES tag you to keep track of who is doing what.
I'm a writer and quite creative if I do say so myself so evolving the story based on your actions shouldn't be a terrible problem. Actions can be everything from hitting on a pretty purple female fairy in a bar to battle sequences. Successes will be at my discretion not a role of the dice which I am sure is sort of a downside but with enough people it will be random enough as it is. And you wouldn't be able to confirm I rolled the dice so I think being open about that makes it more acceptable?
Questions: Who would be interested? What subreddit should this sort of thing go under? Will people be able to commit enough time to continue through the story till the end? I am thinking we would do this tomorrow evening.
