... I'd be OK with it. Provided I knew the other person's playing style well enough. I guess it'd also depend on the story somewhat. If it makes my character...
I'd only allow such a thing if both players worked on it in advance just to avoid any grief or such. ... -- --I know there are no lifeguards in the gene pool,...
From the clinical definition, I'd say that does count as controlling someone else's character. You're defining their past, however insignificant the part,...

By imposing a childhood acquaintance upon someone else's character, that might already count as controlling someone else's character. :o) It would be a larger...
Yes, it could be considered to be controlling the other player's character. I've kinda done something similar a few times in the past, where my character has...

I'll start off with the important comment: the term "werebear" makes me giggle. Secondary comments: The one game I have seen where there was a similar weight ...
Anyone ever perticipate (either as the Game Manager or a player) in a plot that was really, really fun for them - something that just sticks out in your memory...
So there's been a lot of discussion over on the RPG Player Sanctuary list, a lot of it childish (some of that childishness coming from my very own keyboard,...
We've had this discussion in a number of ways over the years, but, again, since it came up elsewhere, I got to thinking about it. What makes a good and...
I've got a whole different view of this topic after 18 months of running pbem2 - and my main peeve is people who put extra characters in their ads as ...
... Admittedly, I haven't been playing as much lately (I've joined two sims in the past four years as a player). It's because I really haven't found any game ...
I wouldn't say that the RPGverse is in a decline, but more undergoing a shift of paradigim. I think I started back around '02-'03 and compared to then, now...
Had to pop in at Sanctuary and see what the hub-bub was about, and somehow ended up back in 2005 with Gregory declaring "An RPG is a DICTATORSHIP, not a...
I'm going to go out on a limb and propose the idea that the number and quality of writers in the RPGverse has never changed. People are constantly coming and...
This thread made me wonder what any of us would think of the RPGverse today if we had just discovered it. If it was, to us, all shiny and new again. I was...
I was looking for the Season 2 schedule for the WB's Roswell when I happened upon an advertisement for "a Michael" and I got curious. I autoed like mad in my...

For games, short and sweet. What's the game and what can I play? The ones that scare me are the ones that seem incredibly large. "I've designed this world...
I think it is a pretty strong limb, so you're fine. Because I would agree with you, I do not think the number of people has gone down. What is happening is...
... Good point. I'm getting crusty in my old age (heh) and I agree. I know what I want, and just because you've joined my game does not mean that I need to...
Oh God. My first game was horrible. I had no idea what I was doing at all. Which is why I started this group. And hell, yeah, I am seriously jaded. Most of the...
... Those scare me, too. If I can play the ruler of a country, what do you want me to do? Can I come up with my own plots or do you have something in mind?...
