keeping it real
When I was away at school some of the kids used to play this "game" during work crews to pass the time.
Basically one person is the "dungeon master" (so to speak, he didn't call himself that, I don't remember any titles actually, it was pretty informal) and the other is the adventurer. Usually the story would start out where the adventurer had just ran away from the school we were at and he had $20, some clothes, some water, perhaps a bike, etc. From there he would decide what to do and the DM would introduce events and characters that he would encounter along the way. We weren't too serious about this, sometimes the DM would plague the player with all sorts of ridiculous and unlikely circumstances. Often it would be hilarious to listen to, these guys were usually pretty creative.
Anyway, I figure we could do something like that here, with the DM and players alternating each post : DM posts starting scenerio, next poster as player says what he's going to do, next new poster is DM and decides what the new situation is, etc.
Only guideline I might add is : DM's - try not to create any unsolvable situations (you can have the player arrested and put in jail but give the player an option or two to get out if he is creative enough).
Think this is feasable?
I'll be curious to see if this takes off!
Before we start, does anyone have any ideas to improve upon mine? I know the messege board is quite a different medium so we might as well maximize it's benefits.
