I think you have a good idea, wilson. Let the people know their own boundaries, but not go overboard.
Hi, I'm relatively new to The Escapist but I had a question about this specific forum.
I'm writing a pen and paper RPG for my friend and was tempted to post the concepts in the forum and ask people for suggestions and stuff. Now I didn't want to just go ahead and do in case of moderator wrath, a reason why there might rules against it escapes me but it doesn't mean that aren't any! It's just that it would be 'about' an RPG rather than a game in and of itself.
Or would it be better just to put it in the Off-Topic and be done with it?

You should feel free to put it in either forum depending on the focus of your thread. If it is merely to gather opinion then Off-topic. If you want to play it with someone, this is the forum to post it in.rossatdi post=362.63498.708520 said:
I wanna make an RP. I had an idea for one and all...
But I'm too afraid that I'll muck it all up and maybe get printed as a spammer.
Because if there's one thing I'm sure of in life, it's that it generally takes me a few tries to get something right.
And I have school, so I wouldn't be on half of the time, so goodness knows what would 'appen when I'm gone. Might go all unorganised.

Would a forum game involving the posting of pictures made in MSpaint be allowed?
If you've ever seen Something Awful's photoshop phriday, something like that, but using paint so it is more accessable to everyone. Is there any rules against such a thread?
(I looked at the guidelines and didn't see any, but I would like to check first, as I'd rather not have the shame of a locked thread hanging over my head.)

I don't believe there is, in fact there have been a few forum games using this technique.The Iron Ninja post=362.63498.732193 said:
The Massive Multiplayer Online Stick War springs to mind.
Well now all I need to do is think hard about what exactly the topic of the thread will be. Thanks Armitage Shanks

These guidelines are for RP games only. Picture threads do okay here, as long as they aren't memeriffic, racist, sexist, or inappropriate for children. We don't need more Auschwitz and penis pictures, ever. Just make sure the participants of your thread obey the rules of common sense.The Iron Ninja post=362.63498.732193 said:

As much as I wish it were true, it just doesn't feel quite right inside. I think the only way I can be truly happy is if I destroy the game with my own two hands.The_root_of_all_evil post=362.63498.788742 said:Care of XKCDUltrajoe post=18.63498.788691 said:
Your blog would be the best place for that. If you feel like you'd like to share your story with this board there is a place in your profile to link your website.Mogif post=362.63498.762268 said:
