Media & Mayhem / A talk on the mechanics for forum based RPGs
« on: July 22, 2014, 08:19:11 pm »
Hey guys, so I have a couple questions about forum game RPGs:
1. How do you handle things like group movement and the like. It seems to me that when you use a medium like the forums, you're going to run into problems with actions being taken and lag.
2. How do you handle some people being online and others not online? Entire conversations must happen where only two people are talking and the others appear to be standing about silently, even if the conversation is something that their character would probably be interested in.
I'm seriously curious,
