Very much. I'm a little confused by the term "programmed" at the link, but I guess it just refers to a connotation used before computers took over (judging by the photos). I updated the OP with detail - the intent is to provide many of the options that game books do, while providing additional...

On this episode of Designers Needing Designers: Hey designers! I'm writing an online game, interactive fiction, and a solo RPG. All at the same time because they're all the same project. And I need some ideas. A little background might help the question make sense: the game is played by...

It sounds like a cool idea - the game's climactic encounters might involve the acquisition of fame, fantastical treasure, and ecological collapse. You'd have to get the PCs to have some buy-in for one environment, though. Traditionally, PCs are happy to move on to the next challenge and...

6 characters are trying to murder the BBEG. I hope he's trying to murder you back. So, you're 'targeted' when your PC gets killed, but it's 'cheap' when you're compensated for feeling targeted? I'd feel rage - though the eyes of the henchman that I took over after my main character died. And...

There's something like it hidden in ENWorld too. But flowers need watering...

Well, the Arise Kickstarter mentioned that it takes place in 2027, so there IS a deadline coming up.

The first two rules are: I'm not allowed to talk about it.

Keep this up, and we'll start a GoFundMe for your new printer, Reynard!

I'm extra interested if the dwarves or dark elves have teams in the Mutant Football League.

This can be a big part. I'll do a "role-playing" run-through of Skyrim, trying to do what my character would do instead of just completing all the tasks necessary to finish the game. I still consider it video-gaming instead of role-playing, but there's a role-play element there. If anyone's...

Huh. I'd love to see more D&D players go, "I'm not ready, you go ahead," and "the fighter's down!? Cure wounds!" Sadly, I've sworn off 5e. And since there will never be another edition, I guess I just won't get to see that particular sunrise.

Pretty broad questions. If you don't get sufficient responses, you can probably browse the hot topics of the week to get a feel for this. I thought coming back after death was a "souls-like" thing, though?
