Okay as you all know I've posted my idea of a Tron RPG which I was thinking about doing. Well because of all the positive feedback I feel that I have no choice but to go ahead and Develop the game. Website design will start this Saturday, I will post updates when they happen I will put the website up as soon as the basic layout is done so you can watch the development live and dont have to wait for me to post whats new.
Basic Theme of the Game:
You all probably wanna know how this game is going to be played? When is it set? Well in this part of the post I will try and answer these and alot of other questions.
Firstly:
I have had alot of experiance making RPGs I have made a Dragonball Z rpg which was highly popular, however due to the size of the RPG with over 50 members it was crushed under its own weight.

I also made a Transformers RPG which never took off due to the fact I started university but its my hope that it does take off.

Tron will work the same as these games, forum based where players role play as their characters. There will be two main sections of these forums: Real world and the Digital World.
In the Real world we role play as the Users, this side of the RPG will carry most of the reasons behind the plot aka why things are going down in the digital world.
The Digital world is where most of the action will take place but will probably be the larger part of the RPG.
Time scale: As we know a program can spend hours in the digital world and it would only be a few seconds in the Real world, as the RPG develops there will be rules applied to try and simulate this effect.
Now as I mentioned in a previous post All players can set up there own personal forum which will be their computers that are connected to the Encom System in some way. In these forums the player who owns that computer will be the Games Master. Now while I was at work I sat and thought about this, to make it a little more interesting if your computer at home has a virus on it Please Post it in your section. Make an event out of it so that if there are any programs in your section they get a little virus killing action plus it makes the RPG that little bit random.
How will is the game run?
Well firstly I will be the overall GM this is only so I can add things to the website and just keep a general eye on things. But! there will be a set number of Games Masters other than myself this will be 5 at first and if the game really takes off then I will make more.
These 5 are voted for by all players, votes can happen as often or as little as players want. If they are unhappy with one GM they can call a vote for him to be replaced.
What are the advantages of being a GM? well firstly you will get to write stories for the RPG. And secondly your User character will be some one high up in the chain of command at Encom
This helps for RPing. And also you just generally get a lil power mad from it LOL
How will fights be worked out?
Simple well ish. Battles happen in Rounds, each Round will have 4 turns. Every battle will be assigned to a GM (an equal amound unless a GM has alot of fun writing battles and thats all he/she wants to do) All players who are part of this battle must send in a Stratagy for 1 round (four turns)
For Each turn you can set a defensive or offensive action. Be careful!!! whoever has the higher Initiative goes first! To make sure things a little more fair you can set an offensive and Defensive move for the first turn, this is because if I have a high Initiative and set up for a defensive move and I see my opponant is not going to attack because of my higher Initiative I can use this chance to attack.
Example of a Strat:
Tron
Turn 1:
Offensive: Tron will use his high speed to locate the best stratigic location of the battle field to strike from.
Defensive: Tronabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion
