Ok this is not me. it is from another thred, and was writen by another RPG'er

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The name stands for Role Playing Game. It is an interactive story involving several players. One person enters a post, such as:

Emwid cursed as he looked at the prisoners. Where was his sister? The cursed brat had escaped from among the others. But how? The secret pannels had been lost for centuries, he couldn't understand how she . . . Realization flared through his head.

"Captain Melwitz! Where is the Tobaoth Stone!? Bring it to me at once!"

"My lord," he said, a frown creasing his brow. "It has been missing since last night. At first we thought it was a natural accident, but . . ."

Emwid seized him by the throat and threw him back against the wall. "Do you realize what you've done! What you've allowed to do? She has escaped! My sister, the heir to the kingdom has escaped using that stone! If you'd told me before it could have been prevented! Can you possibly concieve of what you have caused . . . ?"

Anyway, there's the general idea of one post. You can be in charge of a particular character and other people are in charge of their own characters as well. One person sends a post, like the above and then another person sends another post, involving their character(s). Sometimes you involve yourselves in complex conversations with other players, and other times you actually make the conversation entirely yourself. It most of the way depends upon the importance of the conversation.

I'm probably getting more detailed than I have to. All you have to do is take a look at any one of the RPGs in this forum which are already made, and you'll get the general idea.

Simple as that eh? I was expecting all kinds of D+D rules and stuff. OK can I join any RPG already running on the entmoot or do I have to wait until another one begins, if so, when is the next one starting. (It's probably best I wait or I might not understand the storyline!)
