Think an RPG mod on the forum would be fun?

Do you think this forum will want to support adding the RPG element to it?

I just recently began playing with this function on my own personal forum, it seems like it could be some fun...very customizable and might actually be quite fun if it's set up correctly. :P

LINK to phpbb.com and the above mentioned rpg mod stuff.

I have it running on My personal forum, if you want to take a peek. it's pretty dead there though, just seems like me and a good friend of mine talking to each other....hah. :!:

oh, you actually have to register for my site to get to play with it though.

Yeah, it's not like a full-fledged RPG or anything, but it does have all the little things that make it RPG like.

* Gain money for posting, replying, etc....
* Gain some experience for posting and winning battles
* Spend your money on items, armor, weapons to make your forum character better.

Plus you can fully customize everything it seems:
Races, Classes, Items, Shops, Arenas, The money. That's all the stats of everything as well. Plus the one i'm testing is in a "beta" state. It's supposed to get better real soon with Random attacks from monsters, and battles with monsters in the arena (so you don't have to have another Forum person willing to get in on the fun.)

Plus, if the RPG aspect of the Forum pisses anyone off, they can decide not to participate, and even turn off all the extra RPG stuff so they can't see it. I just thought I'd let others know of it's "possibilty" incase they'd like to have something like that on here... :lol:

The only real bad things right now, is some of the graphics are a tiny bit buggy at the moment. It looks like early nintendo, with tiny graphics. And it's not really fast paced, the battles could take days unless both opponents attack each other fairly often (which is turned based, and you can imagine turn-based in a forum setting :roll: ). It's really bad on my little forum (I've been waiting 2 days for my opponent to attack me back right now :P ).

I went to this "darkmonkey" site, it's seems like it has alot of users, but i'm not sure he's really set it up good, I didn't get any money for posting, so i'm not sure how he works it there... :?

yes, i know darkmonkey is the creator, but his site doesn't seem like it's shows off everything he's made functional...which is odd.

No abttles and such, though. Just money and items to buy, along with avatar and title privileges / styles.

Well, it depends really on if obo feels up to it...the coding is already done, and comes with detailed instructions on what snippets of code to add where in the php files that run the site. It took me about an hour to add this to my little phpBB forum. Then once it's working anyone who is an admin can tweak the RPG system from the admin control panel.
