Hello everyone,
I'd like to draw your browsers to this recent gem of a game I've found, Ruler of Kings. Do you want an epic story-driven RPG game like Sryth, with the possibility to add text to the game itself? Have you ever played forum Play by Post roleplay, but frustrated because players would drop out, wouldn't respond or standards were just too high for you?
In my few hours of playing this game, i've found that it makes roleplay enjoyable. The game combines a story-driven character creation system with an intigrated forum, so when you do stuff in the game, your character thread is updated with stories that you write that are approved by the DM. Even when not writing, there is quite a bit of lore within the town itself, such as NPC histories, asignments, which are like miniquests, quests themselves, which apparently are pretty long--assignments are what the normal quest is in any other RPG, etc. I myself just got done writing a story on how my character met my advisor. Kind of like King of Dragon Pass, this person you create will help you throughout the game and/or tell you that you're on track.
What happens when a person becomes a king? I'm not sure whether it'll reset, or if someone can just take the spot at any time by killing the king or otherwise getting him off the throne... not sure how that works yet. I do like it thus far, though, particularly the forum intigration and it's easy learning curve.
