CS_TBL: uh, you mean: like 20 ppl join the club, and each person writes a number of functions, types and/or methods?or do you mean: 1 person codes the whole shebang, and like 20 ppl make up the story/characters/art?
No coding, I'm using phpBB v3 to manage the Forum. However, the game content is 100% User-driven.

Chroma: Huh? Can you expound on this a bit? You mean where people post what their character is doing and the DM posts the response? Kinda like RPG via email?
Something very similar. Most Forum-based RPGs I've participated in operate more like multi-user stories in which participants add to it. Telling the story from a third-person view.

This is not my goal. I'm striving for interactive gameplay similar to Paper & Pen Games. I want to players to tell their story in first-person and use dice rolls to determine outcomes. At the moment I'm not quite sure how to do this.

FlameDuck:I thought forums where RPGs.
I agree. Everyone here speaks from 'first-person' perspective and I want to try to capture this POV in the game.
