Welcome, one and all, to my Next Entry.

It's come to my attention that a lot of my readership consists of roleplayers, writers, and people who just love having fun. That, and some people have no idea what I talk about with some of the odd or different game systems I may occasionally mention.

So, I thought, what can be done about it? I've wanted to get into some kind of online RP that's likely to happen for a while now, and I've a good mind to introduce certain LJers who design bits and pieces of games to other systems that they can raid for ideas appreciate and enjoy.

[EDIT: Please don't be horrified if you've never heard of any of the four I mention. Have a look at them, if you'd like to, or leave it blank if you're not terribly worried about it. If you want, you can even pick the one with the prettiest name.]

Not just that, but this is also an opportunity for people who've never played before to jump in with no prior knowledge needed - all I'm asking for is an imagination. In fact, chances are it'd be easier for you to learn any of the four I mention below than it would for, say, a D&Der.

And so, here we have a poll!

[Poll #541908]

The existence of the above poll, by the way, is further evidence that [livejournal.com profile] lesslikeyou is awesome. *squish!*

Amazingly, I've never heard of any of those systems - but FATE seems closest to the free-form I do mostly, and Stickman sounds fun, for a casual thing.

I think I might even abduct some bits of Pace and use them for a kind of diceless FATE, with some of the bits and pieces that've been bashed out on the mailing list. There's rather a lot of very good stuff there, including a fun option to turn your own serious injuries to great advantage.

StickGuy sounds fun indeed. Icons as character sheets would amuse me greatly, but that's an entirely different StickTale. That amusement is easily the most important rule of StickGuy. :)
