Well there's been talk of all kinds of bots and scripts and wingdings that I have no knowledge about, but look forward to using the heck out of if it makes some form of tabletop play even easier through the Paragon Chat system!
Because of all the 'up in the air' about what will be possible for sure, I don't want to commit to how many members or such yet (depends if it shapes up more like a LARP group with player heroes and villains interacting to create their own stories and plots, or a small group of heroes (or villains) where I create scenarios for them to run through, and summon up NPC's for them to 'fight' (and I delete once they're defeated)... Again, not sure what's going to be completely possible in PC versus what we can do in Icon... and of course all the clever folks that are already starting to figure out all kinds of ways to work the system to do even more
Better yet, for those interested in something like this, which would you prefer?
Players doing actual heroes and villains creating their own plots (probably villain oriented, making goals for bank robberies and world domination and such that the heroes react to and foil, while dealing with their own lives and stuff- a-la Justice League versus Legion of Doom or X-Men versus Brotherhood of Evil Mutants kind of thing) working more like a 2 team co-op LARP (live action role playing group)
Pros: Can include a LOT more players. (that's a big plus in my book, for so many folks wanting to fight or commit crimes in Paragon again)
Cons: Large combats/events can be slow, particuarly at first while people get used to the rules, especially if arbitration is needed. (though I could get more 'arbiters' to help me with that if needed)
or
Small group of players being heroes (or villains) and I GM up stories for them, more like a tabletop group style but with visuals?
Pros: More concise story and direction, and everyone's their own star of the story.
Cons: VERY limited group size. Everyone would have to agree on a side (hero or villain)
I can't plan around all the details, but I'm pretty sure something like either of the above is possible regardless of any limitations, and can only be made better with any enhancements (pardon the pun) the clever technical folks around here can do.
Again, I'm trying to work availability for a few hours, Sunday or Monday evenings, Central US time.
Of course, anyone else wanting to do actually spearhead anything like this and lead on other nights, shout out here too! I may join your events as well, if I can!
