If you guys dont mind too much I would LOVE to operate it as the GM/DM (Game Master/Dungeon Master, whatever youi want to call it). We could have each person do their own things whenever they want, I could be the NPC's. It'd be good stuff ;D

Permission from Cobra and I could make it.

i don't really understand what you said but
i only care about one thing i don't want any magic or monsters or anythings like that.

Of course. When someone says DM, they usually refer to D&D, but its the name of the person that controlls whats going on.

So if the RPG had a DM, it'd be.... well we dont really have one ;D But DM just means its the person who controlls whats going on.

And an NPC is a Non-Player Character. Basically I would control everyone but who plays (like cops).

yea, npcs are just people in general. and a DM/GM is basically the puppet master who controlls everything thats going on, besides the actions that your character in particular do.

but weve never played an online RPG with a DM before. that would mean you have to post very often and you would also have to know whats going on woth all of the characters and stuff. i guess if your up to it, but im not really sure how and online DMed game will turn out worth a shot, i guess. and if it doesnt work, then you will be shot.

and no matt. i will personally make sure that the GTA RPG will have no magic, monsters or *ahem* 'unique' characters so to speak.

Hey, I tried to DM the the town in the rpg and look what happened. The thing is, even if we do have a DM I'm afraid you guys dont listen to him (like you did with me).

[copyKatt]

well, im pretty sure if one of the rules of the game was "follow the DM" things would be pretty different. and not many people knew about what was going to happen, like... lets say... me for instance? no one told me anything about anything, thank you very much. i played by ear. you guys gotta remember i dont talk to you all that often and my psychic abilities to read your mind are kinda rusty. so dont blame me, bughunter. (not saying you were targeting me in particular or anything)

[BugHunter]

the thing is, you have to be able to recognize when there is a main person telling the story, even if he doesn't tell you he's the DM. Then you should follow accordingly, not jump ahead.

Seriously, Bug Hunter, if you want to be the DM, you really do have to tell us. Sure we could recognize that you wanted us to do certain things, but coming out with it outright is always a better idea.

[DOOFY]

i think will is gonna set up the GTA rpg, we talked about it and we came up with some good ideas.

[copyKatt]

yea, im definatly all for it. guess what job im gonna have?

[palla]

I'd like to play, but Matt would need to help me with my character.

[DOOFY]

why me?

This weekend ill pretty be on from noon till 3 in the morning(in your time). If you got on tomorrow I/we could set up each character, I could make a basic map of the city, key locations. If we do it good we can get it up and ready to go by next week.

[copyKatt]

neato ;D

[Cobra5]

Uh... oops.

I didn't read this thread untill AFTER I made up all the stuff I did... stupid me. I hope I didn't ruin your plans or anything.

I am, personally, opposed to a GM Idea. The whole apeal of GTA is how open it is, I say let the characters control the NPCs and comunicate to eachother.

And sorry again if you really wanted to do this. Ford asked me to start working on the RPG, I said "Cool ideas!" So I made a map and a char and stuff... and I didn't even check this thread first

All right, all ferther discution of this topic is to take place in the proper thread, now that it is created.

back to gaming. Whats the next game you all want to buy? Mine is Soul Calibur 2. Man that looks cool!
