Title: FreeSpace 2 RPG Online
Post by: Shrike on December 08, 2001, 01:38:00 pm
Alright people, I've got a ruleset from a Wing Commander RPG (//"http://ww.wcrpg.com") that I'm part of, and am in the process of modifying it to fit the FS2 universe.  Not that there's that many changes to do, it's mostly just incorporating beam cannons and putting in all the FS ships.

So the deal is, I'm looking for a few people to give this a test run sometime in the near future.  If you're interested in getting involved with the testing and/or the actual game once it gets started.  Some information, it's played on mIRC, and each person takes on the role of a pilot.  There's combat, interpersonal interaction, intrigue and beam cannons!  All those fun FS things we love!

So if you're interested, contact me via email or (prefferably) over ICQ.  My ICQ # is 69252960

have you ANY idea of how much trouble you're in?
assault on a police officer.
Theft of police property.
Illegal possesion of a firearm.
FIVE counts of attempted murder.
That comes to...

twenty-nine dollars and 14 cents.
cash, cheque or credit card?

So, it's basically like DnD in space.  Alternity........, that was a good space RPG.  This sounds like a neat and l33t Idea.

Anyway, I'd love to do it, but I can't log onto IRC at all  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

Yeh, funny hey? Complete coincidence. Noting that, I think I've seen at least 6 Terran destroyers named 'Deliverance' as well as a few billion various ships and mods called 'Thor'.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Boy... RPG, huh... but so much stuff to do...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

The reason why WC:EoC may sound familiar is because Darkshear (sp?) did models and renders for them (if you can't remember him, he's the guy that won the first modelling contest, with the podfighter entry, if I remember right).

Alright, I've gotten a fair bit of interest, so I'd like everyone to either post here when they can be online for several hours, or else contact me with the data.....

Apart from that, it has the same subtitle as IW2.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Gonna build a web-based portal for it? That would be a good idea.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Bah! I don't have MIRC thanks to the format and couldn't log into Dalnet even when I had it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Maybe a java chat room done up for it would work? (I'd love to participate, but...)

Sorry, I would have shown up but I was occupied with an allergy skin-test thing at that time. (will probably have to get periodic allergy shots for some health issues I have but I think they wanted some more data first (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif))
