I been to many RPG's, and or forums, now that have had various types games aside from the regular posting. I have had a couple of ideas for things that we could put into play for Faethaven, but I wanted to get some of your guys' input as well.
I was thinking that I could introduce a few games directly into the story itself, as in you would post/play with your characters inside the RPG itself. Because of this I was thought that we could try a form of word association within our posts. It would add a little twist to an old and popular game as well as make the posts rather interesting as well.
An example:
Bob ran into Mary at the supermarket and quickly began raving about the dragon that was having tea on his house.
*in the example the highlighted word in green "dragon" would have been the next word in the association.
In that style of the game you'd simply have to highlight the word in a specific colour (possibly according to the particular association you're participating in) and make sure it's used properly in the sentence.
Another idea I had was a sort of mystery solving game within the RPG where your characters could participate in and solve. There could be prizes if people want for this one, but Sedaia and I would have to go over what those prizes would be (possibly things like items to give your character, more posts in order to possibly raise your rank, or something else).
For this one, I would introduce a "plot hook" that people could catch and follow into the game, following the hints and solving the mystery (don't worry the plot hook won't be that hard to see). The mystery will likely be difficult, but fun of course, simply to keep things interesting.
Anyway, this thread is to get peoples' reactions to the idea, but also to get some suggestions.
