Wave and RPGs
Posted by nefchast on January 11, 2010
Can’s say too much has happened lately on the computer game front — I have nearly (level 48 as of writing) maxed a character in City of Heroes. Finally, after having the game for some 6 years (coming up) I’ve got a character almost maxed… Without getting bored and going off to another game (AE PL type missions, those saved the game for me).
In other fronts, as the title depicts, I’ve been looking into RPGs on Google Wave more closely. Even beginning to create an RPG from scratch with a friend. We’ve got some 25 pages of material on mechanics and such written out by now, but it’s still very rough.
One question I have for anyone willing to answer: Would you consider a game, that has you entering combat situations knowing you likely have a 50-50 chance of dying, fun?
As for Google Wave and RPGs in general — there’s enough gadgets and bots to turn the program into a real Virtual Tabletop. It’s awesome.

Okay, now I really need to get an invite to this “Google Wave” thingamabob, now. (Especially since my local game store is closed and thus I’ve lost any local source for some good old-fashioned dice-slinging.
