I palyed with the thought for a long time already, but now I wnant to know: Would you guys be interested in a board about RPGs in general. With sections for the most successful series etc... Would that be something you'd register for and post in?

Would you maybe even be willing to help to run it by posting articles, news, spreading the word about it,...?

Let me know by using the poll and maybe write something (especially if you're interested in participating)

(it wouldn't be part of THIS board)

I hope you aren't surprised if I say, I visit this site because I really look forward to playing Redemption and any other Ultima-based projects. I appreciate the fact that I have been able to share some thoughts here and didn't get a lot of criticism about it, something which happened to me at rpgdot. Well, some of that was due to the fact that I criticized a lot of recent games because of the direction the industry had taken the technology, to improve the appearance, but not the immersion and interactivity as the Ultima series had done.

I would have thought this "Role Playing General" area would have been enough, but if you prefer we discuss non-Ultima games and ideas somewhere else, of course I would go along with that, too. Could you add a choice "Yes, I am interested, but only if we can't discuss it here"?

I am glad you are looking forward to Redemtiona nd of course I am aware that people visit because of it.. and that's how it should be since this is of course mainly the forum for our projects.

So a new forum completely dedicated to RPGs in general would allow a much more diverse discussion about those games (various sections like for series, for making up your dream RPG etc).


Teh goal would be to create a somewhat "mature" board which allows "serious" discussions (while still trying to keep it lighthearted since it's all about games which should be fun).

Hm, I voted yes but I'm a bit undecided. While there aren't that many boards dedicated to good RPGs everything that may distract you from your work on Redemption should be avoided. It's probably not easy to gather enough people to enliven such a board without something that attracts them like a good newssite.

Don't worry, all the time such a board would cost me would be my "official" work time (which I also use for talking with Zini & Co about the game design, so *sshhhhh* Wink ). It would not slow down, or speed up Redemption.

I would apprechiate help though, because yes I do have some spare minutes at work, but not enough to go through various news pages etc.. to collect all the information needed to make such a board interesting.

Hm, I doubt that a newssite could do a better job than RPG Watch and their forum isn't exactly overcrowded. RPG Codex has a very active forum for people who want to discuss RPGs and can stand the heat there.

Maybe it would be a better idea to develop this board into some kind of Ultima-Hub. A place for old and new Ultima fans with a Ultima related newssite (with a collection of links to all the scattered Ultima sites all over the internet) and subforums for the classic games, Mod projects (not only Redemption), other RPGs and the possibly upcoming new Ultima game from EA. Especially if there really comes a new Ultima such an Ultima-Hub could attract a lot of people. Just an idea.

You know what, you are right.

I will make thsi into some kind of Ultima hub and create a german only RPG board since there is no really good one in german.
