Of course things never fully disappear, but this could bring them back in a big way. Back to the awareness of the masses. I wish papa-pepper all the luck with this project and to give it his best shot! I remember playing text based adventure games when I was a child and now they have added feature of multiplayer and monetary rewards. Very cool :)

You're not big in the roleplay scene, are you?
No, I have never tried it but I'm intrigued by the idea. I have even watched one youtube-series about it from geek and sundry channel. And I have noticed the increase of such activities around the world, if you're speaking of that and that's cool to see. People need to be more open minded and have fun.
I meant text based roleplaying.
It's a huge thing.
And honestly, you could even consider tabletop RPGs like D&D as Choose Your Own Adventure Text Games because a great many players actually put an extensive amount of effort into their characters and the Dungeon Masters put a ton of effort into the game and its options as well.
So really, it hasn't gone anywhere. It's bigger than ever. It just wears a couple different masks.
True, papa-pepper should aim to simulate D&D experience. Adding dice and stuff. And as it grows, some visual representation of scenes and characters.
I think that's completely over the top for how big this game gets.
I also think the game would lose its simple charm. Other people contributing to the experience seems to be a fantastic way to go about it, and there are visual representations of scenes and characters. They may not be elaborate, but they're there.
That might be. I haven't seen how the game actually plays out. I'll check out the next season.
Why make such big suggestions to "improve" it if you haven't even seen how the game plays out?
There's plenty of game history to go through. Just go back in @papa-pepper's blog posts.
And I doubt the trend will be changing, nerd culture is becoming mainstream with increasing rate and I've heard of even prisoners playing D&D campaigns to kill time.
