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.

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.
