Minimal Roleplay? Like MUSH but ….

[lategamer]

I have to say, with the nonsense of rpgmatch and the big purple, this was quite refreshing

A new way to roleplay — Minimal Roleplay

A fully text-based, asynchronous online role-playing interface. Allowing you to write stories and play TTRPG games with your friends.

I’ve signed up and will be running something using it. What do you think?

So play by post. Now with more flair! It looks pretty cool at first glance. I like PbP a lot so I signed up.

Being able to build custom character sheets is very cool. So far I like it.

I prefer browser based like Gamers Plane to app based.

This says it can also be used in browser?

It does indeed, I’ll just go back under my rock.

Looks interesting. The asynchronous part suggests it may not be geared toward my hypothetical online Rolemaster campaign.

Looks interesting. I'll give it an in-depth look later today.

The more options the better, I say. On the other hand, while the setup looks simpler I'm wondering why I should choose it over, say, Discord.

Well I get the feeling from clicking around that it allows for solo play and choose your own adventure. Not to mention dice and character sheets.

Sure. You can use Discord. But You could also use forum software, WhatsApp, etc

How they tailor it to a TTRPG I guess is the interesting part.

Well, I set up an account just to stake out my digital territory.

Setup UX definitely needs QA. It's not difficult, just dumb and broken.

 

[lategamer]

Yeah there’s definitely a pattern I’m not grokking. Setting up stuff on mobile is an exercise in guesswork.

Which is a good point. As I said, "more is better" but in this one specific case I was trying to find the advantages other than another option. When I looked at it I wasn't seeing them. Solo play, though? Totally hadn't thought about that.
