Free form game
Hello everyone.
I posted something like the following in the beginners forum and was advised to come here.
I am looking for a game (preferably fantasy based, but I would enjoy sci-fi too) that is very focused on the writing component and is original. I don't mind something that is based on an already-established universe such as Lord of the Rings for example, but it would be ideal not to be confined to a pre-established universe.
So, I guess my preferred game would be something that is almost akin to a collection of people writing a story together, which is limited only by imagination. Obviously, it would have to have some type of game system to add the element of real life action and consequence that would ultimately help drive the characters.
One response described what I was looking for as a collaborative novel, which as I think about it more sounds like a good descriptions except that I am not asking for something quite so formal. I don't want to intimidate people who might not consider the,selves great writers, I am just looking for something that emphasizes the writing and creativity but is still fun.
Why don't I just start something myself? I am not overly familiar with the various gaming systems to be a DM.
Does anyone know if there is something starting or that has started and is seeking players that fits what I am looking for? Or is anyone reading this and has had his or her interest piqued to maybe start something or collaborate on starting something?
Looking forward to your replies.
