-----Original Message----- From: Chuck Evans [mailto:bioriot at hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2003 4:44 PM To: Baj, B (Barbara) Subject: RE: RPG Computer RPG. I mean I don't want to follow any AD&D rules or anything, but something the community could play with in their free time. The game wouldn't have to have any real goals or major plot, but I was thinking it would be interesting to develop it like a multiplayer rpg, so that fans could interact and explore the world. Of course we could implement race selection and character development, but all based on the world of Dragaera. For example, a character could join the house of Jhereg and work his way up the ranks, or Phoenix Guards (all relative to whatever time the game would take place). Its all just speculation right now though. Again, I can't answer anything until I've been told no...I mean, yes!
