Has anyone done an IF before as an ORP game?
Remember that board game Clue?
What if we could make it more of a 3D game?

This doesn't need to be Clue.
I was just giving you an example.

Someone else can start this.
I may join latter, possibly late in the game.

A response to this message would be nice.

None for me, thank you.

None for me, thank you.

Then what if you could make your own commands (plus some of these) depending upon your character?
For instance for a wizard:
Sleep Spell
A0 = All in the room (both humans and monsters)
A1 = One person (must be human)
A2 - A9 same (A9 includes monster)
Fireball
B1 = Kill when thrown (human or monster)
B2 = Stunned when thrown (human or monster)
Levitation
C0 n = Raise self and move north (can use e, s, w)
C1 n = Raise objects north of you (can use e, s, w)
C0 = Hover in air
C1 = Raise any objects seen
C2 = Move objects to self
C3 = Move objects to any players seen
Invisible Shield
D0 = Around self
D1 = Project 1 shield (impenetrable)
D2 = Project 2 shields (shields unstable)
Lightning Strike
LR = Lightning Random (stuns if hit)
Teleportation
TA = Teleport anywhere (can only be used after D0)
All wizard commands for one turn only, unless 0 is used (0 is like a free roll).

Basically, what I'm suggestion is an online Dungeons and Dragons, but any subject can be used.

Basically, what I'm suggestion is an online Dungeons and Dragons, but any subject can be used.

Actually, www.white-wolf.com has an awesome online roleplaying system for action-oriented games, with the added benefit of dice rollers.

I'm not a very D&D oriented player... was a VtM storyteller and player.. and VtR made me so.. depressed is the right word, at the limited game play it offered that I meant back to running a modern VtM room.

You might try White Wolf or one of the D&D sites for suggestions to help you out.
