Hey everyone, long time listener, first time writer.
My reason for breaking my far-gazing and actually writing today is I had what I thought to be a good idea for another P_A type of D&D game...an online game. I do this partly because I live in Taiwan, and have almost NO chance of really ever doing much more than online interaction with you all...and partly because I'd love to play D&D with these great DMs.
It would go like this:
Contestants would design a first-level character with various background stories and concepts.
Characters would be judged, selected, & cut by a panel of PA-approved judges.
Players that make the final cut would have to be available to play at all scheduled game times.
The game would be played via web-conference or virtual gaming service. Details to be hammered out, but for things like die rolls, one solution could be that each player could have a separately cammed boxed-in area so rolls could be authenticated.
Firstly, this would rock, but it would also raise awareness for increasingly popular online tabletop gaming platforms, be a good plug for the tech used during the game, and a demonstration of the versatility of 4E D&D.
I'd love to have a chance to game with you all. So, let me have it...good idea or not? *prepares action to dodge potential raspberries*
