Ahem. This game rules exactly like a tabletop RPG with a GM (me) and some players (the other six). It's not a freeform game or a MUD. Any extra players must submit a character to me first so I can work them into the storyline - We can't have characters suddenly materialising out of nowhere! Also new players can only join when the game reaches an appropriate place, and there's a limit to the number of characters I can handle as GM. -- Tim Hall, http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/timjh "The Very Big Stupid is a thing which breeds by eating The Future. Have you seen it? It sometimes disguises itself as a good-looking quarterly bottom line, derived by closing the R&D department"
If anyone on the list is interested in the FUDGE system, I have put up a set of alternative Kalyr rules on http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/timjh/fudge.htm At the moment, it's incomplete; I still need to sort out quite a few things about it I've got no immediate plans to switch systems either for this game or the Compuserve RPGAMES one, but if I get lots of comments along the lines of 'hey, this is really great' I might consider it.
My only comment is that in computer gaming the system is really pretty transparent to the players. So I don't mind either way. I think what ever is easiest for you is fine by me. And no this isn't a GM suck up message. It is just having run online games I know that the mechanics can get in the way, so I tend to be more liberal with them. -Pandemonium

And the beauty is, I could easily change the system without anyone actually noticing! -- Tim Hall, Timjh (at) csi.com * http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/timjh/cat.htm
Heck you could not use any mechanics and I am quite sure we wouldn't notice.-Pandemonium
