HI Dark,
I hear you there. That's precisely why I was throwing the Star Wars
RPG game idea out there for people to ponder. There aren't that many
RPG games for a blind gamer to play and what games there are are lax
on story, focussed on pvp play, and grind, grind, grind. Thus far the

Hi tom.
Your experience in that starwars game sound distressingly familiar. I've
been searching for a decent text rp game for a long while precisely for this
reason, and most things I've found have either been so fully of other
players bent on pvp you can't engage in the story, or, have so lit
Well... The two favorites for me are the side scroler, and the entombed

Hi Clement,
Hi Pitermach,
Well, see that's the problem with something like Star Wars though. Its
grown way beyond the original books and movies. There are several
different series, several books, cartoons, games, and comicbooks.
There is so much history and so many expanded characters that it would
be impossi
Hi Dark,
Same here. While I love RPG games I'm not really into the pvp aspects
either. Like you I am a loner and prefer to play the game world as a
single player. If I'm going to play something like Star Wars the Old
Republic I want to enter that world as a single player. If I'm a

Hi Phil,
Right. I certainly understand your point of view. Sadly this is yet
again another clear example of how far we have to go to catch up with
the mainstream in terms of gaming. You certainly have a valid point,
but as I said since I've been there and done that already, so to
speak, its less a
Actually tom personally I don't particularly have any interest in pvp.
The modern rpg games that I'd most like to play are things like Dragon age,
the dragonlance series, and yes final fantasy, those which are not based on
some sort of online pvp interaction with other people, but are based on

Well, I don't know if new games aren't as fun as they use to be, but
you are right about them becoming more complex. Just looking at the

30 years.

Hi Clement,
I've noticed. My wife wants us to buy a WII since the games are mainly
oriented towards family and kids, and she's not exactly into violence.
So something like WII Sports and Sports Resort are right up her alley.

That's what Nintendo consoles are good for. Actually, a wii would

Yeah, that's true. There have been a number of new side-scrollers

Hi,
Agreed. Side-scrollers, to be honest, were really huge in the 80's and
early 90's, but have been largely replaced by First-Person action
games, and more recently supplanted by huge multiplayer MMO/RPG games.

makes sense. I dunno... maybe I just miss old beat em ups. I'd love

I've always thought you do what others want regardless of what you want from

While I agree a game based on the Yuuzan Vong war would be cool I
