(Taken from a lot of RPGs by a lot of people)

This type of RPG is controlled by you, the creator of the topic, other players control only their character while you control the world around them, and is usually more structured with stats and well thought out skills. This type of RPG tends to be the dominant kind around here, as it is more structured and such.

This is a sample controlled RPG. If you create one yourself, you simply give a sign-up sheet, tell people the basic plot of the story as well as the starting point, and then they join. After they join, you must "introduce" them into the "world".

Ex: (Posted by the creator of the game) You start off in a small town called "Town". You can go check out the bar or leave the town.

(Posted by a character in the game) I'll go check out the bar.

(Posted by the creator of the game) You walk in the bar and you see 1 person. You can talk to him if you wish. What would you like to do?


You control the world around the characters, and the people who play control their characters. That is the ground rule. (hence the name, "controlled")

SAMPLE PLOT

A long time ago, there was an evil man. He took away some orbs that held the planet Earth stay in 1 piece. Now, random devestation is happening all over the world. Mystically, many people with hidden talents are summoned to fight this man, and get back the orbs which make the world go round. You start in a small town called "Town".

SIGN-UP FORM

Magic Attack: How much magic damage you do

SAMPLE SIGN-UP

Sex: Male

Weapon: Sword
Weapon Enchantment: Fire
Occupation: Warrior

Additional Info (optional): Guy is your typical RP character who may not look like it, but will save the world
HP: 100
MP: 100

Magic Defense: 100

After people sign-up, they have to wait before they begin posting. You give them a set-up and then they respond.

SAMPLE POST FOR A SETTING UP A PERSON

(Posted by the creator of the game) You start off in a small town called "Town". You can go check out the bar or leave the town.

(Posted by a character in the game) I'll go check out the bar.

(Posted by the creator of the game) You walk in the bar and you see 1 person. You can talk to him if you wish. What would you like to do?

(In a nutshell, the creator controls the world, and the players control their characters)
