[Rq-rules] RQ Play-by-email?

[Peter Maranci]

I've been getting the urge to do more roleplaying, and since it's impossible
to find RQ players in this area, I'm thinking of running a play-by-email (or
possibly a game on a LiveJournal community or something).

I'd want to use RQ, but obviously there would need to be some modifications,
since die-rolling would be difficult at best. I was thinking of possibly
trying to incorporate some of the concepts of Amber Diceless into RQ; I
remember being impressed by that system many years ago.

Basically, skills would represent differences in abilities. For combat,
players could decide what general approach they'd take: agressive,
defensive, balanced, or all-out in one direction or another. They'd also be
able to specify particular action, such as taking advantage of terrain or
preparing some sort of trick in advance.

Has anyone done anything like that? I'd like to hear about any use of RQ as
an online system.

Hmm...I think I may have asked the same question here a few years ago...

Incidentally, I think I mentioned that I was going to post a new scenario -
that one that I got so much advice on here a few weeks ago - for my site's
tenth anniversary. Well, the anniversary arrived (today), and I didn't get
to it. But I'll try and get it posted before next weekend.
