Gotta read through it and apply the appropriate rules depending on if you're a player or the Dungeon/Game Master (or DM/GM for short). The DM/GM is the one who runs the show, deciding what happens based on what you roll and what the story you'll be experiencing is. k, thx

Tabletop RPGs predate the computer/console RPG, but since they largely built the tropes which their digital cousins were established on, there are quite a few similarities. Smiliar to most digital RPGs, you control a character and interact with a fictional world, describing their actions performed, speech and so-on-so-forth. Unlike most digital RPGs, the world is not a static one, but is controlled by the actions of a game master (or GM), whose job it is to determine the outcomes of actions performed. Collaboratively, they work together to tell a story. Task resolution in a traditional RPG usually relies on die rolling to determine the overall success/failure of an activity. Attempting to persuade someone of something unbelievable, for instance might result in the GM requesting a relatively difficult die roll or check, while performing something easy might require no check. Usually guidelines on how to conduct checks and what rolls to make are provided by the game system, with further options left to the GM. It's not Pokeroll, but if you want a quick look at a role-playing game in action, you could check out Wil Wheaton playing the Dragon Age Tabletop Role Playing Game. Bit more comedic than I prefer, but they're having fun, really and that's kind of the point of it.

Not much of an issue otherwise). I've been wanting to try out something like this for a little while. The hilarity of having whole bunch of players who want to play and nobody who wants to run.

I'm in the middle of a DnD session with my College mates, so after that game (If anyone is still interested at that point), I could read over the rules of the project and try being a half competent DM. Arceas, won't that be a splendid thing...?
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.

Depending on how you're planning to run this, I'm on board. Though good lord, Time Zones are going to be a problem.
