The GM doesn't just give the player text; they also provide options for different situations.

Hmm... the essence of text-based games is that the player determines the chosen option. Sometimes, it can even surprise the GM. So, it seems like a strange idea to me.

Basically, I realized that deviations from the standard format aren't really needed, so I'm stopping.

Why?!

Okay, I understand that you only need widgets for calculations, as everything else is inconvenient.

Well, just chat rooms, yes, it might be a little unusual (although I would still try it if you create them). But everything else looks not just interesting, but very interesting.

The option to choose is a questionable decision. It’s an unnecessary limitation for players.

For you, yes, but for the rest, I think a regular forum format would be more convenient.
However, I won't delete what I've done. Maybe I'll come up with something else in the process.

It is possible to create a program that would store a database, allowing players to access it at any time and view the map, quests, and current NPCs.

Guys, you'll laugh, but I have a new idea for an expansion.
I'll leave the mechanics as they were last time, but I'll change the FACTIONS; they'll all be based on humans, and maybe I'll allow players to freely distribute stats. Is that a good idea? Or should I create a set for a mafia theme with masks?
I just feel like tinkering.

It’s not worth it.

they will all be based on humans

Good news.

We could create something... maybe even Mafia, which might be better, because there will probably be a lack of people willing to organize it again.

I was rummaging through my shelves and found a homemade RPG tabletop game that I and two friends used to play a lot in high school and early college. I looked at it and thought, "Hmm, this is an idea for an expedition!" Honestly, I don't know if anything will come of it, because the idea is very specific and quirky, but I haven't put so much heart and soul into anything else in my life. So, if at least 4 people play it, I'll already be happy. I won't say anything specific yet, because I still need to think about it and refine it.

Overall, I don't regret not starting the game earlier. I recently re-evaluated my approach and priorities, and as a result, 50% of the work I had done turned into 5%. If I ever finish it, it will be my most ambitious project.
