Posts from RPG based on Might and Magic.

Discussions about organizing a forum-based RPG (FRPG) set in the world of Heroes have been ongoing in various threads. I propose organizing an FRPG based on Might & Magic. The overall plot will have an alternative history theme. The world of Enroth will be used, where the Reckoning did not occur. In light of the planned reforms for this forum, I suggest making the future FRPG a forum role-playing game called Heroes World. We plan to start the FRPG at the end of June or in July. Please share your opinions, wishes, and suggestions in this thread.

I’ve mentioned this before, and I’ll say it again. I’m in favor of an RPG that reflects the real history of the Might and Magic world. With real NPCs and real events. This, by the way, will help convey the history of the world to everyone who is unfamiliar with it. Therefore, I believe that “The Price of Loyalty” should happen!

The punishment will prevent you from learning about the world's history.

How exactly? The RPG could start at the beginning of the War of the Succession. Or even with Lord Ironfist. And it would continue until the Reckoning, after which it would transition to the world of Axoth.

What is your suggestion for a specific time period for the RPG? When does it begin?

Ideally, the best period would be from the beginning of the War of the Succession to Lysander's victory over Vorton. All of this could have happened within the lifetime of one generation, so the heroes could be the same. Alternatively, new heroes could be created after the Reckoning.

You don't need to start after Retribution. Enroth should be first.

good idea =)
some of the participants will survive the reckoning and end up in Axoth, while others... =))

I don't know the lore of the Might and Magic world... and what should I do if I want to participate? Will there be a strong emphasis on this? How will I know, for example, what should happen next and how I should act? (this question is not so much about me, but about all those who are like me - in general).

Well, if anything comes up, the GMs will help.

I have no doubt about that... ;) I've even missed RPGs a bit... It's very possible that I'll participate - if you make it playable - meaning no super-duper complex features and calculations like in advanced mathematics... because I really want to relax - and not strain my brain ;)

The system will likely be semi-classless. There might be skills, but there won’t be classes.

There's no need to worry that those unfamiliar with the lore will be at a disadvantage. Familiar events will still occur from time to time. Familiar characters will behave accordingly. And, of course, there will be GM assistance.
In my opinion, there's no need to create overly complex mechanics. It would be good to borrow the role-playing system from Might and Magic. It seems to me that it is optimal.

We still need to decide on the time period. How can we extend the game to last as long as AlexeyPunk suggested? The game shouldn't go on for too long, after all.

And I, to my shame, haven't played any FRPG games. How often do you need to participate, how do characters develop, what does the gameplay involve, etc...? Or are there rules for these types of games somewhere?
