Nerd time: is it bad that I want to design a PnP RPG that would work for Halo/RvB?

Answer is probably yes, I realize. But I made that Sonic one and even if Mandy and I never finished the campaign, it was a pretty sweet game. Would've worked a lot better in person instead of online, but that's sort of a given with PnP anyway. So while I doubt I'd ever actually play an PnP Halo game? I just sort of want to... make a system for one.

Okay, I'll stop spamming you all with useless nonsense now. I should probably work on Aphelion instead.

Edit: Heyyyy, someone already made one. Sweet.

PnP can work over the internets too. I run an FFRPG campaign and I've been in DnD / others that turned out to be fun

Yeah, well like I said, Mandy and I did one for quite a while. It's just a lot slower than it is in person, and I really think you lose something in not having face-to-face interaction in a PnP game. But obviously you have to sacrifice that if you want to play with people you can't see every week. XD

Yeah, but it has the plus of being more coherent (you can write stuff out instead of saying MY CHARACTER DOES THIS 8D) and, story-esque maybe? To me PnP is like as collaborative story, the GM is the writer and the players are the characters. :D;

But yeah, that's true :B;

Oh yeah, for sure, as far as the GM and player relationship goes. In my experience, both online and face-to-face PnP games are evenly story-oriented, too, but it depends a lot on the GM. The only reason I'm talking about GMing and having a character in the comments above is because typically the PnP games Mandy and I have been doing online are run with just the two of us, and it'd be boring to have just her character and a bunch of NPCs.
