These RP games are a lot of fun, but so far no one's managed to get one going in Dominions 3 (including the one in this rather aged thread). I think the closest is the "global war" game now going on. But I may have missed others.

Wow, I just noticed that this thread is over two years old...

Do you need a server to host the game? I would be able to host by email, and I'd be willing to to get such an awesome game off of the ground! Seriously, we NEED to do this!

I think I'll start a thread for the game soon! Call it 'The Council, a RP game' or something like that.

The problem with an RP game is that the more people you get into it, the more definitions of RP you end up with.

But there are a number of threads in this forum which are almost entirely RP posts which I consider very fun to read. The estimate on getting back my big server (able to handle a game like this in direct tcpip connection mode) is 1 week. Since it takes about that long to discuss all the particulars to a final answer, someone might consider kicking off a thread now for such a game.

You're also very welcome to use my automated PBEM server. One way or another, finding a server to host shouldn't be a problem.

True. But if you keep it simple and let people do nearly approximation of role-playing they want, then even after half of them stop RPing (and they will), it will still be a lot of fun. Heck, you can go a long way with nothing but 3 or 4 people posting elegant taunts and pompous proclamations.
