    This thread has lost any semblance of it's original purpose.

    Ehh, not quite. It's purpose was to give people a game in which they could play a sort of dungeon, to advance plots and give a decently fun pastime. I think it's purpose is still kinda here.

    I just meant the fact that it's no longer about the game and is now just about puns.

    Ryn, that's because I'm male, that wouldn't be physically possible.

    But can't the submissive guy in a gay married relationship act as the mother?

    Anyway, I really like the idea :3

    Here's something that I picked up a long time back from the interwebz

    Carpa D.M

    Get it? GET IT?!

    Woops, I meant
    Carpe D.M, not Carpa

    Well, the original phrase is 'Carpe Diem' meaning 'Seize the day'. The Latin version of 'YOLO'.

    D.M = Dungeon Master

    D.M sounds like Diem.

    Carpe D.M

    Looking over the actual idea, i gets a meh/10. I could see it being enjoyable, but I personally wouldn't be interested in an over simplified pen and paper. I kind of started being a snob when my IRL crew started getting into some systems that allowed for better RP than we have on the server, since there was so much depth in the character creation and progress.

    I'm also not a fan of "boardgame" style crawls. I had a bad time with Candyland once, so cards put me off.

    Overall it is a well thought out idea, but I wouldn't really be motivated to look much deeper since it isn't my sort of pudding.

    you should look at the traveler/megatraveler system for random characters, I once got a voluntarily homeless woman because she wanted to escape her abusive father who had killed her mother(who is now HAUNTING her), and that was just the first eight years we rolled up
