[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 5320752, member: 1"] So here's a really preliminary idea based on this thread. [B]CAMPAIGN MANAGER[/B] You can create campaigns or characters. There is a list of your current campaigns and characters. [B]Campaign[/B] - name, description, image. [B]Character[/B] - name, description, image, stats (a blank box), file attachment (if you wish to attach a CB file or your 120-page PDF character background). The two interact in the following way: [B]CAMPAIGN[/B] [LIST] [*]A GM creates a campaign, assigns a description, recruits players. [*]Players "join" his campaign with one of their characters. The GM approves or denies that join request. [*]He then has a list and details of the characters playing in his campaign. [*]He has an optional "lock" button with which he can prevent a player editing his character while playing the campaign (may or may not be used depending on whetehr the GM is the type to do so or not). [*]He has a list of dice rolls used in his campaign. [/LIST] [B]CHARACTER[/B] [LIST] [*]A member creates characters. [*]You can have multiple characters. [*]The system doesn't actually handle any stats - it's all just a blank text box and you can enter the character stats however you like (your GM may require a specific format, for example, before he approves your join request). [*]You can have a character join an existing campaign; the request goes to the GM who needs to approve it. [*]You can post as your character, which gives you a different post format. Instead of your username, avatar, location, post count, etc. on the left you see your character name, image, short description such as "Level 8 Eladrin Gardener", and a note which says "This is a character belonging to X". [/LIST]How does all that sound? Remember I don't PbP myself, so I won't take any offence if any of my assumptions about how it works are wrong. :) [/QUOTE]
