Whadaya think of this idea?(my players stay out!)(LONG)

Close Ashrem, except that it's not that you're plugged into it, it's like Everquest with the possibility of Big Money. It's quite popular, a really big attraction; you can tune into nForce TV and see features on different top players, their characters and computers, etc., strategies they "guarantee to win!", etc.

But yes, it's got a very big following in my campaign world. Somebody suggested I should sit down and watch .Hack, maybe I'll do that.
And the modified D&D is what I was originally planning on using to run Nuras Online, with D20 Modern supplementing it(for rules such as Guns), as well as Four-Color to Fantasy.

An MSN Group might be the way to go.

Hey Ashrem, can you change the screen colors or anything like that on an MSN Group?

I don't know. I've never started a group. I don't think so though.

Ok. So how do you interface with the game? Virtual Reality seems like the best answer if you don't want to go with "brain jacks".

You can get VR if you want, but it's acquired a bit of a bad reputation among Gamehackers, since every reported instance of a Hack going bad and backfiring(causing the system to crash, usually giving a player a seizure; FYI, the Nuras Corporation has no liability for those, because you shouldn't be hacking the system anyway) has occurred with a player who used a VR system to play. A lot of the casual players use regular computers, and even a lot of the competitive players do to. There are no "brain jacks" though, at least not that anybody knows about. After all, as the reasoning goes, nobody could be THAT into the game, could they?
