Paper and Pen Game Online

FlamingBoi

I bet many of you have played paper and pen games with your family or friends or whoever . And i think it is possible to play it over the net ( yes, im not a noob ) .. it is highly possible.

Ever been to any paint chats?.. You can select whatever you want and start drawing on something like a paint interface. I am planning to make a program where you open it, it will be sort of like a chat room, just that there will be more functions such as buddy list etc..

Firstly, i will recruit GMs , GMS are the ones that are going to use their creative mind to produce something intresting and good for the players. The GMs MUST have a tablet , so that he can "draw" out any detail that he wants to show his player , e.g : Drawing a mini knight, and drawing a HP BAR on him etc.. So, i think, this can be done ,

There cannot be too many people in one game because the GM will be having alot of problems trying to communicate with so many at a time.

So, there will be a main chat room. The GMS will create channels and each private room would allow only up to 4 players max. The players will then have the "paper and pen" game online , with the GM setting the game n stuff. And if someone leaves, another guy can just come in and be anything, it's all up to the player and GM. 

So, basically, the program is actually not a game, but more like a chat room with a drawing interface. Of course there will be much more function.There will be things that only the GM has, example, drawing tools but the player doesn't have drawing tools because he ain't setting the game. He is just playing.

And of course, in the main room, i will allow players to at least doodle maybe while waiting.. or somthing..

Now guys what do you think of this?

Any way to oncrease the popularity of pen and paper games is good. I think something like this could bring D&D'ers together from across the globe and help many people who dont have friends interested in games like this.

So if it works then good on you!

yea, just need to find a few programmers, this would probably be done in C++ , or maybe this could be a JAVA Application :0.. hmm.. this isn't really complicated isn't it? ... just a "quite" simple program but yet so powerful and so much fun

I cant do programming of any sort but i imagine it wouldnt be all that hard to create.

Just some chat, and possibly something to keep automatic track of characters, which saves a file to the users hard disk. also something to auto roll dice.

could even be hosted on this here site
