Part of my #TabulaRasa #Roleplaying blog is still online. I miss #RichardGarriott's Tabula Rasa #MMORPG. We were generally roleplayers, many created RP blogs.

Long-lived General British!

Richard Garriott’s NFT-based MMO, Iron & Magic, appears to have vanished already https://massivelyop.com/2023/05/26/richard-garriotts-nft-based-mmo-iron-magic-appears-to-have-vanished-already #RichardGarriott #IronandMagic

@[email protected] That's true, and it is a good initiative. However, from a games' and gamers' perspective, the challenge the put forth is not ideal, and in most cases not doable.

Like those I mentioned, it's not possible to heal your enemy… and even if it is, who would do that in a game.

They want to challenge FPS gamers to do this and that, but FPS is not an RPG. In games like Guild Wars 2, we do have training dummies, and automatons. Those are the NPCs we kill to test our new build. But, again, it's RPG.

Hmm… I remembered a game made by legendary #RichardGarriott called #TabulaRasa. It is a third-person shooter set in an RPG world.

In that game, while it is all about shooting like any other shooter games, because of the RPG elements in it, we role-played based on the story. We did not shoot innocent NPCs. We did not blow up buildings even though we can. And yes, we did heal an enemy.

All because the game mechanics allow it, and the story is about humanity.

By popular demand (thanks to @vga256), have catalogued "The Official Guide To Ultima" into #TheVideoGameLibrary.

Both the 1st and 2nd Editions are listed. Everything you'd ever want to know about the saga circa 1992.

What's your favourite #Ultima game?

AKALABETH, the name AND locale was stolen from #Silmarillion?

Good lord, #RichardGarriott and #Ultima are really fucking unoriginal, aren't they

I'm building out a "West Marches" campaign for my OSE kid club. I'm totally stealing the idea of Moon Gates from #RichardGarriott / Ultima III! #borrowing #derivativefantasy #ttrpg #ose #osr

Also, Jesus was probably just the avatar of this simulation's bored programmer.
I mean, just look at what happened to #RichardGarriott's #LordBritish in #UltimaOnline. ;)
