Interactive Gaming, Anyone?

I'm excited at what I'm seeing for interest in Interactive Games here at the Game Forum. Right now, we have one up and running, and it's a lot of fun. There has also been inquiries and interest expressed by several Gamers here, in threads and PMs to me, about either starting games or wanting to be in one. This could be a very exciting component to the Game Forum!

This is still, however, a rather new part of the Zone, so I wanted to first see what interest developed along these lines, and how many would actually be willing to Game Master such games. So before grand planning gets too far, lets have a quick poll:

How many would be interested in Interactive Gaming here at the Game Forum?

If you are interested in hosting a game, as the Game Master of said, that you've been interested in getting out there, let me know. The caveat here is, this has actually GOT to be a developed game that you can get folks up and running in...not made up as you go. A very good example of this would be Magna's game that he currently has up and running. If you haven't checked it out, go on over and take a peek. As Game Master, you would need to "run the show": answering questions, keeping the game moving, posting pictures of the battle map, and doing the moves as orders come in from the players. It's not a job for the timid, but it's not rocket science, either. But overall, it has to be structured...the game has to be something established...not a grand idea you hope will come together as you go.

If you're interested in playing in these type of games, but not that of a Game Master, also let me know. I want to see how many in the community would take part if we had several games going all the time.

There's a lot that can be done with this whole concept, but I think we first need to know who'd interested, both as a gamer and as a Game Master; and what you have to put out there. Let's hear from everyone on this. This could be very cool!
