The "New"

One of the fun things about a text-based rpg is watching our players try new things--new character styles, new plot twists, new strategies, new ways of writing.

The "newest" comes courtesy of our Game Master. He's introduced "Rex," a new male character for season-5 (with an as-yet-unidentified agenda) and a very exotic twist. One of the ways in which readers/players will learn more about this character is through a separately devised weblog presented as "Rex's Diary."

The web-link for the new blog is included in the list at right. It's introduction makes this teasing promise:

Someone in the KTDARPG world has found a diary. Through it he'll

be telling his daily story--through his happenings in the rpg and

around the happenings of the game. He writes his diary addressing

it as if to his father who died from the adult-killing virus. He will be

telling his story through his diary as he sees the world, including

real world as well as in-game updates, gossip and information.

It's a bold experiment. Because the diary's not in-game, what's revealed there is not considered "bible" for the game itself. Yet the potential to go deep into one character's mind & how he sees the game-world around him? That's definitely new & intriguing.

Ah, but this IS our illustrious Game Master. He's been known on more than one occasion to twist us players--challenge us--as the game keeps growing & changing.

Be sure to check out "Rex's Diary." Then stick around & see where this particular twist takes us.
