Man, is there some kind of internal clock that makes you want to play old games or something? All this chat about Hedgerow Hall(is that spelled right?) makes me think. What do people like in a game like this, is it the roleplaying itself?

I doubt it, but it could be a smaller factor. People probably like the whole open-endedness and community feeling of it. I've never played it personally, and if I had a chance to I wouldn't, because i'm not into anthro or whatever you would call that. I've heard it called furry, i've only seen that when people describe the genre of RP they are doing or do. I'm pretty sure I don't need to have played it considering i've read all these in-depth descriptions of it recently.

It's kind of funny though, a lot of people talk about roleplaying when they describe it. Sure, it had enforced roleplaying, but I don't really think that's what gets people hooked. As i've said before, the open-endedness is key. That's what i've noticed about SS13, you can literally take what you want to out of the game and play it pretty much any way you want.

Officer Falcon's original creation, Deadly Waters, almost nearly enforces roleplaying, but I don't think that's what players like about it. They like the actual game, without boring you to death, I will decribe it as a 'teamwork based game'. From what I read, HrH is essentially a 'community based roleplaying enforced RPG'. My own assumptions of course. I try to use my blog in a productive way, I guess.
