Inspired by the NSM RPG... Jub said that such a project would probably be quite a complex thing to do, so I thought, why not try something a bit easier and more up my alley?

Here's how I plan to do it: users can sign up as a character under a faction (I'd prefer to limit it to six four people per faction at most; also, choose whether you want to be a might hero or magic hero). After a number of people have signed up, we can decide on which factions will represent the "good" side, and which will not (depending on how many people sign up, I'd like 2-3 "good" factions, with the rest, possible 4+, being hostile to the good faction, and any others remaining being "neutral" or otherwise self-serving for story purposes). After this, we can suggest and vote for a number of broad story options (for example, a story suggestion would be "Quest to retrieve the MacGuffin that will enable the hero to do X," or "Venture through the unexplored lands to find X that will make your country rich" :P).

Along the way, as I'm writing the story and other events that take place, I'll ask the users how they want the story to progress (e.g. Let's say there's a certain mountain pass you have to cross. I would then ask users what should happen here, for example, would there be an ambush, would there need to be a particular item or other obstacle your need to clear before you can, or would the mountain be in the vicinity of an enemy faction who controls the area, etc.). Other decisions could be stuff like "Who will be a boss-like character/powerful hero/main protagonist?" "What terrain is the town on?" or "Is the area mountainous, forested, etc.?" Again, while this project will be much easier than a full RPG (and will likely be completed much quicker), it will be less available to the users (however, if we want, it could be posted elsewhere for others).

This project will be made for the fan expansion to Heroes 3, called Horn of the Abyss, because of the additional tools and resources it offers. To read about the game and factions, go here. To read about HoTA, go here.

So this is like D&D in the way you are telling the adventure like a DM?

Dungeon plz.

Dudeman

From what I can tell, it seems to be more like a fan mod of a fan mod. Er, expansion. Whatever.

Kind of. To clarify, it's essentially going to go like this:
1: Basic creative decisions are worked out.
2: I start making the map.
3: When I come to a part where a fairly important decision should be made (see earlier examples), I ask the community what they want.
4: This continues until the map is finished.
5: Balancing, additional flavor, etc. is added.

The game has a map editor that you can use to create maps.
