Roleplay Forum Plugins?

[ipomea]

So, I'm working on starting a roleplay forum with some combat mechanic elements.

I know there's the dice plugin from the library. I've seen it used on similar forums I've played on before. Lots of fun. Are there any other plugins you might recommend for enhancing the experience?

I was also wondering if there was something to help with PvE. Like, a plugin that can be used to make it a bit easier for staff to implement fighting NPC mobs. Something a bit more streamlined than a GM making fight posts and rolling dice for them.

Thank you for the help!

Hello.

Have you looked at the Creature Hunt II plugin by Todge?

Thanks! I just read some of the reviews, and it sounds like you could do a lot with it! Haven't actually made the forum yet though. Is there any way I might be able to test it out?

Hello.

Many forum owners also have a test forum they have for such things. You could create a test forum and install the plugin there. For a test forum, you could disable registration if you do not want anyone to join it. If you have a few people you want to have join for the sake of testing, you could enable restricted registration instead and invite just them. Having a test forum will allow you to test plugins and themes before you use them on a live forum.

That's a great idea! Thanks, I'll do just that.
