If you have never seen a forum based RPG before, there are some good examples at the following address
http://www.rpgdreamersforum.com/index.php?showforum=61
The basic idea is this: The creator person(s) makes a premise for a story, often with many details of a world for it to be set in. Interested players then generate a character and are approved by whoever happens to be in charge at the time. They then proceed to write sections of the story premised by the creator and centred round their characters, but including the characters created by the others if they happen to be there too. This continues until the story is complete, or until most of the characters drop out.
Does this qualify as alternate gaming?
