Lets Play Idea Drawing Board
« on: July 04, 2009, 11:54:31 AM »
Idea: 

Game:  Random level of Sins of a Solar Empire:  Entrenchement with a multi-system map, with the dialogue consisting of the narrarator reading a free Science fiction novel from the Baen Books free library - possibly Rats, Bats, and Vats by David Freer, or even A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo.  Both are fantastic choices and make up for the lack of story within the game itself.

If you could get someone else to read the book while you play, or voice-over the gameplay, that would be ideal, so that there are no "concentration" moments where the dialogue stops.

Interesting. 

I concur, but sadly will lack facilities to play the game for two more months.  Possibly will take up the project in september if no one decides to take the aegis before me.

Not a bad idea for a general LP.  One guy actually plays the game, another guy narrates and gives occasional snarky comments on the first guy's playing skills.

LP of a sports game done in the style of a sports announcer giving a play-by-play (bonus points if you do it all in audio, as if it were a radio broadcast) or a sports anchor commentator guy giving a summary of the game.

I'm thinking of LPing the old wisdom tree games while bitching about evangelicals. Would this be something people would actually want to see?
