You may be wondering what the difference is between the two role play forums. Well to put it plainly here it is:
Linear
-All characters in separate campaigns can meet and interact.
-Allows for play without your specific DM since multiple campaigns are in progress.
-DM's work more so as moderators of small groups of players, this will prevent rules from clashing with each other.
-There will be one WDM (World Dungeon Master) on each Linear Forum. They will be the DM who covers all the world wide issues and has more power than the DM's.
Non-Linear
-Each campaign is in a separate world per say. Players from one DM's campaign can not interact with ones from another DM's campaign.
-All RP for a single campaign is done in one thread.
Currently Linear campaigns is a theory. In fact I've thought of 3 ways to execute it, each better than the last...
Current best execution:
Each DM would be a moderator of their own kingdom. This will allow for the creation of their own dungeons, cities, and miscellaneous places. In theory, DM's would have to meet with each other to discuss world changes and other things... such as a villain so powerful he's a threat to all kingdoms, bringing many individual players together to fight it. DM's would also have to meet to set down rules about crossing over into another kingdom they don't regulate. This is still just a theory, until a better way is discovered.

Is it weird for Mobius to say the Linear sounds more non-linear, by definition, than Non-Linear?

Its not weird...but by definition in one since your right, but if you look at the logic, no your wrong. you see linear would be a single story world, you MUST start at first level, the world itself may or may not change, non-linear would be like a free play mode on a video game, what you do has no true effect on the actual gameworld, sure the missions would be scripted by the dm, but once you beat that evil lich....what then? you destroyed his phylactery...so what now?once its the end of the campaign after getting your honors from the king, your character ceases to exist until reused...if ever used again.
I hope that explanation suffices. if ya don't like it mods, I'm sure you can delete this post ^_^
