I've RPed on mIRC before. And again, I was thinking of RPing every aspect of U-Boat men. Both on the boat and when in port in between patrols.
And no not strictly pen and paper, But yes dice-rolls for some things. depending on your skill in your particular field as well as a touch of luck. But not obsessive pen and paper like AD&D. Problem with Pen and Paper is that it's all a chart war really, it's just one combat after another with no role playing. What I'm thinking is more of a story approach. Like a novel that everyone participates in with their own character. Though keep in mind, not everyone can play captains. At least not in the same story.
This is basically people who know the world of U-Boat life. RPing not just the convoy attacks. But also dinner, off-duty hours, etc. Use your imagination. the RPG is completely text. It's your ability as a writer as well as your fertile imagination that can make something like this enjoyable as well as interesting.
If no-one is interested in doing a real-time RPG on IRC there's also a Forum thread RPG where people post their part of the story as time goes. These are just little ideas we can do for fun.
