There's a Swapnote RPG Waiting to be Played

Wow, creative
Of course you'd have to be friended by whoever's stuff you wanna play...

I can imagine making a MSPA-esque adventure, with your friends replying with suggestions.

Looks pretty cool, actually.

Finally, some notes that are worth opening!

@4 I agree with that so much!

265 coins..... I want his 3DS.

i do not have a clue what to do

Whilst I don't see myself playing this, I think it's an absolutely brilliant innovation. It's just the sort of thing that should be happening with a handheld like the 3DS. I can't see any reason why Nintendo would object, but I hope they do appreciate this type of development and use of their software, rather than trying to squash it.

That's kinda cool. I'd like to play something like that one day with Swapnote.

That'd be super cool if I contacted a GM... But it seems like tons of work

Hey everyone, this is Ben, the guy who made the video. A friend of mine tipped my video here. Thanks! Also to answer some questions/comments:

@1: That's true, but I'm sure people in this very comments section might swap friend codes to play with you. Never know, right?
@4: LOL. It is a nice diversion from the odd and perverse notes. Then again, you could encounter a wang-monster!
@6: NO! I just make sure to carry it every day to class...and well basically everywhere I go. Coins add up.
@7: I'm going to make a clearer tutorial video in the future. Basically, you use the template above to draw out rooms. Sprinkle in details like monsters, treasure, etc. As the DM, you simply reveal the starting room to the player and wait for their response. Reveal more areas as they uncover them. Make more sense?
@10: Maybe you and Geonjaha could each take a turn being the DM/Player. You know, a quick draw run to see how it works.

Thanks to everyone else for the kind words. Please keep the comments coming, especially ideas to make the game work faster and smoother.

-Ben "MNC Dover" Gray

Well someone hasn't spent many coins. This does sound fun but I'm unfamiliar with this kind of rpg.

edit: @MNCDover - Great idea, the more you can explain this the better as I love an rpg but have never played dungeon and dragons or anything similar. Also that's how I got my play coins, then I bought puzzle pieces, my 300 lasted a day and a half.

Ben, you are a genius!

This is insanely awesome, I love pen and paper style RPGs. Very innovative. =D

Neat idea. But I'm not really into this. Am willing to try new things, but this... Eh...

Now why didn't think of that ?
Great idea that i think wouldn't have come up if the app was more conventional and less charming. Not really my cup of tea though, sorry.
But it got me thinking about the soccer stationery. Turn-based football anyone ?

Wait, a wang monster?! o___o

@18
ditto.

awesome idea!! might bring old school D&D's back into the game... especially since most of us have a harder time even getting together

anyone already doing this ? add me and lets play! great idea!

does this mean you'll put MY video ideas on here if i post them to youtube and semd them to you posing as my friend? :D it could happen

@12: I pile up coins and spend them in bunches. Problem is that I kept maxing out coins again. The new puzzles will help drain my stash though.
@13: You flatter me. I'm just a tool that helps deliver the genius that is D&D to the masses.
@17: be afraid...be very afraid.
@18/19: my FC isn't that hard to find, but I'm not adding anyone until I get a dedicated website up and running for SNRPG
@20: that is one of my hopes. D&D 4 Life.
@22: you should match codes with 18 and 19. Each of you take turns making a dungeon, DMing, and playing.
@23: again, add the people from this thread. I need a lot of testers for feedback. Make a quick dungeon and give it a try.

@MNCDover - I only save when there is nothing to spend them on.

Now I never played an rpg like this before, I'd love to try setting some up but I don't know how to play, only how to start one from your video

@21 I've got over 200 coins right now simply because I'm currently stuck at the part in Find Mii II where I need back-to-back yellow guys.

@26: I suggest you be a player then and let someone else be the DM. It actually is very easy to play any D&D like RPG. A big game of let's pretend, only with dice and stats and stuff.

Anyone wanna volunteer to play with Aqueous? Come on, it'll be fun!

I really want an AR D&D!

It would be really great if Nintendo mentioned this in the app and a seperate video or as a part of a Nintendo Week format. They don't have to show all the details but a short word on that you can play Chess, Tic Tac Toe, other turn based games and even THIS deep one should really get people inspired and increase the popularity of this app.

Chess? Who's feeling brave?

@29
i will!
NAME: S Harp. (<---the period IS A PART OF MY NAME)
FC: 1032-1301-2772

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ADD ME IS FREE TO DO SO! TELL ME YOURS(if you've already added me) SO WE CAN PLAY THIS!!

Cool. I wish I was as creative...

And (if MNCDover ever comes back..) what are the requirements for getting in SCAD? I'm currently a Junior, but I gotta think about my future.

I am so going to do this, both as playing this and probably creating a dungeon.

@34: Money, lots and lots of money. I kid, sort of. I have absolutely zero art talent, but I got in. Build a portfolio and submit your application. Know what you want to major in and focus your submitted work around it. You can change your mind later. Always here to answer questions.

@35: Awesome! Please email me the results of your testing so I can use your feedback to improve the game.

Ok milkman12 I'll add you. I'm guessing you went through passid to get my friend code. By the way the name doesn't matter, it changes to the mii's name when the adding is finished.

Now the chess I can do easily, once again who has courage? BTW I want to lose so beat me at it, I dare you!

Imma' try a thing with this, as a junior Game Programmer/Developer in trainin' this will be good practice for college :3
It's really creative.

@37
send me a dungeun.

@37
WELL, i didnt add you. i figured you'd add me then tell me yours(so i wouldnt need your name).you needed MY name so that you would get my card. you told me to go to your passid, so i did. and now i have YOUR friend card.(i figure people will add me first, so they need a name to add so that i can sucessfully get theirs once they've told me their FC)

Neat

TWERPS might work better than D&D. Good thinking going on here, though.

@aqueous add me 2750-1176-9534 for chess

Good Luck supernova6831, I want to be beat to improve I hope you can be that challenge.

@milkman12 - I thought you knew how this worked and where setting one up?

@44

i know how it works.the first person to add someone via internet has to type in the other person's personal mii name. the second person only needs to type the first person's FC. i HAD a passid, but it got me thinking why there wasnt a search bar for searching individual people, or a comments section on each profile so you could get to know that person. i just ditched passid overall.today, you replied to my comment on NL, so i clicked on your name for a profile so i could look for an FC, but i found a link to your passid, so i copied it into the URL bar, and added you, TODAY.
but the fact is, we've added eachother, and we can begin SWRPG. would you like to begin the game?

@MNCDover

when are you releasing your newer(improved?) video on SWRPG?

@milkman12 - when ever your ready. If you put the wrong name in it corrects it's self once the other person adds you back

My fc is 0688-5263-5788. If you were to add it, I would be ever so grateful. Please list yours, also!

@Aqueous you have to post your friend code so I can add you.

@supernova, I'm never keen on putting it on the site where everyone can see it, it's 2793 0600 1156
You could have checked my passid for it but anyways I hope that helps, now win.

@milkman12: I was working on a clearer tutorial video this weekend and will upload it to YT Monday. Hopefully the news sites will report the new video too.

@MNCDover
I used to be an awesome DM like you, but then I took a reality to the knee. Needless to say, I never had fun again.

@Sh00kst3r - Alright
