Play by Boards.ie RPG

AL][EN

So I've been rolling the idea around in my head for the last few days and im serious about running/playing a new game if people are interested, I want to see this one through to the end so if i start i mean to go on until its finished.

If you are just post a comment and the game you'd like to play. If there's enough interest we could start by running a short 2/3 post a week game (I say short the last full game i ran on boards lasted 4 months) I'll start the ball rolling by saying i wouldn't mind running a game. I have a Pre-Generated call of cthulhu rpg type game i can run pretty much right away.

Its based on the game system from CoC (in that i like the San points system) but this game has NOTHING to do with cthulhu himself. I've ran SLA about 4 times now and wouldnt mind running / playing something different.

Anyone else up for a game?

Nevyn

Me!

Shiminay

*raises hand*

I'm happy enough with whatever game is picked. I have played several different types at this stage at Cons but wouldn't be too up on the specifics of each.

AL][EN

Awesome, 2 definates if i can get 2 more we'll start pretty much straight away any suggestions on a game setting?

Nevyn

at a games convention

Horror isn't a genre that interests me all that much I'm afraid. I'll probably lurk and watch though

I've found that when a good game gets going many people do lurk in the shadows watching ...

Well none of the games i have pre-written are actually horror. Not the biggest fan of horror myself actually. but once we get going feel free to lurk away.

LOL Thaed, I think i still have the rules for "be the bob" somewhere i can try and dig em out for nostalgic sake.

Nevyn

Yes Damiens wonderful game

AL][EN

Honestly i can still say that was one of the best RPG scenario's I've ever played There hasn't been a scenario Ive played quite like it since.

I'll have a goo for it but on the off chance i cant find it any other game you want to try?

Nevyn

You know me I am happy to play what ever you wanna run.

AL][EN

sofar i can only see 3 players that might play

qwertz
Thaed
Kharn

Any suggestions for a 4th player?

I could run either run a game of Call of Chulthu (again its not set in a horror setting i just like the San System)

or a D20 SciFi post apolocyptic campaign im running.

there the two i could kick off in the next two days any preferences?

AL][EN

PM's sent to players please check your inbox's if you didnt get one and want to play just let me know.

Nevyn

So what are we playing?

AL][EN

Decided on the post apolocypic game cant get anymore players. Working on the backstory / epilogue now will post it up later on. Will Gen the characters and PM them out by Wed.

Tis a D20 System I need 4 to 5 mins for the Call of Cuthulu one so we cant run that.

tba says he can join in the next one in a few months time when he's back from his world wide walk about.

Raphael cant but to be fair tho final year of exams n all that, so i can imagine what most nights will involve.

Sarky - strangely enough i haven't herd from sarky, I must light up the bat signal and point in the general direction of galway see if he responds.

So watch this space for the epilogue / backstory of the game were going to run,.

Sarky

I'm swamped with other stuff, I'm afraid.

I'm also allergic to D20, but mostly swamped.

AL][EN

Horrible affliction that D20 .... herd there's a cream for it tho.

Yea i know i picked a bad time to run a game allot peeps busy but sure we'll soldier on all the same. D20 isn't as bad when you play by boards as you don't actually have to physically touch a D20 which is nice.

Maybe next time then eh.

qwertz

I will sit on the fence for a while to see how this is going. The last thing I want is to invest time in another game on boards just to have it die after a few weeks.

AL][EN

I agree the last 2 or 3 games that were ran fizzled away due to player inactivity or My Jobloss and house move. I too invested LOADS of time into the last 2 games but I'm still fully committed to playing, running and finishing this game.

I only ask players post one or two game turns a week the more posts the faster the game runs. Last time around for example near the end id post a game turn and 2-3 weeks later posts would fly in.

I'll gen you a character and have him amble around in the background and you can join in then if you want as im not letting players join this one once the game starts. its a simple short scenario i wrote that should get people back into the swing of things. Its maybe 15 to 20 game turns long. but its fun and has a few nice twists.

so the offer is still there i'll gen the character and leave him sneaking around in the background like a sneak sneaky ninja. and if you want to play then your more than welcome

AL][EN

2 Characters Genereated

2 to go will be PM'ing them over soon probably monday at this stage i aim to have the Intro game turn posted by Wednesday - No replies allowed

The players chat room and the COMs Channel up by end of next week. With game turn 1 monday week. Maybe sooner maybe later works mental at the mo

AL][EN

Ok so i have the characters generated

2 X hunter / Defense Characters - Standard hitty / shooty type support character for combat.

1 X Medicius - Gatherer, Basic Combat Medic, Knowledge of the wastelands, what will kill you what wont, what you can eat what will heal you what wont.

1 X Mechanicus - Techo Character has in depth knowledge of technology how to use, repair has limited combat capability

How do you want to divy up the characters --> Select yourself or me assign?

Shiminay

I'd be happy to play a grunt with a big gun

Nevyn

I bags the Medicius.

AL][EN

It looks like we only have 2 players (possibly 3 if qwertz joins in later on)

I have 4 characters generated so we can start the game faily soon) if you dont mind running with 2 players for a while 3 maybe when qwertz joins i can start the game this week.

I'll open up Players chat room and COMS channel very soon

Actually There's a pionty, pointy, stabby stabby grunt
Theres also a shooting shooting aim shooty grunt.

They both can shoot ranged weapons effectively and can hold their own in melee its just one is specialized in ranged the other in melee do you have a preference?

Shiminay

I'll take the one with the big axe please

PMs sent to players with character sheets
