    Hey Guys
    Just want to get an idea of numbers before i start anything. Since moving down to cork i haven't been able to find a Role playing group near me (im way out in the county not the city) so i figured that the best thing to was was to start up a
    Play by Email game. I'll be setting one up on boards.ie if i can get the numbers,

    I would ideally like about 6 to 8 players and its as simple as posting your your game turn on boards.

    Rules, charachters sheets etc will be Emailed to people as soon as i have a rough idea of numbers. I'll leave regestration open until this friday the 16th. if i can get the numbers then i'll set everything up

    I'll be running a SLA ind. RPG and i will need you to be able to post Min of 2 turns a week (i am aiming for 3 a week)

    Anyone interested just post your reply here giving me a nay or a Hell yea!! and i'll get in touch with you.

    Hey you

    Indeed it will be a PBBT. I'm gonna setup three new threads once i get enough people together one for the game turns and one for ingame conversations between players and DM's and then one out of game conversations for any other jibber jabber you want to say or any questions you want to ask

    i'm also going to setup an Email address too that you can Email the game turn too if you can make it onto boards to post.

    i could even run it with 4 people if needs be.

    Regestration is open until friday so tell your friends tell your imagenary friends.....

    so with you in there's a max of 7 places left.

    TTFN

    Well i might be interested, one problem though

    What is SLA ind?

    Played PnP D&D, i assume its something similar but might use different rules or something. Gimme an idea of what it is an ill let ya know if im interested.

    Might be able to get one or two others


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    SLA (pronounced Slay) industries is a RPG based in the distant far future its a cyberpunk type game where the the entire universe and all its belonging's are the sole property of SLA industries. the food you eat the air your breathe the house's you live in all belong to SLA. the own everything.

    you play agents of SLA industries (think CIA or NSA) specially trained to deal with situations that are too hot to handle for mere local forces (its a bit like shadowrun if you've ever played anything like that)

    the best way to describe it is think of it like a cross between starship troopers and total recall.

    you have to complete missions (BPN's) to earn cash and experience to move up level's (security clearance levels SCL's)
    within SLA the higher you get the more respect you get and you'll get access to better missions etc.

    there are 7 playable races in SLA all of which i will send out documentaion on to you if you want in. the only thing you need is to pick a race and a charachter name and i'll generate you a charachter and do the rest

    Hope this helps any other info you want gimme a bell


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    That sounds interesting

    you can count me in i spose. Only problem is im doing exams at the moment and may not be able to give alot of time to it. Will be finished on the 18th june so after that wont be a problem.

    Ill talk to some of the lads i play DnD with. One or two of them might be interested

    No Problem i can understand sure its gonna take me some time to get all the stuff together anyway. we dont have to kick this off until the start of june anyway.

    and if you cant make it in time to post i'll just make your game turn for you. im still writing up descriptions of all the playable races thats gonna take me another week anyway, plus it might take some time to get the all the players on board.

    can you PM me your Email address and once its done i'll send you the basic description of all the races that you can play.

    no probs sorry i should have mentioned its an open ended Regestration you can join anytime you want the game will start on thursday so im sorry but you'll miss the first turn or too this is to anyone interested in playing you can join ANYtime you want to just PM me your interested in playing and PM me your Email address i'll send you all the details of Races / charachters you can play plus a breif word document on the background and history of SLA industries.

    it will take me a day at the most to Generate your charachter and you can start playing then right away, the only rule i have is if you really are genuinly interested in playing you'll need to post at least 2 (im aiming for 3) turns a week. should get the game moving along nicely.

    Currently we have 4 regestered players you and your friend would bring the Squad up to 6 which is a nice even number and normally squads range from 6 to 8

    as i said PM me if your interested in playing still

    All are welcome

    Lads (Lolth or someone with contacts) ask Rev(or even if you read this yourself) to sticky this please so that doesn't happen again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    I just PM'ed the mod

    being a newbie to boards myself i have no idea what sticky'ing means but if it makes the masses happy im cool with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭FlashBang


    it basically keeps the thread somewhere at the top. But I don't think that's necessary anymore cause when we're starting now, at least one of the RPG-threads will stay around the top as we'll keep posting in the threads.

    I think hobbes/lolth/rev will be keeping an eye on this anyways

    no probs take your time i have to go off line at 8pm (finish work) so if you dont have it mailed to me by then no worries i'll take a look at it tomorrow

    not sure who asked me about the other players wanting to join!!
    oh well going mad in my old age i guess!!!

    the only two threads we really need are the game turns one and the SLA players chatroom the rest are merely for info

    maybe the mods could sticky those two and not the rest
