RP Group and Playthrough.

[Jaginun]

I've been running and GM'ing informal RP games for a few months now with a group on my Teamspeak, using mainly cobbled rules derived from Roll2Dodge and a few others.

I'm just about to start another RP, this one set in a post apocalyptic setting with new rules based on the Call of Cthulhu/Actung! Cthulhu/The Void altered by myself.

The Teamspeak IP is as follows;
94.23.10.32:9984

I'm opening invitation to it up to anyone reading this. It will be hosted weekly at 8PM BST on Friday's, running for hopefully 2-4 hours.
Just to give people an introduction, here's a setting summary I've written.

► Show Spoiler

The year is 512 years post-Event. You all live in an area previously known as Newfoundland, which apparently was a lot colder than the hot plains it is today. Your society has managed to cling to life on the plains here, living life by the teachings of a pre-Event entity or organisation known as Jhod. Within your small community mutations, caused by the Corruption of the event, are seen as utter evil, and liquidated at all cost, whether they belong to a farmer's livestock or a townsman’s child. Outside the land of New Jerusalem lies the Outskirts, leading to the wasteland. Here, mutation is rife and law is disregarded.

You are all children of the community of New Jerusalem, coming from different walks of life but all possessing the fact you own a mutation of some kind, kept secret from the community at large, and thus have become friends. Collectively you have decided that something must be done and meet in a local abandoned farmhouse.

It's mainly based on inspirations from John Wyndham novels as well as other inspirations (Fallout 4 soon guise!)

It's open to anyone that wants, and missing a session or two isn't a major obstacle. If anyone has any suggestions as well, I'm very much open to them, as I've only ran less than 10 or so RP's before. If you're interested, hop on the teamspeak and have a chat with me, feel free to ask any questions you have.

Inventory:

There's a few other rules with the character cards that need explaining.

Again, feel free to add me on steam (same name), join the teamspeak for a chat or PM me on the forums for any information or questions.

Eh. Byond has a game similar to that.

RP RADIO CE. (No advertising intended.)

Byond doesn't have a DM'ing (or two now) setting the scene and story for you though; If all goes well, it'll be a bit more than a set of quests sending you from one Dwarf-Fortress-esque-named village to another.

[UnknownMurder]

I'm sure one of the games... That does have DM'ing... I'm not so sure what name..

Oh, that's right, it's called SS13, Cow RP, and so on... Try researching into Byond and see what you can find.

I'm not sure if we're speaking on the same wavelength here. I'm not offering some kind of game with role-playing as a concept, I'm offering a Dungeons and Dragons style experience personally tailored to a specific group, the stuff people get together and play once a fortnight (for example). Hell, just from looking on the forum, I'm pretty sure there's a Dark Heresy game going on right now. It's the difference between an RPG and a tabletop Role Playing Game. It'll be running for hopefully several months, assuming we play once a week, rather than just restarting every round.

I've got absolutely no idea on your experience with games like this, but if you're interested you could sit in for a session on Friday, and play if you want or just observe. I've already got a good few players who've made characters, I was just hoping for a few additional as I know RPing is obviously a popular thing here, and if anyone is worried about not having enough experience, I handle all the confusing rolls 'off camera', so it isn't an issue.

[UnknownMurder]

Might try it later. Not too interesting in D&D kind for now. However, I might observe.

[MrJJJ]

Not sure…i am a bit busy with RT and DH, one of which is on friday

[speedybst]

Hmm, whilst usually i would say sign me up, i've just had a look and realised i'm already part of 4 Pathfinder Play-by-post games. This does look interest, if its still running in a few months i may join up then.

[Jaginun]

Copy that, I'm running this thing at 8PM British Summer Time tonight, feel free to pop in if you want to join or just watch.

[speedybst]

got a GMT equivalent for that by any chance?

[Jaginun]

If you're using standard time for the UK it'll just be 8PM, but BST is GMT +1, so 7PM?

The clocks should automatically update though on your computer, so if you're a subject of Her Majesty like me, then it should just be 8PM.

[speedybst]

Ah, well i'm part of the extended commonwealth, proud citizen of australia myself. So, if i'm GMT -10 that makes it about... 10am for me? bah, was never great with geographical pursuits >_<.
