Forum Based Play (RPoL)

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Fri Jan 06, 2012 8:59 am

So, I'm in contact with a friend I haven't heard from in ages. We're chatting away, and reminiscing about old times - we met back when PlaybyWeb was the big thing in forum roleplaying (like, back when GW actually had a forum, so ~2000). At any rate, I'm joining a silly D&D game she's made, and decided to run a game on RPoL.

Now, I put a few different ideas up, and when she's back from a holiday she'll have time to look over them and decide. But when that decision is made, there'll need to be other players.

Anyone here like playing by post? I know IRC actually allows for real-time play so games move faster, but on the other hand, we also know how hard it is to shepherd everyone into the one timeslot, especially across different timezones, and we also know about my sleep habits.

The possibilities are:
1. MORE DISGAEAGAME! (Note: I'll totally get the document finished and uploaded for it. Yes, this will make it MORE played and popular than 4E. Eat a dick, Mearls.)

2. After Sundown, though I've never played or run it before.

3. Pokemon... IN WAR! Yes, the militaries having diglets cause cave-ins, Fearows dropping bombs, people riding Rhydons like knights, with lances/autocannons. Using the template/class-package type variant of BESM that I suggested for Tengen Toppa Cthulhu Ftagn.

4. Pretty Soldier Adepta Sororitas. Which might be played straight mostly serious (is anything straight with me? In before someone points out some bone or neural pathway or something is perfectly straight in all humans.), as an investigation-and-ass-kicking game. Or possibly played silly, with Alpha Legion launching panty raids and so on - possibly to the point of using Maid instead.

But at the moment, I'm just seeing who here is fine with play-by-post, so I can recruit from here rather than trying it on RPoL with people I don't know (and therefore, don't like). So I'm not asking for a vote on what to run, because she will make the decision, and then of the people here who are cool with PbP, you guys can choose to play or not, as you see fit.

Note that this obviously does not mean the IRC game is going on hold/cancelled. It's just another, separate thing.

I like play-by-post games.

I'd be potentially interested in a Disgaeagame pbp.

I'm horrible at PbP timing so I won't be signing up, but my vote is for finishing and uploading the revision regardless of the actual game choice.

Don't worry, I intend on doing that anyway. Still working on prestige classes - 17 more to go!

I'd be good for a game of After Sundown.

I"m up for this. I vote for Pokemon war.

I'd be down for PbP Disgaeagame or After Sundown.

..Do I need to vote? I thought it was stated that our votes didn't matter.

I'm pretty sure the people mentioning specific games aren't putting in votes, just saying "I will play if you run A but not if you run B." That's what I was getting at with mine, at least.

I'd play After Sundown.

I'd like to voice a desire to play After Sundown, because i have a character idea from the weirdest nazi science project i have ever read about.

Thanks for the clarification. In that case:
1. MORE DISGAEAGAME!: Probably
2. After Sundown: Probably
3. Pokemon... IN WAR!: Maybe
4. Pretty Soldier Adepta Sororitas.: Probably not

Depending on the campaign pitch.

I say Disgaea game...because I have no idea how After Sundown works, and the things I have heard...I wouldn't like it.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Thu Jan 12, 2012 8:24 pm

It's... not like it's on the forum or anything...

Stupid comment was stupid on my part. Then again, checking first page, and I stay by what I say...After Sundown isn't really interesting me...
