This is a Skaven game, where we play as slavers. Currently we're trying to find our way back to the Under-Empire, while trying not to get killed. We're Clan Moulder. Looking for one more player

What happened to the last player? Did you eat him?

The last player recruited from here couldn't make the time. And since last session a player flaked.

We had 2 player deaths in the first session. And yes we did eat them.

I'm looking for playtesters for one shots/short campaign to test out this goddamn abortion of a system. Don't necessarily need to be too familiar with the setting, but it would be nice if you were.

Portlandfag here. Hit me up, Chad#3441.

Voice, you can have a game where things actually happen instead of everyone looking at other sites while they wait for whoever's turn it is to hunt and peck.

GM here, currently writing up a treatment for a Treasure-Planet-esque setting under the 5e system.
Looking for 4-6 players in the evenings on roll20, will be ready for a full session in about 2 weeks, a session 0 would be possible this weekend if there's interest
Discord is 'oboyanuhddashoah#0715'

Text, it allows for more thoughtful responses and has other advantages such as chat logs.

>Okay user what do you say to the [distorted by shitty mic]
>Uh, uh, um, I tell them about the thing.
>Player 3's mic never shuts off, and he begins eating chips/leaves a fan on/his mom comes in to talk to him.

Shoot some contact info.

I've never had those problems, and if it does happen I can use my words and tell the player to stop doing that. I think some people just hate voice games because they can't pretend to be girls.

I've never had the problems you describe with text games, and if it does happen, I can tell them in private that they need to pick up the pace. I think some people just hate text games because they hold preconceived notions about what those games entail.

Every fucking time with you people. Jesus Christ, why can't you just shut the fuck up and post ads? What do you gain by preaching the good word of the glorious voice/text master race? Who are you trying to impress?

I mean, they could pretend to be a girl in character, but their voice would probably break any sense of immersion.

Someone asked about which was better between voice and text games, and they got an answer. Try to keep up with the conversation man, it's not difficult.

Voice feels more like you're at an actual table with actual people. It still isn't as good as the real thing, but it's the best you can get in an online game.

We already posted our ads, now we need SOMETHING to bump this dead thread in this dead board.

Fine with ERP as long as it's text only and has some standard of grammar. Also fuck you, I don't fuck cats.

Give me some info about how long the sessions will be, and what happened in your previous campaigns to sell me.

Depends on the map, but thanks to roll20 macros combat is pretty streamlined
Still, I've had huge endgame maps take like 8 hours, usually 3 or 4 for smaller ones
Occasionally when I feel like it I might have short "gaiden" maps that barely take an hour to clear, but whether I do that often will depend on the group

Contact me elsewhere and I'll tell shittons of stories about my last campaign, but it was pretty nonstandard and I'm not really planning to go that far this time- suffice it to say, it started with a search for legendary dragon-slaying weapons and ended with the legendary dragon-slaying weapons being giant robots, which they piloted to fight Dragon Hitler for the fate of the planet while accompanied by 60+ NPC buddies
I want to do more of a "Some guy's a dick" Fire Emblem-y story this time though

There was a Kingdom named Gan.

In the Kingdom of Gan; there was a wise and mighty King, who was above all else kind and noble in all ways. The King of Gan was named the 100 years King, because he was foretold to rule the Kingdom for 100 years, each year being more prosperous and happy then the last. And it was so.

On the first day of the final 99th year of his reign, the King and his young daughter went on a parade. Then, out of the clear blue sky, a black bolt of lightning ripped down and struck both of them, and they disappeared without a trace.

The King's seven most trusted advisors, the Kind Counts, have sent out messengers and bounties all over the land. They promise riches, fame, honor, and of course adventure. The mightiest of heroes are being called to search for and return the King to his throne. Will you heed the call?

This is a homebrew game that uses simple d20 mechanics most are familiar with, however it does not use Dungeons and Dragons classes, races, or magic. Instead, the game is a simple point buy affair with flexible character creation.

Seeking players interested in high fantasy adventure. I would prefer players more interested in having an enjoyable experience instead of "winning". I will be lurking in this thread to answer any other questions, but feel free to contact my discord even if you aren't interested in joining right away.

Here mate. I'm off to bed but and work most of the next day but we'll see what we can do sometime.

What's your timezone?

I knew I forgot something. Pacific.

What kind of high fantasy is it? Like flying ships and shit? Likewise, what kind of tone are you going for? What time(afternoon? morning?) do you think is best for you?

I've seen you around a little bit. Saying that you're fine with ERP is going to be a major red flag for any game that isn't an ERP game for most people.

High fantasy as in there's magic creatures, common wizards, princess is magical, smiths forge magic weapons, etc.

Tone is probably fairly good defeating evil sort of thing. Not grimdark but not all cute and fluffy either I'd say. I mean there is evil here and there.

I'm on in the afternoons my time; 1-2 PM all the way through until 4 AM or so but only on my days off. Which is why I specified weekdays.

How long would you want each session to be on average, not counting player input. Likewise, which would you lean toward text or voice?

As for text/voice split; That's something I'd like to determine on session zero with the players. I also don't think it'd be that bad if some players stick to primarily voice/primarily text play in the same group, as long as we're all following along with the primary chain of events.

As for length of each session; I'd probably hover around 4-6 hours or so maybe, once again depending on how long the players can go for.

It sounds so far so good, but I'm generally only interested in voice only campaigns. Kinda makes it hard to gauge if I want to play since you said it'd be determined in session 0. I've been in split campaigns before and it gets awkward real fast.

Running a BFRPG game, need 1 more player (have three players already). Game will make use of a few small homebrew rules as well as some of the supplements. First game will be a Session 0 for character generation. Any questions and comments, you can message me about them. Will make use of Roll20 but only for mapping (grid activated but blank for the party to fill in as they see fit).

Shit, forgot to mention session 0 is today (01/16/2018)

plz no flake. We had one player who was too nervous and new to tabletop who just dropped out, and another who unfortunately had a very busy life and took it upon himself to leave.

Hopefully you'll be around for a bit of the game!

I'm interested but the spontaneous thing seems weird. How do you have times when everyone's available without setting it up so people can plan around it?

I usually ask a few days in advance if anyone is up for a game if they have no plans on X day, then the game is planned and ran!

Is this like a "west marches" thing?

It occurred to me that I should've included the times that are usually run. (Independent of day) 8pm EST.

What's the game about?

Not at all! Standard small group session.

It's Basic Fantasy RPG, a retroclone of B/X with some more modern changes (races are separate from class, ascending AC, some more). The game will be in a few "arcs" with the first arc a slightly modified published adventure, the second arc based on some classic modules and the third arc dealing with a major threat to the players.

Does that help?

I think basic RPG is somewhat interesting. Any unique races/setting stuff?

Not really. I'm staying fairly generic with a few gonzo twists here and there. Sorry if that's a bit of a bummer for you, but it was a personal choice. I've never ran a BFRPG game before and didn't want to complicate it too much until I have a better grasp of all of the mechanics.

Bump

Bump

What has been your experience play/dming with people from these threads?

Pretty good when things work out, and mostly just disappointing when they don't.

What is the ratio of "cool bros who are chill" and "aspy guys who cant talk to others and get mad" ?

...shit, you're right. Perhaps slapping that on wasn't the smartest choice in hindsight.

I'd say about 60/40 with the 60 being regular people.

Alright. good to know. I was thinking of running Lost Mines of Phandelver or something for new people if my classes dont work out as planned this semester. Spread the love of the hobby and what not.

Games that start out promising but suddenly get canceled after two sessions.

Hey, whatever bumps the thread buddy

I hear GMs are in high demand. That true?

Maybe, whos asking?

A guy who's life schedule may get a huge chunk of free time here in the next couple weeks and is thinking of running a game (maybe a shorter adventure) for some Veeky Forums bros

They're generally ok as people and players but there's huge turnover because without any real social bonds people have no problem flaking out without warning.

It's true.

It seems like theres always one guy in every game that is the token awful person.

Nah, contrary to what autists believe they aren't actually smarter than people capable of verbal communication.

Hey guys doing a survey about GM's i'd appreciate it if you answered
strawpoll.me/14859620

You can clearly tell who is right by the amount of hate and idiocy their replies to you get.

>I think some people just hate text games because they hold preconceived notions about what those games entail.
Not him, but my experience with text games is that they're much slower and die out a lot faster than voice games.

>I mean, they could pretend to be a girl in character, but their voice would probably break any sense of immersion
I found that this is a very cheap excuse, unless you are Roleplaying in a very Adult way.

Cool anecdote. I've been playing with my text game based group for 3+ years.

Alright, good on you. Still, you have good company over in the "text is better department", don't you?

Bumping for this!

If you prefer voice to text, then that's great user, just don't try and pretend you're somehow 'above' players in text games.

This is trash, don't play.
