New game on Rpol.net

Oh. Darn.

If anybody else is planning on starting an online play by post game (or knows of one that needs replacement players), let me know... I've had this wonderful game that is Eclipse Phase for 7 months now and still haven't gotten a chance to play

I had an idea for a game on RPoL.

Basically, it would be a sandbox game ran by a number of GMs. Every GM would run a part of the solar system - for starters, not to overdo ourselves, one GM would run the Inner System and one GM the Outer System. Now, they would maintain specific network threads (@-lis, E-wave, etc.) and specific locations (Nectar on Luna, Locus, other locales) for players to post in and interact between themselves and the NPCs. The GMs wouldn't run specific scenarios, but more react to the actions of the players and maintain a plausible world (fill with NPCs to interact with, make the networks abuzz with stuff, describe and offer specific info about things the players ask about etc.).

This game would be very character driven, since GMs wouldn't run typical scenarios (usually) but follow what the PCs are doing and weave a story around that.

What do you think? Would there be any interest in this type of a game?

EDIT: I hijacked the thread since Fzzy's game was dead anyways, and this is a suggestion for a game on RPoL.net (so the heading fits)!

In GMing or playing? I guess, if we get a number of GMs, you could do both!

Awesome. I opened up a game to discuss how it would work.

You can find it here:

It won't start that soon (for another week or so, I'm going on a trip and will be without Internet access) but I'd like it if we found at least two GMs, so I wouldn't have to GM (since my schedule is pretty frakked up). So, if you know anybody who's interested, tell them to drop by!

And all you rascals reading this too. I know there's quite a number of regulars on the forum who I'd like to see GMing (or at least playing)!

I'd love to be part of this. I could definitely be a player, and might be able to swing GM. I have the time for it, but I lack experience GMing.

We're getting the ball running soon with this game, it would seem.

We're still looking for players and GMs (and player-GMs for that matter). Follow the link above and check it out - if enough enthusiastic people join, this could be one of the coolest EP games out there

Sorry about the wait. Finals and all that getting in the way.

Also, we could really use more GMs. We have a bunch of players already, but only two GMs so far. I thought that this kind of setup would be attractive to all the prospective EP GMs here!

Hey!

Sure thing, you can join up. We're in a kind of a slow down (considering my finals are starting and we still haven't found enough GMs to run everything smoothly). But come by the game on RPoL and check it out!

And don't worry about English - it's not my first tongue either. If it's comprehensible, you're good to go. And nothing better to practice your language skill than a game with a lot of writing!

The rules on RPoL are pretty strict, but with a reason. People are people, and with no rules, things can get nasty. Good that you're reading the rules, and be sure to include everything re age statements when sending an RtJ. I promise we're not that nitpicky with other things.

Also, we could use more GMs! Anybody interested in GMing what seems to be growing into a large game, please come by and check it out!

Then I will send you my character as soon as I have time. I'm also about to start my final exams, so its quite likely that it takes me some time. But once I have finished them I will be able to mantain a good posting rate.

See you soon

Well bakho has gone MIA from the RPOL game as did our only other GM, so I have picked up the task myself. Recently I PM those on RPOL that had responded to the game RJT.

I would really like to get back to the original idea of the game having multiple GM's so if there is anyone out there interested in playing or being a GM stop by.

I'm doing what I can. After the loose ends are closed up which I hope is this week I will start my scenario I have planned out.

Not a problem, just PM me with your changes.

As always if there is anyone who wants to GM via RPOL drop us a line. The more GMs the better, it would be cool to have multiple stories going on at once.

Of course, we don't mind if anybody wants to join as a GM either

We currently have three game threads up, one group thread, one two player thread, and one solo player thread. We're very player-oriented so I think you might find what you're looking for at our game. With three regular GMs, I think we can cater with ease to a couple more players (the third GM is planning to open a new thread soon, I think). The game is running for quite some time now, and survived some GM absences and hiccups, but this format promises more regarding GM disappearance than other PbP games (since if one GM goes AWOL, there are others to take over or to recruit new GMs). So yeah. Come, check it out; lurk for starters, and if you see something that you like, make a char and join up.

Of course, always on the lookout for more GMs (since more GMs means that the game has a greater chance of surviving in the long run).

We are. Drop us an RtJ on RPoL (and be sure to follow the site guidelines mentioned in the public trheads in the game).

Posted up my RTJ.

I look forward to hearing from you.
