Do YOU Want a PNP?

[Surreptishus]

hahaha  I love it, baley.  The Vampire game had potential, but Ender never really got his act together.  I missed the drama, though.  I think I rember something between baley and numbers?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Yes Baley v Numbers. Something about playing for people that were not present... I think.

[Baley]

It had more to do with some people role-playing outside the main-window and with Ender via private windows and intertwined backstories.

[Archmonarch]

Havent had the internets in a few days, but as always Im interested. Pretty much any day except Sunday is good for me.

 

Have we decided what system we're using yet?

[LoneWolf16]

LoneWolf16 need to confirm his Saturday afternoon/evening status. Otherwise, they could potentially also join group #2 as Elder mentions below.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I'm free, unless something comes up last minute, which is rare. Very rare.

 

Still not clear on the specifics of how something like this would be done...I mean, I can write well, but beyond that I'm grasping at straws here.

[Llyranor]

Okay, these people can make it Saturday afternoon/evening:

Llyranor

Nick

metadigital

Role-Player

Fenghuang

Deadly Nightshade

LoneWolf16

Baley

 

These people can't, but would make good DMs:

Eldar

 

Either we find a DM for Saturday, or we try to reschedule to a better day.

[Baley]

I'm game.

[Llyranor]

Saturday?

[Baley]

I can't next Saturday, it's Orthodox Easter and I'm planing on spending it with my family in the countryside.

 

But otherwise, yes, saturdays are fine.

[Llyranor]

Got it.

[Cantousent]

Why don't you guys just do the Saturday thing and I'll join in just for hell of it every now and then. My schedule is pretty tight. I get little five or ten minute snips, but not long enough to dedicate.

 

I would, however, like to know the ruleset and backstory so I can kind of keep track of things. You guys should create a new thread specifically for this particular RPG and backstory. That way, this thread can continue for folks creating different games and it's not confusing you trying to organize this particular game.

[Llyranor]

It'd kind of be nice to have a DM or something, though.

 

I'd DM, but my knowledge of DnD is pretty much limited to CRPGs, so I don't know enough to properly arrange everything.

ELDAR FOR GUEST DM IN 'O6!!!

 

Seriously though, we need a permanent DM. I could also do Friday if that'd work better for Eldar or any other potential DMs.

ELDAR FOR GUEST DM IN 'O6!!!

[Llyranor]

I can adjust to either Friday or Sunday. In terms of reliability, unfortunately, I have to be on call once in a while, so I might have to miss a session every 1-2+ months.

[Cantousent]

What happened to Baley? He's taking this group and his only day he can't make it is next week, right? The only thing he needs to do is tell us the ruleset and get things started.

 

The thing that really killed Ender was prep. Baley not only has his own experience on which to draw, but Ender's also. heh heh. Still that group was fun. The roleplaying was freeform.

 

As far as the days go, folks actually showing, and on time, is probably the biggest problem. Once everyone is there, then it's just a matter of herding folks out of chat mode and into RPG mode.

[Llyranor]

Erm, Baley volowned us. He doesn't actually DM.

[Fenghuang]

Guys what if we got Hades to test run his Dyson Sphere campaign on us?

 

Is this a good idea?

 

Or we could just be a testbed for his ideas, I think Hades would be a good DM.

 

And I'm entirely serious about that.

 

Also due to my point investment in stalking I know for a fact that unless he's developed a social life he's available Saturday afternoons.

[Llyranor]

I'd be up for that. Hades is da bomb.

[Fenghuang]

I dunno if he's 'da bomb' but I think his campaigns sound creative and he certainly has experience unless he's been talking out his ass all these years.

 

HELP US HADES ONE YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE!

[Cantousent]

I'd suggest someone PM Hades and let him know. I'd like to get a chance to look into his campaign. Otherwise, I'm willing to go with a Friday or Sunday. I've got a lot of Campaigns already written. Luckily, I run all my games from my laptop with PCGen. I've downloaded the core reference materials and all of the monsters, items, and special properties are written into the material. Any significant adversary you face will be a generated NPC, monster or not. I tend to follow the rules in creating campaigns, but I've got a few house rules I use in order to keep things lively in the game. Furthermore, there will probably be concessions because we'll be playing on irc.

 

Talk to Hades. If he's going to run a game, then I say go with him. If not, I'll DM. I'll clear the schedule for the first couple of sessions and then I'll have to work with my schedule.

 

Sound good?

 

EDIT: And I won't mind starting a campaign and letting someone with a more stable schedule commandeer it. hahaha Also, I type very fast, which helps with an irc game.

[Fenghuang]

Sunday's one of the only days I can't get off. Friday works just fine though.

[Llyranor]

No worries, I hijacked his Dyson thread.

 

Otherwise, yeah, Friday could work, actually. We'll see if the others can make it, though.

[Blank]

OH! OH! ME TOO!

[metadigital]

We need a DM to take executive control of the campaign, even if s/he doesn't do all the background work (i.e. delegate that out), we need someone to be the person who decides what's in and out. So it must be a permanent DM (which doesn't preclude guest DM spots, which I would be happy to do).

 

Once the permanent overseer is decided, THEY can shape the campaign.

 

I think Hades would be a brilliant DM, too, if he wants the job.

[Diogo Ribeiro]

Friday is fine with me, possibly even better than Saturday.

 

(I still won't be able to make it this Friday though, as the extended weekend begins Friday morning and only ends Monday afternoon).
