Are there many tabletop gamers around?

[shagy2303]

im willing to learn any game so i was reading your guys post but i didnt have any thing to add because i have no experiance in that one . but willing to learn it

[BlkIronEpee]

Hey, sorry guys, that came out wrong. I just didn't want to bother everyone. If you have interest in learning the system I'll run a game by email as soon as there are players.

[K-Swiss96]

I'm learning and loving Pathfinder! Haven't played a tabletop RPG in years, but I'm dying to GM for my young boys.

[Breakfast]

I played my first table top RPG on Tuesday. It was awesome. They are a weekly group that mainly play old school. I joined in on Swords and Wizardry, which I believe is a retro-clone of 1st edition D&D, but they also have Traveller, which I might try next.

[SusieBlu]

I feel like I am a little late to this thread. I RPG haven't found a group near me. I hope to put out a Looking for Group flag to put together a winter gaming group. That being said I am all for joining, help running a PbP game. I used to do it alot. I also my debating getting the fantasy grounds program so if there are people interested in that (I live in Germany so flexible timing would be needed) PM me.

I will play any system. I have actively played the Warhammer RPGs, Savage Worlds, SW Deadlands Reloaded, Mutants and Masterminds, and CoC.

[Atalan]

after that comes to a close either jumping into Mutants and Masterminds,

I stopped playing that after I was in a campaign where the Joker accidentally got infected by Venom.

[illuminatus]

Just tested Mutants and Masterminds for the first time and liked it with my group's GM. It was a one on one thing since our group has become somewhat depleted and the other Player was out for the day. Great System, the virtues of which had been extolled to me by a friend. Though I can see where the Joker getting infected by Venom could alter play, just a little, though that might be a good story arc for a comic.

Now, another topic for discussion. Since the tabletop thing was brought up: fave class?

Mine is Fighter with Rogue as a CLOSE 2nd. I've done the ranger and monk thing, and loved those characters, but #1 has GOT to be the heavy metal hack and slash in your face tank!

Scorpion, this really depends on the genre I play. In 2nd Edition and Pathfinder, I tended toward Rangers, because I always liked the bow/dual wield concept, plus the skirmisher type warrior, relaying on speed and skill rather than brute force has always peeked my interest (Hence the reason Ranger will like be the class I choose on the forums.).

I tend more toward spellcasters/psychics in other systems like Savage Worlds and Dark Heresy

i am twitching i wanna play lol

I'm not going to lie, that sounds pretty awesome.

Before moving to Utah I was GMing a game of Icons several nights a week, with two regular players and some other ones that would occasionally join. Since all of us had a really good sense of humor we had some pretty hilarious situations, including one player stopping time while another threw a brick of cocaine at a supervillain, the reincarnation of Hitler as a puppy becoming the sidekick of one of the players, and barging in on a supervillain while he was naked and throwing him out a window. The game itself was a lot of fun and really intriguing too. If there was one thing I miss about Florida it's definitely our Icons nights.

I'm definitely down with having a NF RPG group. I've played over message boards before using a public dice roller program and less emphasis on turns - basically, whoever posts first has first move. Given that I'm sure a lot of us check the NF forums at least once a day this could probably work. I'd also recommend using a free/open source game system, like D6, Dark Dungeons or Marvel Superheroes. I really hope this happens!

Also, this is why my parents kept me from playing RPGs as a child...

Ugh...those comics.

Anyways...let's get a group or groups together to play online. Who is willing and able to run a pbp game, what systems do you want to run, and let's get some games started. I am not a gm really, just a player.

If nobody else wants to GM I'm willing to take on that responsibility. I'd recommend we use one of the following systems, which can be downloaded free of charge:

D6 System - http://www.sycarion.com/open-d6-pdfs/

GURPS Lite - http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/lite/

Marvel Superheroes - http://www.classicmarvelforever.com/cms/basic-game-and-modules.html

Dark Dungeons - http://www.gratisgames.webspace.virginmedia.com/darkdungeons.html

Let's make this happen!

[realbrickwall]

I'd honestly be down for any of those. I really don't have the facilities to GM a game right now, but I would love to play!

[Kevin Awesom]

Well, here are our options:

1. We can use something like rolz.org to keep track of dice rolls, and have the story play out here on the forums (makes the game asynchronistic, but we don't have to decide on a time)

2. We can use the IRC dice roller program and play over chat (we can set a specific game time, but if you miss it you miss it)

3. We can use the honor system, and just roll dice on our own (we can play the game however we want, but people could be lying and the GM and other players wouldn't know it)

Any of those ways work for me, honestly. I'm not picky.

[shagy2303]

it seems like the first makes more sence

[SusieBlu]

I am for whatever system and rolz.org is good for me.

[spencer_]

Funny, I was thinking about recruiting some people here for a D&D 3.5 game I'm planning to DM. It's not nearly ready yet though.

[littleblue]

Totally late to this thread! I would love to get in on some forum based action! I would recommend something involving the FATE system, or even a diceless system similar to Nobilis for simplicity's sake. Other than that, I'd be up for absolutely anything. I've been starved for table-top lately thanks to my recent move.

[SusieBlu]

Oo ooo AMBER DICELESS AMBER DICELESS.

sorry i really would love to play another Amber game.

[Gainsdalf the Whey]

I'd participate in pbp if only 1 post per day was needed. I'd probably be able to do 2-3 quality ones most days, but there are those days where I'd only be able to get 1. I like the honor system as most sites are blocked at work. Don't care which system, I'll play anything.

[shagy2303]

i will be good and not tell you how to get around the block

[Athaclena]

I'm a gamer from way back - mostly D&D. Played a bit with first edition - tons with 2nd. Play tested 3rd edition. Played some 3.5 and never bothered with 4.

I'm in a weekly game with old friends (and new) and we're kicking it old school with 2nd edition in a Forgotten Realms setting. While I prefer to play straight up warriors, I seem to be picking up games with n00bs and end up playing a priest/cleric so we don't die LOL. I also usually end up being the party leader - because whenever I let someone else lead - they screw it up. No - really! Of course I frustrate the DM when I break his modules - but he got off of his butt and created a huge dungeon this time. Hey, it wasn't my fault a search-right through his maze was the shortest way through!!!!

[illuminatus]

Spirit of the Century is a good fate based system. very Pulpy, very fun, though not sure if the rules could be found online to allow everyone a chance to read through and grasp how to play. I would be up for anything listed in Kevin's post.

You don't know where I work or what system it is, so you wouldn't know how to get around it...

I love SotC, but I've played it enough to know that it the stress system needs major fixes. Once that's taken care of, it's basically legendary (SotC players, please find the pun).

[illuminatus]

I have some issues with the stress system too but loved how there were so many ways you could stress out your enemy. Really like the interaction between players and being able to award fate chips to other players for awesomeness
