I am looking to join in a play by post game.

I have been playing in a starwars (Meet IRL) and a Dungeon Fantasy (PBP) I would love to find a game here to join in.

Are there any available?

Hey me to!! I have been looking over the PBP here and wondering... I have played a few other before but never here. I have been tenatively thinking about a DFA game, but I would prefer to start as a player to get a few of things here first.

Actually I just found a game book that looks epic. "The Power of Myth" Game book looks great and then mix it with Dungeoun fantasy and set it to a fantasy world. Maybe change some names... I think it could be great.

I will start it up. I will be looking for 2-4 players.

The Legend of THE GOLDEN GENIZA OF EZKALI

"A valuable treasure awaits adventurers. An ancient legend is
their guide. The problem? It may look like a standard dungeon
crawl with puzzles and a list of clues to work from, but the
adventurers can’t agree on what clues they’re being given. How
is that going to work?"

This is a be a fantasy based adventure with about 50/50 role playing and combat. There will be something for everyone.

This will be set in a fantasy world, 250 point characters, and 40 point disadvantages. TL 4 with standard starting wealth, don't go to crazy with extra wealth as there will be a patron( but no one will need to have a advan/disadvan for it.

Races will be:

Human
Elf(High or Wood)
Dwarf
Gnome
halfling
Any other races will need to be with GM approval.

Classes are limited to templates in DF Adventurers.
Magic will be Thaumtaology based with Threshold at 50 and recovery rate at 15 a day. Advantages and such can change this.
All gear needs to come from DF or Low tech(not Fantasy)

Any other questions, PM me with them and with other interests.
Rolls will be handled by the player and through Invisiable Castle, and all players must post the link to the roll in the post they make the roll in.

I will make an occ tonight, with in depth character creation stuff, world back ground, and some other tidbits about the game. This will be my first gm so I am going to try and make it fun.

Also if we can keep it clean(not meaning sexual or cursing but neat and tidy) I think I can do more then 4 people, might even be fun to do so!

I am looking to start a Space campaign. The basic premise is that mankind has just barely figured out a FTL drive, and the characters will be on the first ship to explore other star systems. This campaign should be able to handle any sane number of players, and each player will have the option of playing both a high ranking character and a separate "front line character". The players will affect the course of the world by the decisions they make when they meet other civilizations.

The campaign should have the following:
  • Moderate TL9/10. Somewhat safetech: cybernetics and genetic manipulation are a big deal, and nanotech requires sensitive conditions. There is no AI, and hooking your brain to electronics is beyond a career choice.
  • Aliens are promised! These will be quite alien, and will require both diplomacy and combat.
  • No psionics, nor magic other than a FTL warp drive. sorry.
  • Lots of time in space. Teams will only rarely land on planets, though astroid and comet landings may be common
  • Lots of Space Junk: this version of space is full of stuff we can't see. There will be a lot of that.

While I own UltraTech and BioTech, these are not primary sources for the campaign, and not necessary (We'll be using tech with finer detail in one spot). Space is nice, and some characters ought to have spaceships, but all that is really needed is The basic set.

Players can be any Character that would be found on the ship. The following are suggestions and character that will exist, PC or not:

Ship's Captain (jurisdiction over the ship itself)
Chief Navigator
Military Chief (they have one, fluff him as you will)
Outpost director (leads those who will be establishing a post at alpha centari)
Chief of Mining (associated with the outpost)
Head of Engineering
Resident Full Cyborg (essentially no body, can use drones to "act" and can quickly acquire temporary skills. Only a few on board).

if you want to be someone else, thats good too.

Those wishing to join should send me a PM. Also, if there is an aspect of the campaign that is keeping you from joining, let me know.
