Looking to start an E-mail/IRC campaign
Because apparently I'm a masochist and desire a headache.
Anyrate, yeah, I would like to get the ball rolling on an E-mail campaign, with as many people as we can handle. I don't have the opportunity to go and sit down at a table to play, unfortunately, so I figured this might be the next best thing. If you're interested, great! Leave a comment and I'll respond (preferably E-mail) as quickly as possible. I'm on night shift, so some delays during the (US) day. And somebody tell me if I'm even allowed to ask this stuff on here. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. Edit: If you're interested in something like this, go ahead and submit a couple ideas for what kind of game you would want to be run (style, power level, etc.). After enough attention had been garnered, I'll sort through them and steay compiling a more fleshed out game. Last edited by Aagnathist; 06-13-2015 at 10:13 PM. Reason: additional information |

Re: Looking to start an E-mail/IRC campaign
This should really go in the "Gamer Finder" forum, which is in the Gnomes of Zurich section. With any luck, a moderator will move this thread there soon.
It would be helpful to potential players if you gave us some idea of the theme, setting and power level of the campaign. |

I might be interested, depending on what you're considering. Instead of pure email, have you considered using a dedicated play-by-post site, so that the game "backstory" becomes automatically archived and easily accessible? There's a forum here for such games, or whole PbP sites (with die-rollers, online character sheets, etc.) like Myth-Weavers.com which I've seen used very successfully. |

I mean, I can only speak for myself. But I think the rest of us would be happy to have you, especially if you're in the mood to GM!

I'm big on story as a GM, so I'd like description and lots of dialogue with the characters. Quote:

Re: Looking to start an E-mail/IRC campaign
Speaking for myself, while the extent of my interest would really depend on what the ultimate nature of the game ended up being (and what sort of rules / supplements / whatever were being used), if you did something like this through a PbP site (I'm most familiar with RPoL), I'd at least want to learn more about it.
Just be warned that, at least in my own experience, play-by-post games can really get bogged down hard in the wrong circumstances and kill the momentum and drive of the game—which is probably true for play-by-email, as well. They can definitely work, but they can also present a lot of challenges. |

Re: Looking to start an E-mail/IRC campaign
This sounds vaguely interesting. I'd want to know what kind of campaign, though.
