Hi, Paizonians,
I have a friend who has decided that he wants to run a Council of Theives PBEM. A real friend, not the kind of friend one has when trying to ask the doctor if it's normal to have something odd happening in a private place. I am not running the game, but will be playing in it. He's shy and doesn't want to post here. :)
The yahoo group is at this finely-crafted link.
If you want to know how to make a character, you can also go straight here and read the chargen, but the action will actually take place on the list. He's old-fashioned that way. Gory details of his contact information are also there.
Here's how he describes the game:
You’re a bunch of average Joes with as checkered pasts as you want caught in a vast web of dirty dealings, double crosses, and deceit in the corrupted underbelly of a once-grand city. Trapped as you are in the shadows between the forces of light and darkness, you can’t hope to solve the city’s problems, all you can do is try and make it a little lighter shade of gray.
Welcome to Westcrown, the City of Twilight.
The Crown on the Bay is your home. You've laughed, cried, sweated, and bled just to scratch a few coppers together to get another mug of hard milk to make you forget the killing fog, the rampant crime, the curfew, and the dirt a poor schlub like yourself has to put up with at the hands of the powerful and wealthy. So, when a sultry and dangerous looking woman named Janiven approaches you with a proposition you can’t refuse to join her little brigade, you’re more than willing to join the cause to satisfy your own personal agenda of revenge/justice.
Shame this isn't PbP. I'd have jumped on it, considering the CoT game I was in before died due to GM disappearance...
Same as DM Quoth. In fact, we had been in the same CoT game together.
Good news, bad news from the GM.
Good news: Wow, he's gotten lots of interest.
Bad news: Possibly more interest than he can handle if he accepts everybody.
It's a good problem to have but an awkward one to fix. He informs me that his solution is that everyone is welcome to put forward a PC, but he may have to turn some people away to keep things manageable.
