Our Westmarches Style Earthdawn 4e game has taken off, and we're looking for more, and more active, players. Westmarches is a game style that allows for multiple GMs running multiple games during the week, with players driving the action by seeking out their own plotlines and following up on leads the GMs seed through the adventures they run.
"What happened to the Duke's Manservant?"
"Who are the cultists we fought in the last adventure?"
"This thread sword has a companion shield, where would I find that?"
"I need a new Troajin Mount."
Players may find themselves in ever-rotating teams of new adepts, using fantastic magic to cast spells, to swing swords, or to sneak better than normal people could ever hope to, and all while forging an intuitive connection that means they learn new talents in days, not months.
The game is played through this discord: https://discord.gg/HnVMgRM

Aww... I love Earthdawn, was expecting a PbP game :( Would be awesome!
Not PbP, but 'play when you want'. The more players we have, the more often games will become available.
Up to 11 registered characters, with 23 people and 3 GMs on the Discord, but we need more bodies! Thus far residents of Throal have paid to remove threats to burgeoning farmland and to help secure a new Troll Moot; to avenge road-workers being harassed by a very chompy Gnasher; and have put up several other bounties for rescue or exploration. Adventuring adepts have discovered some kind of horrible insect queen in the mountains north of the city, and a smithing horror has abandoned a cave less than a day's travel away, after marking two adepts. Bandits have taken to the hills. A Troll Archer has escaped justice. The Adepts have run across an entirely new kind of scavenging animal called a 'gost' which is "a totally metal bone-plated bear-thing that eats the bones of the dead" that could serve as mount or animal companion. A Horror-forged sword of exceptional power has been seized. And so much more...

And I had such high hopes of resurrecting my T'skrang Archer too...
We're not saying EarthDawn isn't awesome. It is. It's Shadowrun in D&D land. You got Horrors, you got blood-pebble armor, it's the total package.
But I'm on Paizo so much that it's so easy to add a game here, and so hard to try and remember another game on another site.
Come set up a PbP here. We promise it'll be worth it. =)
Well, my problem is I'm not from the US, so... language and time hussle (when you can play, I must sleep, mostly). That's why I do this on PbP (I can take my time to put a post together).
Time is not an issue for us. Language might be a barrier if you're not quite fluent in English, but we have both American and Australian GMs which means games can and have been at any time.
GMs free at GMT+8 and GMT-5 have us covered at a spread!
