The second round of playtests for the RPGtonight Living Game are currently getting into full swing with several games every week. We have 9 GMs with a few admins acting as additional GMs, and we have decided we need more players (though we won't turn you away if you are interested in being a GM instead!). RPGtonight.com itself is an online virtual tabletop site.
This is a playtest for a unique online tabletop style "living game," that began in January and will run for several more months. The living game is a persistent "sandbox" world where multiple GMs and dozens of players all play and interact within the same game world. It is quite a bit different from traditional living games like Living Greyhawk. The GMs, as well as the players, play the game, taking the part of noble houses who must hire adventuring parties of players to accomplish their goals and work against a menacing evil that is slowly rising up to threaten their kingdom. GMs can occasionally become players in the admins' or other GM's games, going on various missions. Think of it as an MMO game done tabletop style.
If interested please take a look at the information on the main page of our site and in the Living Game Information and Recruitment section of our message boards (www.rpgtonight.com, then use the "text bulletin board" button near the top of the left column). Then post in the Living Game recruitment thread or PM "Living Game". Free rules sets are emailed to GMs and players promptly.
Game times depend on the schedules of the GMs and the players. The playtests use the D&D 4e system, simply because that is what most people in the world are playing right now.
We also run beginner's games on most Saturday nights, starting at 8PM Eastern time US. These are intended for people who are new to tabletop roleplaying, and also for people who are new to RPGtonight and want some practice in using the system. If you are interested in getting into a beginner's game, please post in the beginner's game thread.
