A thought or two


Online Campaigns General Discussion


I've seen a few non-pathfinder games run through these forums from time to time, offering PbP games.

I was feeling inspired recently to do the same. Would that be an O.K. Thing to do? Use Paizo's site to play non-Paizo games?

I am aware that this is PFS central and I have a couple characters constantly playing in PbP games as expected.

I suppose to some up, I'd like to Run GURPS, this format for PbP is quiet amazing and think it would do well. Will I end up getting a big slap in the face for doing so?

There are lots of non-PF/PFS games in the PbP forums, so I do not think that should be an issue at all.

If you look here:

http://paizo.com/campaigns

... you will see Eberron, and Dragonlance, and Dark heresy, and a few other non-PFS games, going on right now - so, I would say "knock yourself out" :)

What kind of GURPS do you want to run?


Alright, now that my concerns are alleviated...

I was considering an Infinite World's Game. Thus I can feasibly allow any Genre and enjoy the creation process and imagination of my players.

I'm currently running an IW game as I type this with a small group at my home. SO I wanted to see if, like PFS PBP games, I could bring more life into the game through RP.

Cool -- what sort of IW game? ISWAT agents, as per the sort-of "default" campaign, insofar as GURPS has one of those?


I suppose ISWAT would be the best way to describe that.

The emphasis of the game would be around the player's ability to be creative with the lump some of points given.

In essence, if the team proves to be more magical, we flow in line with the Cabal being our antagonist, if we prove to be more Tech-savy, Reich-5...and so on.

I enjoy building games around my player's assets to make full use of their characters as to not stifle any creativity. Then I begin the random world generations and add appropriate trails, encounters, adventures, hats...so on.
