The playtest is upon us!
I have three face to face games currently running and no time to add in one for the Playtest. But really want to join in.
I live in a remote area with unreliable internet. I've already tried roll20 but the voice was not possible.
So I am able to either play in a Play by post or on roll 20 based text.
I'm very active, and even on play by post I can usually reply within an hour or less.
I'd really like to playtest, so if you know of anyone running a game of Doomsday Dawn text based please let me know!
Cheers!
haha, oddly enough I just posted a question on the playtest forum asking how possible this would even be to do.
It might be that PBP is just too slow for the stated purpose of providing feedback in a timely manner to Paizo via Surveys. But if there was some other way to participate that *would* be fun.
It's not pbp, but I'll be running the game as a pbem, and I think I can push the party's size to 6 to include you both if you'd like to join.
In all likelihood, it will be too slow for the surveys, but if you're just looking for a game...
(I'm in Europe and I've got to get some sleep, so don't feel bad if you have questions and I don't answer immediately. :P)
Never done pbem before! How does it work exactly? Like a mailing list? Do you carry out all the rolls?
Pretty much as you describe it! We use Yahoo Groups as our mailing list, and I handle the rolls (though I'm open to letting you roll on Paizo if that's a dealbreaker). Other than that, it's pretty much like pbp. I usually throw together a support site with character images and descriptions, and whatnot.
ETA: YG has a Files section where I usually put my preferred character sheet for you to use, and any maps, too. Obviously I won't have a sheet ready this time, but the maps will go there.
I have only played one pbp game so far. Still playing it, and my experience is that even though it runs slower than a face to face game, since you're playing every day and online most of the time it ends up going at around the same pace, if not only slightly slower.
Heck why not. I'm up for it! I'll DM you my email address and we can go from there!
Of course I won't read the adventure.
Excellent! I've sent an invitation to the group to you.
Send it to me as well please.
Done. :)
