Hello folks.
First things first: I'm currently playing in a PbP, and have applications in for a few others. If I get in to more than one of those, I won't be doing this (I think three games is my maximum workload). BUT, in the event I only get in to one or none:
I'm running Emerald Spire for some folks IRL. I wrote up a primer for the purpose of fleshing out the set-up a bit and also to help guide some of the more newbie players. The biggest thing in the primer is a set of eight custom campaign traits I created to tie each player into arriving at Fort Inevitable and participating in an expedition into the dungeon. So I figured "Why not see if I can get more mileage out of that work?".
Most critically: I don't have much of a head for the various online play resources, and with the current amount of free time in my life I am uninterested in obtaining/learning/working with them. So this would be exclusively here on the boards and heavily theater-of-the-mind. I know that some players aren't fond of things being that loose and letting things like the physical situation of a battle largely boil to down to "GM's call and rule of cool" (particularly for a big dungeon crawl). As such, I wanted to test the waters if enough folks are interested in what I'm offering before I get around to writing up a full-on recruitment post.
If it goes ahead, I will be looking for four players.
For anyone involved in the PbP I'm currently playing, I am going to be completely honest and outright state I will likely be heavily biased in favor of your submissions should I go ahead with this and should you wish to participate.
If I go ahead with it, it would likely start within two to four weeks.
So lemme know what y'all think.
interest for certain
I would be interested in this as well.
I want to play very much. My IRL group is playing Emerald Spire, but I can't make those games any more. I WOULD LOVE TO PLAY THIS HERE :)
That's five people indicating interest in less than 24 hours, and I feel motivated to run this, so I just withdrew from two of the three games I was making submissions for in order to run this.
I'll have a proper recruitment thread up soon... ish. New folks scoping this out, don't hesitate to still post if you're interested. I'm busy the next couple days but expressed interest is a great motivator.
color me intrigued.
Yikes. I hope I didn't scare off everyone in this interest thread with the 15 point buy. :-/
To be blunt, I could kind of see it. People are used to higher point buys over all, and 15 was honestly kind of intimidating for me when I saw it.

That's fair. My experiences may be anomalous, but I've played many, many games with 15 point buy or standard array and it's never diluted the fun for me.

It's just a habit thing. People are used to what they're used to, and they're used to having an 18 in a stat at the start of a game.
