I'm considering running ROTRL in Fate Accelerated (FAE), with Killershrike's house rules that kinda-sorta emulate PF1 in some respects. The game would be over email, and I already have a spot saved for 3 players, but I'd like to know if anyone here would be interested in one of the last 3 slots?
What I'm looking for:
- - People preferably not too familiar with ROTRL already, though this is negotiable for people whose writing style I really enjoy.
- - People with excellent writing skills, as we'll be leaning heavily on the narrative.
- - Adults who know how to amp up the drama.
- - People who know how to work with everyone else to make a compelling story, and not just attempt to play someone invulnerable (or otherwise cheese a narrative game), or ignore the tone of the scene or what other players write, or otherwise not get into the spirit of things.
- - People who recognize that ghosting a game instead of explaining that you're dropping out is an a$$#ole move.
None of us are all that familiar with FAE yet, so system mastery is a plus, but absolutely not required. All that's really non-negotiable is that you be an adult who can spell, has a decent vocabulary, uses punctuation - and are fun to be around/game with.
About me:
I'm primarily a GM who has focused heavily on PF1 since it came out, 3.5 DnD before that, and been a player for a chunk of the 2e DnD era as well. I tried a bit of PF2, but I'm looking for something with less crunch and more meat now. My GM'd games have almost exclusively been PBEM - to reiterate, this game would also be a pbem, NOT a pbp.
Like pbp, the pace is slow - and it's slower as everyone already slotted for it, including me, have real life and jobs going on. My posting requirement is minimum once a week, but preferably more often - and if you wait too long, and I have time to post, you forfeit your action. I generally only guarantee you one day to reply - after that, it's fair game (but I'm reasonable about life happening).
If you're interested, drop a comment and a link to your favorite post or game that you're writing in (or were writing in). I don't mind some character concepts, either - nothing fully built to FAE, though, as I give no guarantees. Just the idea and some sense of your writing style and expectations, or maybe also the High Concept and an Aspect (just one, make it count).
Any questions, feel free to ask. And in case this is read far into the future - you can DM me regardless. I don't always hang around the boards but I do pop in from time to time when not recruiting. Patience IS a key ingredient in text games, after all. ;)
