Game: Multidimensional Exploration: Cold War Edition System: GURPS Players: 5 Description: The year is 1955 and Operation Paperclip has borne fruit. Captured Nazi scientists have created a method of visiting alternate universes, and we've gotten there before the Soviets. This advantage may not last, and it's up to your team to collect resources and technology which may tip the balance of the Cold War. This game is mostly an excuse to use GURPS to visit different fictional settings and have the players steal their poo poo. I need 5 players. This will be PbP on the forums.

Game: Godgame: Best-laid Plans of Gods and Men System: homebrew, simple dice pool stuff Format: PbP Description: A godgame! We’ve already got players, but anyone can submit mortal prayers to be delivered to the gods. Check the first few posts in the thread for details (you’ll need PMs or discord). There’s also a good chance I’ll add a fifth god-player a week from now at the start of the second 'Age' of the game (if you're interested in that, check the discord link in the first post to join the OOC channel and stay updated).

Game: Dead Souls System: Warhammer Fantasy Format: PbP Players: 4-5 Description: I'm a newbie GM looking to run a short one-shot adventure using WFRP 2e. I'm looking for 4-5 players in their starting careers with a preference for balanced roles in the party. The game will be sandbox-style with the PCs introduced to each other and then free to roam a remote town in the Empire. While there is a story/quest for them to follow, I won't be forcing the PCs from scene to scene. The party will be able to explore the town and do other activities. Since combat can be lethal to PBP games I will be speeding up and simplifying combat although it will be possible. Panama Red fucked around with this message at 20:38 on Nov 17, 2021 |

Game: Queer Strife after the Collapse System: Dream Askew Format: Live on Saturday, via Discord text Players: 1-3 Description: An enclave of queer folks that have survived after the first wave of post-apocalypse (there's still a Society Intact elsewhere, but it doesn't want to be reminded that we exist) deals with the challenges presented by this arduous environment. We are those folks; we are that enclave; we are that environment. This is a very peculiar game, related to PbtA but that evolved quite differently. It's called Belonging Outside Belonging, or sometimes No Dice, No Masters. No Dice because you roll no dice; instead each playbook get weak moves (that grant a token), strong moves (that cost a token), and normal moves (that do not interact with the token economy). No Masters because, instead of giving all the responsibility of the NPCs and the world on the GM, it's shared amongst players; when your PC is not present in a scene, you'll be handed a mini-playbook representing a setting element that's relevant to the scene at hand, such as the Digital World, the Outlying Gangs or the Society Intact. It's a very peculiar, very unique sort of game and I've been wanting to try it for a long while. We'll be playing with a friend of mine; I am on GMT+2 and am available for most of the day and evening. Please message me here, or on Discord at PXG#0373 if you're interested. paradoxGentleman fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Nov 23, 2021 |

Game: The Grimdarkening of the Old World System: grimDARK: A Fistful of Ashcan Edition Format: PbP Players: 3-6 Description: Old World flavor, grimDARK feel! I'm running Games Workshop's world-famous Old World setting in the nominally-successful Ashcan edition of grimDARK: The Grimdarkening! This is a game you can buy and play now, in a setting a lot of people know and love. No experience is required with either Warhammer OR grimDARK and, indeed, I'll be doing a fair amount of stuff totally differently from your average WFRP game, so lore-policing is not welcome and a different tone should be expected. Come learn an awesome new game - copies of the current edition of grimDARK will be provided.  Come and get your grimDARK on!

Game: Forget it Jake it's Little Cyre System: D&D 4e Format: Foundry/Discord Players: 4-6 Description: Play Inquisitives (Private Eyes/Bounty Hunters) working in the seedy underbelly under Sharn dealing with typical Noir shenanigans! Deal with gangs fighting over the typical gang stuff: narcotics, numbers racket and other gambling issues, smuggling illegal esoteric arcane meant to help end Eberron. Try and stop the violent religious and political strife between nationalists, revolutionary republicans and socialists, and religious zealots who plot to overthrow Breland's monarchy, other nation's governments, or all three! Uncover occult, blasphemous cults from unleashing demons from another plane of reality or stop a capitalist war profiteering plot to upend the city council. Union bust...errr...wait...This is going to focus more on the Noir and pulp elements of Eberron. It'll start with Continental Ops style stories in Sharn, but soon you'll be globe trotting in Greywalls and other interesting locations uncovering mysterious and punching NotNazis in the face while trying to stop everyone from ending the world and balancing allies who have their own agendas and goals in mind.

Trying out Strike to have a faster, more flexible go at things and still have some chunky grid-based tactical combat. Got the House Ariness and Defender seeked so if anyone else wants to join in they can be a lot more free with character design.

 Come explore Orokos! Silly map exploration game, where players collectively vote on what a party of three Heroes set out to do to explore the map. The twist: the Heroes, quests, monsters, treasures and other stuff are randomized, drawn from a spreadsheet that players and lurkers fill out. Also some goofy illustrations.

I would like to once again advertise my Blood on the Clocktower thread. BOTC is a Werewolf/Mafia type game that I wish to run for goons on Discord Voice Chat. It is noteworthy for having no real player elimination, a gamemaster, and power roles for everyone. It's a social deduction game, but people more into puzzle solving will have enough of that to hang onto to have fun. Please join us!

Everyone in the village seems to be from somewhere else in the multiverse but no one knows how anyone got lost in the forest. Everyone starts with a farmhouse and small plot of land in the town.

Only you're not in the swanky bits downtown where the big name heroes hang out. You have the Blackstone District. Once long ago it was where the factories that built Halycon were located but these days it's a bit of a slum. Still the new Blackstone Regeneration Project is going to revitalise the area maybe and it's certainly shaking things up and a new team of heroes could really make a difference. You could really make a difference.

Description: A sequel (but no continual storylines or characters etc) to my original God game. It will be illustrated and probably pretty silly, though things got very serious indeed last game sometimes! Even if you're not picked (randomly) to be a God, you can still be a Wisp, influencing the rolls of the Gods and tweaking the outcome of their pronouncements. And then once their turn is done, you have a chance to become a God yourself (a chance increased by your earlier participation, no less!) It's good fun for an unlimited amount of people, so join up!

Game: The Red Desert: pilot episode! System: Trinity Continuum AEon Format: Roll20 w/voice Time: Currently August 12th, 5-9 PM PST, but open to more sessions or other times Slots: 4-6 Description: Welcome, agents of the AEon Trinity, to the fourth planet from the sun - Mars. Just beyond the direct purview of the Orders, long overshadowed by the promise of lusher worlds beyond Sol, this world has been long overlooked by the great powers and perhaps become of that, evil has been allowed to find refuge in its shadows. All that is about to change when the AEon Trinity brings a new team of heroes to the domes and deserts of Mars, hoping to reverse the neglect of the path and put Mars on a better footing. Inspired by the sci-fi TV shows of the 1990s and early 2000s (X-Files through Battlestar Galactica), this is the pilot episode of a series of linked one-shots that will take the heroes across (and below) the surface of Mars as they delve into the troubles of the Red Planet and change the course of its future. Pregenerated characters (with some empty spaces for personalization) will be provided, one for each of the psionic disciplines. Given that this is a one-shot which aims to deliver a complete adventure in around four hours, familiarity with the Trinity Continuum, AEon setting, and Storypath system is preferred. That said, think of this as the pilot episode of a show where the kinks are still being worked out (I'll probably run the pilot two or three times with different groups before starting to charge for the full season.) Roll20 (w/voice) will be used as our virtual tabletop!
