Are there any West Marches / crawl style games going on in the forums right now? Given the player pool / low commitment thing, I thought they would be more popular in the forums.

Absurd Alhazred posted:While committing to any particular excursion is low, once you have, the expectation is that the session itself will have serious engagement. I don't know that that's easy to work with in PbP, which is already stop-and-go for any individual decision point inside of a session. I kind of wonder if there’s a different system that could serve as an in between forum posts and live sessions. A discord chat type system, perhaps? I feel like this is a common problem someone else has solved.

I was thinking x-crawls as a mechanism for having a bunch of players who all want to play but can't agree on a time when they can all play. I was exploring the idea with one of my coworkers who also wants to DM, but couldn't get enough players together on a specific night. The idea was we could grab players from other sources and add them to the pool so we could get enough of a troupe to have adventures whenever, and also maintain an overarching campaign in the world we're living in. Less individualism (since there are so many characters), and more adventure, discovery, and exploration. We're still looking for different places to recruit from. I suggested SA, only to be starkly reminded that goons are loving creepy weirdos. We've actually had mixed luck going to more public RPG forums and vetting. The difficulty is unlike our coworkers, we don't meet with these people all the time, so they tend to fall out of communication. If anyone has any better suggestions on where to recruit players for online sessions, I'd love to hear them.
