Brave new world

#1 Post by shroomofinsanity »

So while I have been playing/dming since 2008 (yes that means my true first edition was 4th) I have been playing since then, on all kinds of systems and games. White Wolf, 3rd-5e dnd, some pathfinder, and just a taste of Torchbearer and Mouseguard.

I have never used a play by post system and am interested in it. Mostly to play/run Torchbearer if possible as I am in love with that entire system and play dynamic.

I hope I get the chance to really try out some of this stuff. Feel free to ask or even start that debate I know is coming about 4th edition. Though I would much rather talking about settings, and world building if I have the chance.

Welcome, shroomofinsanity. You're definitely in the right place, and have arrived at a pretty good time as there seems to be a fair amount of interest in Torchbearer lately.

Good luck finding or starting a game, and definitely don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions.


Enjoy!

True, I stand corrected! - 1e is the pinnacle. Even the 2e books are a big let down.

Not to start an edition war, but I respectfully disagree. ;)

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.
