interest check: Into the Odd

#1 Post by tibbius »

Here is the author's free teaser version of the game (It contains all the rules that I think are needed to play):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B6MR1KW ... RVblk/edit

and here is a link to the page for the full version:
http://www.bastionland.com/2014/11/into ... d-pdf.html

I'm interested in guiding 2-5 players through a somewhat weird urban adventure using these rules. The adventure will be tailored to the characters.

Anyone interested in trying this out?

Some time back, there was an Into the Odd game on here. I'm in- assuming you get enough people.

I’m always interested, but currently a bit overwhelmed with work and other RL matters. I think I’m maxed out on the number of characters I can responsibly run. Do really enjoy the weirdness of this game, though. Have fun! :)

If we can get three people I think that would be enough to begin with, then we could go on from there.

The action will open at a public execution. Your protagonists will have some relationship to the condemned - friends, foes, bounty hunters, arresting officers, investigators, victims or their relatives, something like that - you figure it out in this thread.

seems like a pretty simple system, but an interesting premise

i'll give it a go, for at least one scenario, maybe more

Wow! Thanks for the interest.

I've abruptly gotten busy with work and side projects - including writing some adventure scenarios for the Tiny Trove associated with Tiny Dungeon rules - and I'm already running two games and trying to start playing in a third.

This third game, if I ran it, would be sporadic on my side. Probably not more than twice a week DM posts.

If everyone's ok with that pacing, I will step off on this fairly soon.

no problems here. Just because I'm on this site every day doesn't mean that's a good thing...

:lol: It's a coping mechanism ... as long as I don't let it interfere with the rest of my life I'm fine with it.

Awesome. I don't have rights to post however. Is that correct?

Not yet.
Once tibbius adds folks to the forum/group, then you can post. The DMs are in charge of that so no posts go astray. :)
Have fun!!
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.

sorry about that - always forget that step. Just added you all to forum and pm'd you with link and list of players.
