In the halls of Geryon | Quarrel + Fable [currently full: comment for waitlist]

[seanfsmith]

Some come for the glory. Some, for the gold. You've got debts to pay and you know you'll find treasure enough in the Halls of Geryon.

Content: french vanilla fantasy dungeon crawl
Aim: equal parts exploration and scuffles in a procedurally stocked dungeon
Tone: weekend fantasy film: if Harryhausen directed Discworld
Scope: short posts once most days, with a month for the first "season"

We'll be using Quarrel + Fable which is open ended chargen and light on rules. For the sake of speed, I'll be making the rolls as GM. It's a game in the old school British tradition (more Puffin than Games Workshop) with small resource pools and steep odds.

Let me know interest below --- or ask any questions here or via PM! No experience necessary: I don't run games where system mastery is important.

EDIT: Three spaces filled, room for two more

Can you give a more of an overview of the rules then just light on rules and British? Thanks

Sure thing! Full rules are available for free here --- http://seanfsmith.itch.io/quarrel --- but for the most part uncertain actions are 2D6 vs 9+, or 3D6K2 vs 9+ with advantage; advantage is gained either from exploiting the fiction or by spending from a small pool of resources based on specialisms or pure LUCK

Thanks, I will take a look at the rules later when I have a bit more time.

Hello! I'll read the rules later today

[Doubtful Gamer]

I am interested in playing, and have familiarity with Q+F (Hello, Sean!)

Welcome ragman and Doubtful Gamer!
Just an fyi that we require two Moderator approved posts before you are all set to game, PM and post without delay!
Again welcome!!

Hello! I am interested! Going to post a 2nd time in this thread to reach the 2 post minimum, hope that works?

[sspfjimble]

I really like how Q+F handles magic. I'll try to look at the spells at the beginning of the day and not during posting to maintain that memory-based charm.

Thanks rredmond!

Just as Steve Jackson (UK) intended!

I'll be kicking off the game in a bit: let me know if you want to be added! (No worries if not, and also there's scope to join later on too if "not now" is the answer.)

I was wondering how we'd replicate the spells-by-memory thing over play-by-post, I like this idea

[Rex]

Sorry, I got side tracked and forgot to look at the rules. I will try and make some time.

[tibbius]

I'm interested!

[Rex]

I looked it over. I think I am going to pass for now, but will check in and follow along some to see how it goes.

Thanks for looking it over nonetheless!

I'm interested!

Haven't finished reading the rules yet, but this hits that nostalgic sweet spot from playing all those gamebooks when I was a kid. I'm in!

Snazzy! I'll add you to the group — roll up a character and add it to the character list as and when you do
