Eventually, soon.... maybe?
« on: August 18, 2006, 08:21:42 am »
I've been tossing around some ideas in my head, and I think I'd like to run another game sometime soon, for some definition of 'soon'. 

The problem is, I want new characters. 

I'm going to limit your characters much more strictly.  I'll only allow you to choose from the basic races (human, elf, dwarf, probably), and you will have significantly lower stats than normal, to start with. 

Also, it will not be a combat-oriented game.  It will be more about exploration, thinking, and social skills. 

And when I say "soon", I probably mean after I go camping, which is September 8 - 11.  After that, I should have more free time.  And yes, I realize that school will be started, but you'll get over it.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Sure, anybody who wants to can play.  Go ahead and give him access to this forum. 

I only want to have 4-5 players, though, no more.  So only people who seriously want to play need apply. 

I should also mention: you aren't going to start with money or weapons.  You have been warned! :P

I will play unless something weird happens (which it shouldn't.. school would have just started and as far as I know I don't have Saturday practices).

I am in. Probably only on the weekend, though, I don't know how intense homework is going to be this year, but I doubt I'll have time on the weekdays.

Assuming I get the job, I'll probably be working Saturdays. I made sure to take Wednesday and Sunday off, though.

I'm interested in playing again, especially if it's Shadowrun! Also, I concur with Blaze's gnome request. :)
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Yeah, no, no gnomes.  It's going to be a human-only game, but you can take an elf, dwarf, or vaard (barbarian)-style human.  And I think I'm going to stick with T&T, I don't feel like making an online Shadowrun game, and I don't think most of you have the dice and stuff to play it forreal.

Does SR use d20 or something?  I have like..50 d6, and dpowers-of-2

Anyway, I do definitely want to play.

Nope, SR is totally D6.  But I'm not going to assume that everybody who's here actually has 20d6 (which should be the most needed). 

Plus, the ideas I'm thinking of involve a fantasy world.  Although, they could also be applied to a future-world, of sorts.  It wouldn't be the Shadowrun world, but I could probably run it in a cyberpunk-style world, if you guys want. 

I'll make a poll.

Haha.

I'm totally down for going out and buying 20 dice if that's all it takes for shadowrun. Or even better I could simply program some dice, but eh?

Or you could just use 2 or 3 dice, roll them, write down the numbers, and then re-roll till you've rolled 20 times.  But I have 50, so I rock.  Actually, I have like 70, but some are trick dice (I have one that's got a 5 on every side, and another with only 4's and 6's.  Did I mention my powers-of-2 die?
