Shadowdark

[Rex]

I would be up for giving it a try.

[Odin One Eye]

Me too.

[ybn1197]

I'm still interested. And I like Shaidar's suggestion. This way, the game doesn't get held up and interest lost.

[beniliusbob]

I'd be interested.

As for posting rate, what I've seen work well in other games is set 'update days', e.g. Sunday, Tuesday, friday. If someone doesn't post their player action in time for the next update the game moves on. Just a thought.

That's a great idea, thanks shaidar! Similar to my philosophy for the tabletop where people get sucked into a temporally anomalous pocket dimension if they can't make the game lol.

I'd likely aim for resolutions on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday or thereabouts.

[beniliusbob]

Looks like there are at least four people interested, so I'll see about creating a thread...

[shaidar]

Well, thank Pulpatoon, that's when I saw it first used, in one of his games.

It also means people know how much time they have to formulate their next action, consider it and post at a convenient time.

[OGRE MAGE]

I’m guessing they’ll fill up during the early VIP sales.

Yeah, most likely.

Actually, Scott might not know this, as he is only a volunteer.....( inside joke)

But GHC's policy is to leave at least 2 seats in every game open to general registration. Including the Special Guest games.

So, there is a chance for regular badge holders to get in every game they offer.

I’m interested in trying Shadowdark as well. If there’s still interest, I’d be happy to run a game here using the Quickstart rules and the free adventure that comes with them (Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur).

As dmw pointed out, some hacking would be required for Shadowdark to run in PBP, but I don’t think there’s anything insurmountable.

I’d be thinking a posting rate of every other day/three times a week, GM rolls except for spicy stuff (like death related rolls), rules as written as much as possible to test the mechanics, with four to six players.

Let me know what you think!

I really want to try this system as well, but I know I have some hospital time coming up that will likely have me away from the games for a short while.

I wouldn't want to put any burden on the progress, so if it works for you, I will watch as this game develops in hopes of jumping in at some point in the future.

Absolutely! We’ll start small and see how it grows. It’s a very intriguing system on paper, so I’m excited to see how it plays.

Awesome!

Looking forward to it!

Thanks!

[Rex]

Me too. I have come to dislike 5e and hoping this fixes that.

As opposed to my daughter, Gamehole Jones (pronounced gamma hole-ay), who is the convention CEO, founder, and namesake.

And, wow, that's a deep cut on that inside joke! Going back to the old GHC forum for that one. Nice job!

Rob is correct. I had forgotten that at least two seats will be held for general registration. So, I'm saying there's a chance. And let's be honest, some of those wishlists will have them lower priority than other games in that time frame or other special events and so won't take one of those seats. I know I have one of them on my wishlist, but I have other games higher on the list that I hope to get into instead.

[beniliusbob]

Alright, I think I've got the campaign set up and shaidar, ybn1197, Rex, and Odin One Eye added. Character generation rules and a place for character sheets has been set up.

My apologies in advance for any technical shenanigans on my end.

Hey all. I’m looking for a couple more players for this game. Let me know if you’re interested!

[Marullus]

I'd love to, as I started the thread! But I can't keep up with post-rate right now.

No worries! Maybe we’ll have to think about the posting rate if this is too fast for most…

[beniliusbob]

... and... we are good! Thanks all.

Just wanted to alert you folks to the new game starting up here: viewtopic.php?p=684153

Also, I'm not sure if $100 for the whole shebang is good or not, but I just saw this on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/145521866140

[Scott308]

That package was $109 in the Kickstarter. Granted, that also included PDFs of things, but it is a reasonable price. I don't know how hard it is to find any Shadowdark stuff, but neither Noble Knight nor Dragon's Trove have anything in stock.

I just got my book from the kickstarter today.
