Doran said:OK, that settles it. Let's do this. Let us assume we all want this to happen in the 1920s as Lovecraft had it and as the CofC game had it too. (And as we are on the Lounge.)
1. Who wants to be Keeper/referee?
2. How does one handle dice rolls over the ether? for that matter, having only played such games in person, how does one do any of this over the ether?
3. Who wants to be involved?
If no one else wants to do #1, I will (I do have experience). But someone who has done this online before might be better.
Doran said:whoah. I need to digest this. Is there a referee?
Badluck Brody said:Now we could go HP LC 20's??? or just go with a generic Pulp. Which could include a bit of everything from demons and madmen, to machines and such...
20's early 30's = smaller world effect, less technology, recent world war, prohibition era gangbusters and such. All the 'players' should know is the start date. What's 'out there' is the unknown - save for the referee and a neutral party*1.
I'd also suggest a generic town or city and let it roll with the indifferent locations. MUST START AT ARKHAM!
It's all about simple fun....or is it insane fun??? Glub glub glub.. they all float down here, Mister.
jenny_dreadful said:I've played similar forum games to the one Badluck Bordy listed, and yes, in my experience there were board moderators who pulled strings, made up starting points for threads, etc. But in the ones I've played, it was too free-form; whatever the players were making up wasn't as interesting as being led along a real mystery that was pre-conceived by a keeper.
Doran said:I HATE FREE-FORM ANYTHING. Dancing, music, poetry, novels, sports ... you name it, if it's free form, I hate it.
VE MUST HAVE DISCIPLINE. Jenny, I nominate you as referee. PERFECTIONISM IS GOOD.
carebear said:Like a focussed "Stream of Consciousness" thread.
That should end well..
Doran said:It seems to me best for us to take it to another site, or not have it on here for other people to walk into. Not have an open thread for anyone to come in. I doubt the bartenders would be interested in working on that.

Badluck Brody said:...that someone should buy another round!!
I'm also all for someone pulling the main strings and running the NPC's. This keeps folks from going superman and taking over the show..
I also agree that the bartenders probably have their hands full as it is...if we keep it fun, who's to really care?
So in the next day or so, if folks can have a basic character discription and maybe an optional NPC??
Do we need to generate stats and skills?
I've always likes to include advantages and especially disadvantages
If we do, we should only send them to the moderator and just use discriptions or sketches to describe the characters in the storyline. This keeps other characters in the dark about what characters have under their sleeves.
So the question is.....
Fixed timeline or generic?
Stats or not?
Hidden or open stats?
Where is the location?
Who will direct the 1st story?
How can I help?
As I said, I would be glad to also work as supporting cast!!
Just let me know!!
