As the title says!! Just wanted to post on how great it is to see so many posts in this & the Playing sections of the board. I've been around these section so long that I've felt like changing my title to Keeper of the Games. While of course you come to the Reaper forums for painting & sculpting, it's just nice to see that there is nice following of games to be played on here as well.

 

Keep it up!!

I'm tempted to set up a Shadowrun game here, though I'm aware that it would be difficult to make sure players all had access to the book since it's not free and there's no easily accessible SRD for it like there is for many games. Eclipse Phase might work too, though. In any case, like Kangaroorex, I want to get some more PbP experience under my belt first before I give it a whirl.

What system is it, Knight?

 

EDIT: Allow me to refine my question.  I read your introduction to it.  Is it all just generally conceptual, or are you using a specific system?

As LK is underway, I'll tell you what I know.  He is using a system; one of the Old Box revivals (original red box remake).  Somewhere in the thread he says which one it is, and that he has house ruled it. 

 

However, as players, it is effectively conceptual.  We don't make any rolls (either for combat or character generation).  We give LK a synopsis of our character (Chance is shepherd/farmer that learned to shoot a bow and fight from a passing soldier that wintered in the hamlet) and he generates the sheet.  We describe our actions, and he makes the rolls and tells us the result (in descriptive text not "you do x points of damage).  It's quite fun and I don't worry about my rolls, just what happens in the story.

You do not need books.

 

I don't believe I ever actually admitted what system we're using, although I teased ShadowRaven with a number of them. ::P: Suffice to say, the rules are more of... guidelines, and I have a tendency to pick and choose which ones suit my needs at the time. If it works in an iteration of Dungeons & Dragons, I can make it work for our purposes. Sometimes, this involves invisible "Good Stuff/Bad Stuff" to make things work (which is how you characters like Wolf and Chance - simple farm boys - working out well alongside mysterious alien women and griffin-headed goblin ranger-thieves.)

 

(Yes, I'm well aware that's not a D&D based/inspired/modified game. I steal from everything.)

 

But the moral of the story is - you worry about concept, I'll worry about mechanics.

 

And DD, thank you for covering for me. ^_^
