Ok
You don't mind working as a small team with several NPC's do you?
Seems every time I try to run it it fails, maybe converting it to pathfinder will get the right teamworky people to play

Oh ho hum listening to the DnD 3.75 conversation is pretty interesting. I might watch it. Gunslinging Hm? That's sorta interesting.

The game I want to run might be a bit confined when it comes to guns, [blah blah blah Nerjin doesn't care], maybe revolvers.

Revolvers you say? Can we get a yes or no on this? Because if you would let me use Revolvers I would be... Very partial to joining the game. After all, they do call me "Revolver".

I was thinking revolvers and revolver rifles but they would be rare and expensive

Big old pile of pathfinder guns. Dedicated character class. It's amazing they had the stones to add that crap.

And yeah, those things cost like upwards of 1000 gold for your average cheap-ass pistol. Two-handed guns just scale up. Ammo costs are ludicrous too. They balanced them way better than most fantasy games that include guns for completion's sake.

Ya I'm still not sure if I want to put money into that campaign or not.
I'm thinking of just having all loot be handed into the old man (a guy who sends the group on missions and diplomatic things) and then new equipment be given to the group and refills for ammo and the such.

I don't need much. But I'd like to try doing a dual weilding revolver guy. Or not. I'm still waiting for the OOC thread to pop out.

OOC for my game?


I'm thinking higher level equipment later in game. So revolvers may take awhile to get, but several flintlocks could be a starting set

You don't need no stinkin' money for this! There's a system reference document!

Lately I've had this thought in my head about starting a forum game where you're a member of 50 Blessings. Pretty much Hotline Miami: The Forum Game, except it'd be with a different character, maybe even in a different city. I also had thoughts about whether it would be completely text based, or use ASCII pictures to signify what happens during missions.

What anyone be interested in a Hotline Miami suggestion game? And if so, would you have any suggestions for a first time GM?

Hmmm.... a hotline miami based game would probably have to be themed that way rather than mechanically similar, due to the pacing. Then again, I'm sure there'd be some way to make it work.

For first time GMs: Try to find a balance of not railroading without being completely goalless. the players should always have something to aim for, otherwise they'll get sidetracked and start breaking the game. Not entirely sure what else to add. A lot comes down to practice.

-----

Anyway, the reason I popped down here:
Exams nearly done, so readying for another game.

Would there be any interest in a game where the players are vaguely descended from monsters (mythical variety), and are soldiers fighting in an elite unit on the losing side of a war. They are more powerful than most, but can lose control due to their monstrous blood. Would probably be rather dark.

Would probably join it.
Or want to, anyway, given that these things tend to start either while I'm not looking or asleep.
And then all the spots are taken.

How do games like Ye Gods get 18 players? I'm trying to maintain 12 for the United Assembly and it's an uphill struggle. I need to replace 8 people now.
