What is Warden?
Warden is a multiplayer survival-horror game that pits you against a deadly shapeshifting demon controlled by one of your friends! To survive the demon’s predations, you’ll need to work together with the other Wardens on your team to evade and fend off the monster.

The demon is exceptionally dangerous, but the Wardens are not completely helpless. Each Warden has a unique skillset that allows them to fight, hide, and track their way across the map to each unholy altar in need of destroying. Only by destroying these altars can the Wardens completely exorcise the demon from the physical world.

Each time an altar is destroyed, the demon is destroyed temporarily and reforms as a completely different type of enemy, each with wildly different abilities. To survive each form, you'll have to figure out what you're up against and adapt your strategies accordingly. Should you fail to do so, you'll soon find yourselves with a lot of dead Wardens on your hands.

Well, this looks interesting. I'd be well up for giving it a try. Although if my math is correct is the time you posted for the next game only in about a half a hour? I'm not sure if that's enough time to gather a group of people if so (unless you actually already have a group of people from some other thread and I am just being a dummy)

Also, as for the requirements, I have a microphone, and I got a skype account, but I don't actually know how to use skype. Do I need a paid account or something for this? (I see something on their website about group calls being free, but I'm not sure how accurate that is or totally what it means) If so, I'l probably not be doing that game.

Skype is free. Also, given the lack of response, we're not having a game today. I'm busy tomorrow, but the Monday is fine for me.

Sure, I should be able to make it any time on Monday. How many players are there in a game by the way?

Balance-wise, I have no idea. The intended number is anywhere between two and six.

oh shoot, right. I forgot about the game tonight. As of right now, Monday looks like a good time for me.

Dwarves passing by get good thoughts from the mist of water and exploding felines.
Anyone of the equivalent to the royal bloodline in a nomadic group would have a sun tattooed on their hand, or a scrotum on their forehead (it's a little-known fact that fraternities are based off of long-forgotten tribes).

This sounds interesting. Posting to watch, but don't count on me reliably getting into any games. I'll try and join one at some point, though.

I have no time to play but I wanted to say great job on building your vision. It's not easy getting to that point and it takes courage to share it with the world. This is very impressive and I hope to spend the kind of time with it that it deserves,...... very soon.

They'll be pretty common; I'm sure one of them down the line will work with your schedule.

Thanks! When you have some free time, this'll still be here waiting.

Game today, 6:00 PST! If it needs to be a bit earlier for people on the east coast or anything, we can move it to earlier. If even just one or two people can play, I'm going ahead with the game. Make sure you have a mic and a Skype account, since that's how we'll be communicating!
