I'm running a game on Roll20 in the near future
Guess what? There IS a game on Roll20 now!
Join if there's a game on.
And you are (probably) interested in joining me.
Let's cut to the chase. I'm not sure what game to run and the main concern is which one will be the most popular. So I'll let you fellows decide!
Here's the games I was looking at with links and haiku descriptions. I have all of these rulebooks, so don't worry about that detail.
Spoiler: GAMES (click to show/hide)
And here's a profile on how and when I run games.
Spoiler: ME (click to show/hide)
If you want to get involved, just vote and drop a line. If you want me to know some more, maybe post about what you're cool with in a roleplay and what you aren't, along with your general preferences for characters etc.
Remember, we're going to be playing on Roll20. If your computer starts screeching in tongues when you use that program, consider another roleplaying group.
I'm looking for anything from 2-4 players, and if we get enough we might even start splitting groups and make this into a megathreead.
Hoping we all have a good time here.

* BlitzDungeoneer  thinks Kevak should take that opinion and shove it where the sun don't shine because he's been waiting way too fucking long for this.
If that didn't tip ya off, I'm very interested.

Hum I am not sure what got you to pm me as I don't remember applying for any IRC but I am flattered and interested hahaha.
My vote would be for NWoD or maybe you would consider shadowrun?  It does have a fair bit of rules but I've also played it for about a year's worth of weekly 4 hour sessions so I know most/all of the rules and can help.  (plus it supports an absolutely massive amount of character gen options and you can make up your own magic on a whim.  It's also urban fantasy/sci-fi like the other games you have mentioned.)

edit on second note I didn't realize the gmt +0 thing, and where I have a new job that requires me to be up really early for the summer I can not start a game at midnight.  Ah well darn.

Not the best timing considering I'm hoping for employment over summer and will likely end up taking anything I'm offered so that I can afford to live next year. That said, if perchance I could make it, I'd be up for this :P

Of the games I'd vote for Don't rest your head, but I can't give a day without divination abilities, so count any guaranteed players votes over mine :)

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

Looks like Fiasco and DRYH are neck and neck! I can't stand the tension.

I voted on NWoD out of pure familiarity, but once I decided to read up on Fiasco, it sounds like a blast, so feel free to add another 'ghost' vote to the tally.

I'd also suggest looking into GUMSHOE games (Trail of Cthulhu being likely the most famous one) - they are pretty rules light and extremely narrativist, but it also requires some ahead planning of the clues to prevent the plot from getting stuck, which may prevent some issues.

E: You know what? Fiasco sounds like it could use a custom SS13 playset :P

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

I tried making one a few yonks back. I'll see if I can dig it up from the graveyard of my 'stuff' folder.

Well, I was thinking that with a lot of these games (Specifically Fiasco) can be quite short and/or easy to plan, so we could have multiple games running at the same time with the votes contributing to their priority.

Doublepost, but wow. This has been neck and neck between Monsterhearts, DRYH, and Fiasco...
... Honestly, I did put in a vote for Monsterhearts, so that can be removed. Still, the extra vote is a surprise, since it's a bit of a hard game to sell. More popular then Apocalypse World, even.

In all fairness Monsterhearts was the second game I was interested in...

But I didn't know what to think about it.
