Janet's (grapefruit) Game Group [JGGG]
« on: March 29, 2010, 04:31:51 pm »

Okay, so here's what. You're used to those steam groups that play yer whachemecallzits and video whozits. We're playing on good old fucking MapTools and GameTable, and the shit we're playing is PnP and Table Top. Got it get it good.

I *know* there are more than a dozen PnP and Table Top people on these forums. We want to play with you. Or GM for you. Or have you GM with us. Or anything at all really. So--

--come play with us!

The premise of what I'm trying to organize (for Janet, and others) is pretty simple. If you're a GM? And running a game? Join and organize there. For people who want to start organizing players and campaigns and then schedule sessions, we want you, and we want to help you.

All GMs will get admin masks and be made responsible for keeping their sessions together. What I want to do is sit down and talk with all the GMs about rotations for players who can't show up at games one week or another, replacements, and "sit-ins" for GMs. I'd like for you people running games to talk with each other, so that if you can't make your game day due to emergencies or schoolwork or whatever have you because there are all sorts--get someone who can continue your session with your players so as not to inconvenience them or you.

What I'll talk about with GMs who join, is helping to organize their things, motivate and converse about their campaigns, and try and get rid of procrastination and get some friendly advice out there! Join the group, and talk to us. We'll play tons of games, and provide materials needed to players who don't have them. Just join, get motivated to play, and check in with a GM about their game.

We'll try and keep tabs on who's playing what, their campaign, and their players.

Enough about those Game Masters--if you're a player who wants to just sit down and get into a game, join up! We want both! As many as possible, just come down and join and then we'll see about everyone's games. There's room for expansion pretty much everywhere, and we got plenty of silly and plenty of serious.

WEEKENDS ARE PRIMETIME. EVERYONE WANTS TO PLAY ON THE WEEKEND, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN ALL AGREE ON A TIMESLOT.

I just decided to clear the roster until we actually HAVE a Roster.

Shit that you need:

Here's that shit.

And here. Is some more shit.

If you need materials for certain games, talk to your GM, and they'll talk to me or Janet. Great. You're all ready, now click that link near the top and start playing with us.

I wonder if it would be possible to get some Paranoia games on it. I haven't exactly had much of an experience with them, but it seems fun, going through alpha sector trying to kill each other, as well as communist mutant traitors.

You know what else would be awesome to use this for?

Warhams Fordeekay campaign.  Full on Multiple Planet thing with Planetstrike rules and epic battles.  It would be awesome.

Check out paranoia-live.net, they organize games via their application.  I may also be persuaded to kill a bunch of troubleshooters repeatedly run a game.

Yeah, kinda petered out on the VASSAL thing.  Or at least I did.  I know some people still play it after the little fad period we had in the thread.

Put me on the list for whatever, although I have virtually no experience with any one system.  I've pondered GMing a GURPS game though, so put that up if you like WD.  I don't have to be on Steam do I?  I'm going to ride the Disdain Train as far as it'll take me.

I don't want to.  I don't know what it does.  I have to believe it costs money somehow.  I can't use it for anything because my harddrive is tiny.  I think "social networking" is for retarded faggots, my presence here notwithstanding.  I fear change and am starting an anti-Steam Tea Party Grassroots Activism Public Organization to campaign against everything that I don't understand.

It only costs money if you buy stuff with it.  It keeps all your gaems in one easy to find place, they're tied to your account so the only way to ever lose a game is to lose your account (Which is pretty difficult if you have at least a quarter of your brain still functioning) and you can play them on any computer ever, just not two different computers at the same time.  It's pretty much the best thing ever.

Anyway, anyone interested in that campaign idea?  We'd have to do some fiddling to hammer down the rules, but it has potential to be insane and epic and awesome and everything in between (Except retarded)

Not interested in anything related to Warhammer, 40k or otherwise. I finally got sick of it and it's overblown fluff. I wouldn't mind trying GURPs. It looks awesome if I could ever just get the rules down. Twilight 2000 also sounds fun. Also been wanting to try MaidRPG. Although that group looks a bit big. I'd really like to either play in or GM a game of (Mongoose) Traveller. I'm currently in a D&D 4e game that's taking most of my time and patience though. If I can wrap that up, I might be back, but until then, I'm not taking on anymore responsibilities except maybe as a player.

...Once again, it's all back in the Warhammer 40K thread.  Put in the five minutes of effort to find and read it.  And remember to keep it all on the down-low, Games Workshop isn't particularly fond of people playing their games in such a way that negates needing to drop that national treasury.

I didn't even know there was one, sorry.

And my lips are sealed.

I have the app, but I'd rather not sign up on another forum. I'd rather deal with semi-strangers over the internet than complete strangers.
