Online Play By Post

By Adminis Storm, in Dark Heresy Gamemasters

Heya everyone, I don't know if I'm allowed to ask about this, but is there people here that play Dark Heresy online. Using the pbp method. I would love to start a game or play in a game of DH. I guess I forgot to mention that I can post often and have a working knowledge of the game. Another question is do they allow pbp here at FFG. I looked and have not seen anything. It might be a great addtion to set up a section for online play.

I run a game called Purge the Unclean! at herocentral.net

We are about to finish "Illuminations", though one PC is 'solo'ing' "The Price of Knowledge".

Are you looking for an extra player Karl? If so I can fill any role that the group needs.

I'm running a game at the mo on ktbtw.freeforums.org, we have room for one more, in any career of your choice, we already have an assassin, a guardsman, a tech priest, a Psyker and an Adept (though he isn't posting alot :/).

Sign up if you're interested :D

I've run some Play-by-Post sessions with my group between our regular live-sessions. Especially when things crop up so time between said sessions is long.

It works really well, I think, and allows the GM to work on atmospheric descriptions, well-thought-out dialoge and tactics from the NPCs. I think most of my group enjoyed the different perspective it provides, but the slow pace can be a drag (we ran 1 turn every 24 hrs).

Didzt wrote an excellent piece on this for Liber Fanatica, and I reccomend a read through before you start a game of your own.

If you need a good community you should try somethingawful.com. It costs 10 dollars for a membership but they have a pretty active play by post community. Just read the rules and youll be fine.

Yes..come check us out. I am running two former PC characters as GM-NPCs, a guardsman and a psyker. I'd be willing to part with the guardsman to let a player take him over.

Also there's an assassin NPC that I rolled up to help with the Price of Knowledge scenario. Or you could insert your own.
