Greetings all,

I am going to start a play by post DH game (3-5 players) in the very near future. I am planning on running through all of the published adventure material, to include : Edge of Darkness, Purge the Unclean, and Tattered Fates. I do this not for a lack of imagination on my part, but because I just think the published material is great and want to take it out of the box and play. The style of play will be high narrative, with each player contributing to an unfolding story in as detailed a prose-style as they deem fit. The interpretation of the rules will be largely strict and merciless, rewarding a cunning, cautious, and thoughful style of play. Fate points will very helpful indeed, and long term character survival prospects are both grim and dark. The only house rule I'm considerinig right now is 'Social initiative,' which functions like combat initiative for social interaction, using Fel and Int as modifying characteristics. This creates an 'order of play' for social interaction, and prevents everyone from trying to speak at once. It also further rewards socially inclined characters and NPC'S with a great deal of control over the direction and tenor of conversations. Characters will be randomly generated, with only small tweaks applied at the end of the process, as I believe this creates more interesting characters and a more sportsman-like play.

I am currently returned from a combat deployment and have a few months of precious unemployment, so I will be available to post well and often, I am looking for players who are inclined to so the same. Sufficed to say, in-game combat will be realistic and informed by professional experience. Most play will be 'By Post', but I may haul the group over to OpenRPG or something on special occasions.

I post here for the dual purpose of recruiting in the Emperor's Holy Name, and for asking all you fine citizens if you have any recomendation as to a particular Play by Post service that has preformed well in your experience.

I apologize if this is not the appropriate place for this post.

For a site which can be used for running a forum game I'd recommend www.rpol.net seems to have a pretty large number of games, and seems to be laid out well for playing games on it.

I'd be interested in playing, but I've read all the official adventures up to tattered fates, and am considering getting that as well.

Indeed, I suppose very nearly everyone will have already read the published adventures. I may have to rethink that approach, although it would be a shame for all that material to go to waste. Thank you for the response, in any event. I'll give you a heads-up if I decide to go with an all original campaign track.

I'll second the www.rpol.net suggestion. If you want a great place to advertise, chat, ask questions, and all that fun stuff seach for-

Thank you for the Advice. I'm afraid I've settled on a site called storycrafter.com, however. I found it to be a bit more user-friendly than RPOL, although it bears mentioning that I am largely computer illiterate. Anyone who's interested in taking a peek at the early stages of the game can have a look. We are only now rolling up characters, which will be followed by a few short, solo, one-off stories to round out the PC's and to buff them up with a little more starting experience. After that, we'll probably delve into bits and pieces of the Tattered Fates adventure-line, along with other assorted published materials. The whole thing should play out at a fairly leisurely pace.

To any who might be interested by this sort of thing, feel free to stop by, as I am still looking for players. The name of the Campaign is 'Calixis Confidential.'

Hey Nillius I am interrested in joining your game. Unlike some others I have not read the adventures as I thought it be better to wait until I knew if I be player or GM. I have signed up at the site and I am tryign to send you a message requesting joining the game. I will be abel to post during Europe evening and weekends and sometimes early in the morning. I have not tried play by post before but I would like to try it out. I hope you will find spave in your game for me.

Well I got so far to my screenname is Ilysia and I belvie I aplpied to the game withthe character Felix

I am well up for it, I am currently running a play by post over at [email protected] here: www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/viewforum.php I would be really interested in playing through the campaigns (I've not read them yet either sweet). I'll look over your forum and try and sign up later.

Cheers, Hal

Hey Gents,

Cool. I think I've gotten your messages on my PBP page. I'll be in touch via storycrafter messaging.
