Starting a new online game.

By glewis2317, in General Discussion

Hi guys,

So about six months ago, life got crazy and I was forced to pretty much give up gaming.

Things have settled down a lot and I now have time to run an online game again.

I have a couple players from my old store game. I'm looking for three to four more people that can play Wednesday nights starting at 8PM Centarl time, using Google Hangouts. It's first come first serve and I'll be posting this on the AOR and FnD forums as well.

The only thing you need to know before hand is that I insist upon a zero session. This is where we create characters together and form a cohesive group. This means that while you can play whichever type of character you like as far as profession, species etc, it's not a good idea to have your background mapped out in detail. I like to put all of that together during the zero session.

If you're interested reply here and I'll get back with you. I'll also be online most of the night, so I should be able to get back with you pretty quick.

If there's anyone who knows roll20, I'd love it if I could get you online so I could screw around with the app and get comfortable using it.

While I don't actually have time to play another game, I have a suggestion of a tool to use to tie in with your game.

I've wanted to try this out for a while now.

I kickstarted a game called Storium and it's essentially like an online multi-player story telling game. The nice thing about it is that it's kind of like using a message board, so people can post whenever they have time. The idea being that if you have a larger story to tell and wanted to do some of the role playing throughout the week, you can.

I think it could be really useful if people wanted to advance a story line throughout the week or if people could only meet once a month.

I think you can still get beta access but I'm not 100% sure.

If you decide to check it out let me know. I'm curious to see if it would work well.

Hey... nice to see you again. Glad to hear things have settled. Hope everything is turning out ok. I was enjoying you game.

Or you can use free sites like www.rpol.net, which mostly do the same thing, but without needing to pay for anything.
