Anyone interested in a play by post/forum with a high post rate requirement?

I've been trying to join a pbp game, as i havn't found anything in my area (se michigan), and either they fill up quickly or seem to take weeks just to get something started due to days going by without anyone checking in. I loose interest very quickly if a blaster fight takes a week and a half to resolve.

I've put this request out on some forums but i'm gonna put it here too...

I'd love to GM but i havn't actually played yet. So this could evolve into a gm round robin if people want it to go that way, I just got to get the rules firmly under my belt first.

Settings i'm thinking are, legends with rogue one smushed in there, what time period? I'm open to suggestions.

I'm thinking an A TEAM like group, almost like privateers, working either with the rebellion or alone as their own "cell" as they haven't made contact with the rebellion or it doesn't exist in an organized since yet (depending on time period), who does infiltration, slicing and shipjacking work. This would make a great setting in my opinion, as it allows combat, face, skillmonkeys and mechanics to all have very important roles. I'm thinking low force but i'm open.

This could fit somewhere between EoE or AoR, depending on how connected to the rebellion they are. I could even see working from a stolen capital ship, so that occasionally you can have very big space fights or very low combat sneak and get info missions. It would be fun to steal a star destroyer for "re-purposing".

I'm open to how high a rate to require, but once a day at least. I'd prefer 2 or 3 posts per day, with scheduled days off/voluntary posting days maybe on mondays and weekends. What do you all think?

I have a lot of time at work where i can do a quick post here and there. I really need a time killer as i do manual labor that tends to turn my brain into mush if i don't have something to break the monotony.

We got a lot of good posters here, and i bet even more interesting characters, come on lets do this thing!

I'm game. I'm open to playing a variety of characters, depending on what's needed.

We got a bite!

So ultimately it's up to the GM to decide how many players they want to manage but I'm thinking 4-6.

I have a character who will be good a slicing and techie stuff. If we get more interested a dedicated mechanic is find in addition

we'll need a face for sure, muscle and a good shot...

I'm actually interested too. But for me I fear the time zone difference can lead to seemingly odd pauses in the game. If you want consistency you probably should find people close to you longitudinally

What's your time zone?

Australian East Coast, Daylight Saving, aka AEDT. It's gmt+11

Hmm, we'll see what interest there is i wouldn't dismiss your participation.

I would love to play in a game like that.

I'd be interested, but I only have the AoR core book at the moment (plus some sourcebooks), so I might be missing some of the EotE rules.

For characters I'd be interested in playing, I could have fun with most Commander, Engineer or Spy specializations, or a Solider-Trailblazer depending on what is needed.

I could get at least one post in each day, more on Fridays or weekends.

If I'm in then I probably should only play andnot GM, I haven't had the best track record in the last 4-5 months for the games I run, the ideas are not flowing it would seem.

in which case I would probably want to play a face character. Neimoidian or Bothan, a Charmer (EotE) perhaps with a knack for both Deception and Charm/Negotiation. Otherwise an Ambassador(AoR) or Advisor (FaD)

So it seems like this is a good team so far!

I would suggest playing it on an off scource host http://roleplayinggames.net/

is free and has a built in dice roller app.

So it seems like this is a good team so far!

So we need a pilot and possibly muscle?

Sure probably do need to do it somewhere else...

Jalek wanna be our pilot, muscle or...?

We still need a GM

Double post

I could play as a Tactician if we need a PC that can guard the others, or a Trailblazer if we are going on stealth missions. Both of which would add some muscle.

EDIT: Looking at the original post again, the Trailblazer would probably work better with the infiltration story or a Spy career if we don't end up with one. Unless you think we need a PC that can take 2 ranks in bodyguard.

Hmm. If I play a Bothan Charmer then I'm able to put some ranks into Piloting Space and have an agility of 3. It's not a combat character but a fast talking pilot characteristics of 1,3,2,3,2,4 it sure fits the theme well.

I'd absolutely love to play! I'd love to play a face - a fringe or archaeologist would be fun - or doctor, or muscle (demolitionist or marauder?). Flexible depending on what we still need!

Ok well now we just need a gm!

Minor details ?

Ok the few who wanted to play that have multiple character ideas, put forward your first and second choices.

I think we got me -techie

And Richardbuxton - as the face

I'm happy to be Bothan Face/Pilot or Face/Copilot as my first choice.

Second choice would be a stealthy Infiltrator, perhaps Zabrak or Human. Not too Brawn focused but Cunning and working down the defensive side of the tree.

Lotr and Ben what do you wanna play?

I'd love to play a fringer 'brains' character, or else a marauder muscle.

Alternatively, if we still need a dm, I'd be happy to fill that role!
