Recruiting for online group

By Serif Marak, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Greetings, basement dwellers!

Being the nerd that I am, the people who know me bought me Star Wars stuff for Christmas.

That said, I have cross-sections of pretty much every Star Wars vehicle and the full Atlas of the universe.

That said, I have a lot of information on potential ships that can be run into or used as well as a much better idea of what they looks like, how they work, and how much they might cost based on comparative pricing in the EotE book.

All I have is the basic book, though I may be looking at AoR and the tie-in books for EotE very soon.

Here's the dealy-o.

I like sandbox games. I don't want to tell you how the story is going to go. I want you to tell me where your characters want to be. I want the story that we tell to be completely cooperative, not the end result of a weeks worth of planning on my part alone.

So, here's how I run things....

The first few games will likely be an organized adventure (probably Long Arm of the Hutt) just to get everyone going and establish the hierarchy. After that, the universe becomes dynamic. You can go anywhere, do anything, be anybody. (non-cannon, of course)

Expect me to throw in roadblocks and remind you of the games history fairly often, though. This world will live and breath.

I will likely end up running the game in Google Hangouts, with Character Sheets and a Group Tracker being run in GoogleDrive.

The adventure itself will be typed (easier to refer to exact things later) and we can use voice chat for OOC.

Probably looking at a weekly game (weekends tend to work better for everyone, so probably Saturdays unless things change) and more sessions as the group is able to allow.

I don't want a large number of people. Too many schedules.

Probably 4 players max. Species Menagerie on a case by case basis, EotE Careers only unless you can provide the resources that I need to run the game effectively.

DO NOT MESSAGE ME OR REPLY if you are unable/unwilling/incapable of playing in a sandbox RP. I will not be leading the group around. I can create encounters and small adventures, but I will not be putting in a weeks worth of effort for a one-off adventure. If the group is enjoying a tangent, I will make it more in-depth. If not, then I will create an out. I'm flexible like that and I like staying that way.

Any chance that you'd consider running it as a PBP? I can afford 10 minutes a night to update my character's progress but I'm not sure I can handle scheduling long rp sessions seeing (as I am a teacher and I will randomly not have weekends to myself for marking,etc). PBP by its very nature makes sandbox campaigns easier to deal with as a GM but I'm not sure if other players prefer sessions together. Thanks!

I am definitely interested (depending on time frame) since I have only gotten to GM EotE and not play any of it. What times / days are you looking at for running?

PBP leaves too large of a gap for people to get missed or lost or left out entirely. Take it from someone who has spent the last 8 years RPing on one forum or another. If you are using a Forum as your medium, 2 people tops. And since you need 3 (including GM) to have an at least semi-decent game....

My schedule is fairly variable at the moment.

I live in Mountain Time so GMT-7. Saturdays tend to work better for everyone. Or, at least, most everyone.

And I would prefer the game to start earlier instead of later. That way the game can go longer instead of being automatically limited to only a couple of hours.

Specific time will end up being discusses with the group to figure out what works, but for now I will say 12:00 my time. That will change as needed.

Sign me up. I have been trying to get a game going since June and have yet to get the group together more than two times. Also I would love to play to get some experience before heading to the con in Texas. I am Eastern Standard Time and Saturday mornings are definitely good for me.

Will you be bringing Agent K with you?

Probably looking at around 2 PM your time on Saturdays unless we need to change the schedule.

Send me an e-mail so we can all get linked up.

I may be interested in this adventure. I'll need to look at my time resources prior to committing.

Looking to do a Creation session this weekend. Would like to have everyone that will be playing present at the time.

E-mail me @ [email protected] to get linked in.

Also, we might be changing the game time to 12 PM Eastern.

I'd be willing to join, but I don't have a mike. Could be fixed by me playing a non-basic-speaking race (Ithorian, most likely), but that's to be discussed. Just making sure I wouldn't need to speak, and could just use typing if I needed. I'm pretty fast on that.

In character is typing. The voice chat was intended to be used for OOC. I can't record voice for easy reference later on.... lol

And yeah, jump in. You would make three, and your pugilist droid boxer would be a wonderful addition. rofl

I'd be interested in joining as I haven't been able to find a group to play any of these new Star Wars games with. That means that I have no experience in this system yet, altough I have read through the book, so if that is an issue I completely understand.

How in the WORLD did you know about C1-4CKR (Clacker)?!?

And thanks!

Your thread, bro. lol

I was one of the first replies.

Remember 'Sampson'?

Send me an e-mail. Still trying to get connected with everyone that wants to be involved.

No, that's okay.

You would be the third, so I'll want to wait for one more before we get started.

I've sent an email already (it verifies to this account), and I'm geussing well not be doing the game today, unless you plan to do it later.

Oh yeah. I'd forgot I'd posted him...

Unless we get a fourth sometime today while everyone is still up for a game, no. Our first get together will be a Creation session anyways. Hopefully that will only take one.... Haha

We need one more person to start.

We will be doing our character creation session tomorrow, if everyone is available.

e-mail me if you want to join so that we can all get linked up, and please keep in mind the information I put down in the first post. If you doubt you can handle this type of play, please do not waste either of our time.

nvm

Looking for a couple more for the group. If possible, I want to get the creation session done this week, before Saturday.

Okay, back to needing just one more person. Send me an e-mail and I can get everyone set up for a short group session before the weekend so we can have our first actual game on Saturday.
