Title: I'm Back Again, This Time, For Real, I Swear.

Hey Guys

It's been a while since I left and then came back, looks like a lot happened while I was gone.

Anyway, for those of you that are interested, I would like to start a DFRPG Play By Post game with any of you that want to join (I'm looking at you, WJM, Chiro, Perseph and anyone else that's still around)

Most of the people you mentioned kinda have one (of a sort) going in Hellfire if you want to start there, Vulcansik. But as far as the "official game" type of DFRPG, I'll leave that to them to answer.

Good to see you back!

I don't get the play by post thing.

Hi Vulcan!  How's it going?

That sounds like an interesting idea - can you explain play by post?

Yes, interested, but I've never played a P&PRPG, let alone, by post. So, I would need an explaination.

Allot of people dont have the time or the energy to do a traditional game, where you dedicate a 4-6 hour block once a week to getting together and playing. Sometimes, also, a person lacks a group of people willing to play.

In these cases PbP is a very good idea.

Play by post can be fun. I've tried GMing it before, but I couldn't handle the workload.

Ah, so PbP is in essence a literate RPG, where we type what we're doing instead of actually physically being there.

I guess that makes sense in principle, but wow... I assume it takes a long time?  And what if you can't get on for a while?  Seems you would need to be able to respond at least every few hours.

I read through some other peoples' PbP's - from what I can tell it looks like fun.  I've never done an actual RPG before, though, so I'd have to learn. 

Which I would enjoy. 

Because I love to learn. 

*dreamy eyes*

You're all ready doing it.  You're a vampiress.  With a concience.  And all the powers and weaknesses of a Red Court.  Welcome to RPGing.

I meant the kind with actual rules.  :D

The first actual rule of RPG'ing is you don't talk about RPG'ing

Seriously though, don't talk about RPGing. It's social suicide. 8)

I walk around in fingerless gloves and carry a lace parasol - I think I'm already dangling from the noose.

Are you still looking for players? I'm interested in doing PBP...but never got up the nerve to do so ^_^;;

Thought I'd bump this for you, Vulcan.  It looked like there was some interest before the thread got lost.
