Player Application
So who wants to play a game? Just at the moment we've got a total of three games going, though only two have actually gotten very far, and another game in the works. Join us.
Now that we've started, we'll keep this as a place to vote for future games and brainstorm game ideas.
So what might people want to play in the future? Ideas so far are as follows:
1) oWoD, Mage is in the works, but Vampire is always a possibility .
2) Generic modern occult investigation, growing in whatever directions it may, regardless of the repercussions to sanity.
3) Shadowrun.
4) Ars Magica. The 4th edition is available for free online.
5) The Farm. Horrifying, but it seems like it would be amazing.
6) The Lost Room. It'll blow your mind.
7) The Road not Taken, or possibly the $200 hyper-drive from Anywhere but Here. Really sweet sci-fi.

Hrm... I think I'm game for this as well.
I like the underpinnings of option 3 (very cthulhu of you) but the Hogwarts inspires me (can we say make your own magic, life+fire= "ooooh, ahhh")
I know this hasn't been suggested, but what about a shadow-run/cyberpunk-inspired system. For example, a gritty-urban-setting, where mega-corporations own you from birth to death providing housing, labor, and food to those that they consider "employees." Some citizens turn their backs on 'big brother' and become shadow runners, those that stick to the darkness in the world, running ops against the upper-class... a robin-hood-meets-brave-new-world style of life, if you will.
But, hey, I adapt... any system that I can get my hands on a source book is good for me. (preferable a free one, thanks to eDonkey)
I could do a shadowrun type thing, although I think I'd have to come up with some new terminology, and I'd ditch a bit of the background. I never really liked the metahumans.
As to system, forget about it. Unless people are really loath to bend to my will, I'd like to try a (relativly) rules-lite homebrew. I'll write it out and post it, and we can have a vote (once we have more than two players).
How could I have forgotten?
Ars Magica. I'm pretty sure you can still get a free pdf of the 4th edition of the main book for free somewhere. I've got it sitting on my harddrive, and the setting always seemed very interesting.
4th, pppphhh! try 5th!
5th isn't free. Free is a big plus, although I do understand that they fixed all kinds of stuff for the new edition.
So right now we've got 3 players, and one vote. Josh, was your suggestion to be interpreted as a vote, or just brainstorming?
I'm cool with mostly everyhing, but I'm favoring Hogwarts or the Shadowrun game.
Wow... I wasn't expecting something like this. Are you hoping that more players will find our burdeoning site?
What are you doing!!! Saying my game hasn't gotten very far!
I blend creativity with complete and utter submersion. Who says your actions right now aren't impacting my game???
p.s. I'm so sorry... I've been busy, and I've failed you all. Maybe... just maybe, I'll begin posting again!
Well, I've been looking forward to a Mage game, but any sort of game would be fun. Personally, I'd vote against a planescape setting, not because I dislike it, just to keep some variety in the site. So far we have three, drastically different themes: inter-dimensional, magic based game, a sci-fi game, and a cloak and dagger RPG. I’d personally like to keep the theme running of playing very, very different games.
Oh, and if we get more players, I hope they're not die-hard Ravenloft fans, because they might recognise my plot. Yeah, it's not entirely original, but don't worry, most of it is my own invention.
Would more players be a bad thing?
And don't worry about any criticism from me; it's my game that's gotten nowhere, rather than not very far. You're ahead there.
And you're right Jeremy, I should edit that list.
Well, in my humble, not GM-ing opinion, more players would seem like a good thing, so long as it's not in excess.
I really don't have much in the way of suggestions for games, but I like the idea of keeping the games drastically different. It's probably best that I really don't have any new suggestions though, since I might have to run said game, and Jeremy will vouh for my complete inability to do so.
