[QUOTE="D20Dazza, post: 2848200, member: 4260"] G'day all, [sblock=original call-to-arms]So I've played in a few PbP games now and applaud every single DM/GM that I've played with, thank you one and all - it's a huge commitment and I respect all of you a lot. It's a commitment, I might say, that I have been intimidated by for quite some time. DMing a game in such a public environment is a challenge. The 'cyber-ether' is filled with an abundance of people prepared to join a game and then tell you exactly where you're going wrong and this puts a lot of pressure on a DM (and I'm not having a crack at so called "rules lawyers" you serve a valuable roll and I'm glad you're around, it's just some of you can be too lawyery for my tastes :o ). Those that live and die by the rules can make it hard for some of us introverts to get the gumption to have a crack. Any one that I game with will know that I'm more of a feel player than a rule player (you can read that as lazy if you like, or memory challenged :D) . Remembering and/or keeping notes has never been a strong point so that has been another discouraging trait with regard starting a game. I tend to play for fun and, in F2F play, unless it is a huge error, just let the screw up's slide - it's all a learning experience. But, there comes a time where you feel you owe something back to the community. And I guess this is it. I haven't DMed a PbP before but am keen to give it a go. I'm thinking of starting with one of those old AEG adventure boosters (you know the 4 page folded in half mini adventures??). I've played enough PbPs to realise that ambition is a killer - in my experience there will always be a player or three that drops out when you play a long adventure. So, I'm going the porn equivalent, the 2 minute shot. These are the adventures and levels (in the order I've pulled them off the shelf). Most votes wins. Sundered Earth - 4-6 PCs, levels 6-8 The Ice Caves of Azinth - 3-5 PCs, levels 2-4 Kurishan's Garden - 4-6 PCs, levels 5-6 Servants of the Blood Moon - 3-4 PCs, Levels 7-10 Dead Man's Cove - 3-5 PCs, Levels 4-6 Tomb of the Overseers - 3-5 PCs, Levels 3-5 Garadon Manor - PCs 3-5, Levels 6-8 The Last Gods - PCs 4-6, Levels 9-12 I'm looking for players willing to put up with me. I'm very flexible with regard PC options but final decisions will depend on what is appropriate to the adventure chosen (so I'll start a new thread with details on PC creation etc when the game is chosen). Looking at posting daily (except on weekends) and, if things are lagging, will take the initiative and advance things. (I'll be trying to DM this in the way that I like to be DMed when I'm playing PbPs) Anyway, that's about it, anyone keen? If I find things manageable it will develop into an ongoing campaign. Also, I love homebrew and stealing things from other settings to make things my (our) own. Sp anyone interested in creating collaborative homebrew worlds would be a welcome addition.
