I miss Melkor (3rd Gnome IR) :)

Ah, it's really nice to see you all here.

Indeed, it's a bit surprise to me how many are willing to moderate.
I'd personlly like to see how Serpent Eye's game would work like, though add in Kalanyr and we would have healthy dose of CG and LE aspects.

Maybe it's just me, but I've yet to see SE to pull of any good-guys role.
I am really curious, SE, could you pull that off and still manage workable tactics.
There is one other gaming aspect for you to consider too. Doesn't mean you couldn't be "up to something" as well.

TFO you set your time for be able to moderate a bit, at that time many people probably loose intrest.

SE, as what comes to your ideas about Earth, I see great potential there. Though I for one, aren't really person with that much history knowledge. Or perhaps I should say, that I learned my rpg-worlds in english, but my history books have always been my native languege, and I have little or no idea how some things are said in english.

Though, with enough background info and for example good links Mod wishes to point out for web-pages where needed info is found would help a lot.

Hehe just thought I'd drop by and invite all of you to come visit my IRC chat room whenever you want to, Lichtenhart, Janos and I can be found there fairly frequently, Festy_Dog, VenuZ and Zelda has been there a bit too as of recently, and Sollir drops by occasionally.

To access it just go to the chat dropdown menu at the top of the boards click chat (popup), accept the security warning if one comes up, and after the applet has loaded and finished connecting, just type: /join #IR .

For those of you with mIRC or Trillian, its in on the Psionics Net server which is in the list of server options for both programs and after joining again just type /join #IR.

Hope to see some of you there.

If there were multiple DM`s, I could be one.

I am still waiting for my Eberron Compaign Setting, I heard it is great, the world evocative, it might be a really nice place for next IR. But we could always make two: Earth IR and Eberron IR.

 

[Zelda Themelin]

Oh, cool Melkor.

I am still waiting my Eberron book too, or actually I could pick them as soon as I have enought money.

With Earth IR I'd probably stick to playing few npc:s myself.

With Eberron setting I could pick factions too. Fantasy is so much easier for me

 

[Gurdjieff]

Hmmm, as I dont know anything about Eberron that would be a very hard setting for me, and solo Earth might be hard to play (my world-history is lacking pretty bad =] ), but I guess anything can work.

You're never too old to learn.

I kind of like the mystical earth idea. I don't think Eberron is quite as wide-spread yet as it needs to be for an IR, but it would still be an interesting setting. I mean, world history is only important for the first round or so, after that everything is pretty much warped beyond recognition. .

 

[William Ronald]

As for a setting, it should be something that people can pick up. Eberron, the Forgotten Realms, the World of Greyhawk, the Kingdoms of Kalamar, and the Scarred Lands are all reasonably well known -- or will be soon enough. The problem with running a mythical Earth is that people will likely have very different interpreptations of it -- and what might or might not exist there.

Additionally, a "name" setting might be easier for new players to work with than a homebrew. (There has to be a certain common ground in a game, which is perhaps a little harder to establish in a play-by-post game than a face-to-face game.)

Maybe we should have a poll to see what level of interest there is for another IR and where to set it. Even if a world has been the setting of a previous IR, a new one would likely be very different because of new players, personalities, and plans.

I know I like pie.. and I know that any type of IR be it rules based or free form will be a major amount of work on the part of the referee guy thingy!

 

[Gurdjieff]

I know I like pie

Who doesnt? =p
