[QUOTE="gambler1650, post: 5649708, member: 11033"] So, awhile back I ran a PbP on another board and generally enjoyed it. Things died due to RL issues both for myself and some players. I'm interested in starting up another PbP, but this time instead of going with a somewhat rules heavy game (as the Midnight/D3.5 game was), I want to switch to an old school rule set, namely Swords & Wizardry (which is basically the original D&D three brown books updated to the present - with a couple of add ons, like the Thief class.. there are some interpretations of the original rules that may not be exactly the same, but generally these were for rules that were too ambiguous.. and there are some changes to the original rules, for instance all weapons no longer simply do 1d6 damage :) ). The setting will be my own, but influenced by Necromancer Games' sandbox modules, the Wilderlands, and the like. I want to give the players quite a bit of freedom to decide where to go, but I also have an idea for an underlying theme or two that I think will be quite cool if the players focus in on it. If you want to see the kind of style I prefer, here's part of my old PbP: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/189751-midnight-shadow-gods-chapter-1-a.html]Midnight - Shadow of the Gods[/url] Basically, I would love to find players who are willing to write more than just "I go 20 feet down the hall and kick in the door.", and would also love players who are willing to interact with each other during periods when I may not be around (and this will happen once in awhile for 1-2 weeks or so), to keep interest in the thread going. I'm looking for 3-4 players who are willing to check in at least every 2-3 days. If there's interest with whatever players I end up with, I may set aside times for the PbP group to be online to crank through a fair bit at once, but at least initially I'd say that I'd plan for things to be low key as far as how often players will be expected to check in/post. If there's interest, let me know. And if you don't know Swords & Wizardry, a link to the free PDF for the Core Rules is at: [url]http://www.lulu.com/items/volume_70/6374000/6374501/4/print/ebookfinal9.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
