Interest in restarting old games? (Full)

[Branding Opportunity]

Cool, I'd be up for putting Morley back in play in the 'Istivin' game. Welcome back!

Thank you, Scotley. I've been enjoying rereading the IC thread of the "Reconquista" game. I think I made a few mistakes common among people inexperienced in running PbP games, such as being too much of a stickler for game mechanics. Too much of that can certainly distract from helping to tell a compelling story.

Hopefully we can get it going again.

It might take a moment to correctly get back into the character, but I always liked the Istivin game. Funnily enough an activity that is a real pain in the behind in sit down games, managing followers, became sort of an interesting dialogue dance in PbP that I thought was neat.

Combined with the pre-planning for integrating the characters? It was a lot of fun...I mean, whenever I think of successful ways to begin a higher level PbP game I think that the Recoquista is probably the best example I can think of how to do it right.

Perhaps time has been kind in memory. I remember the game fondly and without undo mistakes. I'll try to do some reading there too.

It seems that most of the interest is focused on restarting the Reconquista game and the Eberron Age of Worms game. What will probably happen is that late next week I will send out a final call to each of the original players that still logs in here, to see if they want to join up. If they don't, I'll start opening those slots up to new folks the week after that. Depending on how many of the originals are back, I'll either start where I dropped out, or take it back a bit.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Sounds good.

I suppose, that at least one of the Reconquista players, Ranger Rick (Last Seen: 10-31-05), isn't around anymore, so unless you got his e-mail or he allows e-mails to be send via the forum, it might be difficult to reach him.

Everyone else has either shown up here already or has been visiting the boards recently (Seeten), or is doing so regularily (Hypersmurf).

Excellent, I'll be awaiting your call to arms.

New beginnings

I suppose, that at least one of the Reconquista players, Ranger Rick (Last Seen: 10-31-05), isn't around anymore, so unless you got his e-mail or he allows e-mails to be send via the forum, it might be difficult to reach him.

Good point. I sent Khavren, who was going to take over the Anastasia character, an email through the forums to let him/her know that we are resurrecting the game. S/he hasn't been around in a while, so I doubt there will be a response, but it's worth a try. Ranger Rick doesn't allow emails to be sent to him, so there's no way to get in touch.

What that means is that there is an opening for someone to either take over his character "George" or create a new one to fill the gap. Just to let everyone know, he was an elven 11th level Rogue, although I would be willing to let a new player create any character that follows the "Adventurer" profile. I think it would be a good idea if the party had someone who could pick a decent lock and detect traps, as the adventure contains quite a bit of dungeon delving. As far as I remember, he was the only one in the party who did that.

HERE is a link to his original character sheet.

The game is set in CY 591 in the March of Sterich in the world of Greyhawk. It's generally based on the "Istivin: City of Shadows" mini-series of adventures published in Dungeon magazine issues 117 - 119. All characters are veterans of Sterich's war against the giants, detailed in such classics as the original AD&D G, D, and Q series of modules, and the more recent "Against the Giants: The Liberation of Geoff". If you are a fan of the original series, I think you'll like this adventure.

Anyone interested?

P.S.: Now that I've written all of this, I just realized I probably should just start a seperate Recruiting thread. Perhaps tomorrow.

Makes sense.

Request to Play a Rogue

I would be very much interested in taking over the rogue position that may be open. I did review the sheet of "George" and found it interesting but with a slightly different emphaiss on what i would like a rouge to be able to accomplish. If feasabile, I would like to draw up a 11th level roughe maybe even one that has moved to a prestiage class and submit it for your approval....i would just need basic information as to the number and gp value of magic items as well as monies for starting equipment. Thanks for your consideration.

Character creation guidelines are in the OOC thread and I'm almost certain, that the Rogue position will be up for re-recruitment. I'm somewhat sure, that the Paladin (Anastasia) will also be looking for a new player, IIRC this already happened once and last time the new player was asked to take over the character (within limits, minor changes are always ok). I don't think this would be the case with George, a completely new character should be no problem there.

But that's just my personal view on the topic. So don't take it as granted.
