Jack A T GMs a Free RPG of Your Choice!
« on: August 29, 2010, 10:11:44 pm »
Well.  Time for me to do something stupid: for my first time GMing, I'll let you choose a free game, meaning I'll end up having to get used to an unfamiliar system quickly.  In addition, I'll spend time getting used to Gametable for a while, to make everything easier and harder.

Planned time: Starting Saturdays somewhere from 12-2 PM PST (7-9 PM GMT).  Times likely to change.  Will be required to end before 6 PM PST.

Try to keep to somewhat simple game suggestions, please.  Post character sheets AFTER the game is selected, please.

I'm personally interested in Warrior, Rogue, and Mage and Thrilling Noir Stories, both by Stargazer Games, but I want your suggestions.

So is this a "Let's play", "Forum game", or "PnP RPG" that you're suggesting?

We're Bay12er's. If there is a bug, we will find it, exploit it, and make a recursive statue out of it. Just look up Planepacked.

When a dwarf enters a martial trance, they become Jedi. Short, drunken Jedi.

We don't need another one, geez.

We could have...
I don't remember if Call Of Cthulhu, Rouge Trader, or whatever were free, but check 'em out. Paranoia, I think but maybe not.

No, no, and no.  None of those are free.

Hmm...actually, I could probably run this in a much more casual, completely forum-based way, at the same time as something bigger.  Plus, it just looks awesome, so...

You really can both sig it.
But... That would break the laws of sigging! We can't have everyone running around with the same quotes. IT MAKES THEM UNFUNNY FASTER!

Risus is free, fun and quite silly, Fate is free, fun and quite serious.

There are three things you must learn if you wish to defeat me, my young pupil. First, you must look within yourself and find your core of strength. Second, your mind and body must be in perfect unison. Third...

Third, stop listening when you should be fighting.

Keep on suggesting, I haven't decided on much yet.  Thinking about Risus, though...
