Re: Looking for a core group of good roleplayers
My current collab group ended recently so I¡¯m interested, if you¡¯re able to do this asynchronously (Not real time).
?
?The way we did it was via email. One person started a scene and forwarded that on to the group. Each person would hit Reply All and add in some additions wherever they felt it would fit.
?
?For example; I could ask questions to three or four different characters, and they would reply in character whenever they had time. Then I could reply individually or to the group as a whole.
?
?Everyone has email and I get push notifications whenever new mail comes in, so replies can be fairly quick. Not real time, but several times a day if needed.
?
?If this is something that interests you, email me and we can work out the details. Infinitum3d@... |
Romantic Ideals 1834 ¨C A Historical Writing RPG between ambition, struggles and darkness!
May 1834. As the Georgian era draws to a close and the Victorian age looms on the horizon, England stands at a crossroads of tradition and progress. Society is alive with grand parties, glittering ballrooms, and whispered romances, where wit and charm are as valuable as wealth and title. The elite shape the world, the ambitious fight for a place within it, and the restless dream of escape.
?
Yet beneath the elegance lies a harsher reality. Scandals threaten reputations, fortunes rise and fall, and not all rebellions are fought with swords. For some, survival depends on secrecy; for others, on breaking free from rigid expectations. Whether navigating the intrigues of high society, the struggles of the working class, or the shadows of London¡¯s underworld, every path is shaped by ambition, desire, and the ever-changing tides of history.
In this world of contrasts¡ªwhere tradition clashes with progress and love is both a luxury and a weapon¡ªwhere do you stand?

The Romantic Ideals reboot wiki can be found here:
?
Take a look and join our writing group! Now is the perfect time to create new connections and shape fresh main plots for the story. Characters from all social classes are welcome!
?
You are welcome to contact me if you have questions first.
?
This PBEM game is primarily set in London but expands beyond. Writers must be 18+, as adult content is allowed with proper labeling. Activity is required within 10 days of joining.

Frontier Entrepreneur: A Star Frontiers campaign
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýFrontier Entrepreneur ? Plot and Purpose ? This Star Frontiers campaign is set in 50 FY, and oriented towards: ?
? The party will be presented with a variety of livelihood options ranging in profitability, risk, moral considerations, and scientific problem solving.? The story¡¯s media-based ¡°lore¡± for the players is at least initially centered in the Prenglar System, and focuses on technology (particularly vehicles) more than the usual Alpha Dawn campaign.? The AD/KH mechanics have been adapted to the D20 Modern/Future ruleset, and uses the Gadget System in D20 Future Tech, which allows for a wide customization of weapons and other equipment.? The general conversion from D20 to SF metrics is such that for every +1 boost (or -1 penalty), the SF rate adds a 5% probability increase (or decrease) to the desired outcome in a resolution. ? Game Features ?
o? Know the plot, and please ask questions after reading the updates if you¡¯re unsure or unclear on anything you think may be important. o? Exploit the Star Frontiers setting:? Zeb¡¯s Guide serves as a good benchmark for the greater events that will influence the economy of the Frontier at least up to 50 FY.
o? Spelling, grammar, and punctuation:? In order to minimize my editing efforts to make this fully legible to anyone that might want to read it, please spell and grammar check your posts before sending, and spell characters¡¯ names consistently.
? Campaign Background: The Prenglar System ?
? Consequently, the city of Port Loren¡ªcapital of Gran Quivera and headquarters of the UPF¡ªis rife with corruption and civil strife during the heyday of the Frontier¡¯s founding.? The economy is still simple, surveillance infrastructure has yet to saturate the city, and there¡¯s plenty of opportunity and temptation in Port Loren drawing a steady influx of ne¡¯er-do-wells from every corner of the Frontier and in-between. ? Setting, Canon Books Used, and House Rules ? This story begins before contact with the sathar, and though it¡¯ll start off slow and smalltime, it can potentially span well beyond the Second Sathar War (80 ¨C 90 FY) when interstellar technology allows for the merging of the Frontier and Rim stellar networks. ? Starships with hyperdrives can travel at hundreds of times the speed of light (1 light year per day), so it takes a few weeks to cross the Frontier at this point.? In a departure from canon, there is no acceleration/deceleration period associated with FtL travel in this campaign.? Subspace communication has a lag of 1 hour per light year.? This and FTL speeds may change with advancements in technology. ? Frontier Technology and D20 Progress Levels (PLs) ? This portion of the rules borrows from D20 Modern/Future. ? By 50 FY, Fusion Age (PL6) vehicular technology is commonplace.? Gravity Age (PL7) tech is available to the elites in the Frontier¡¯s capital, and only scarcely available as prototypes.? Laser, needler, and gyrojet weaponry are still considered necessary personal belongings for most working-class people planetside, and even some elites.? BodyComp progits contain thousands of apps, rather than just a handful, and are integrated into powerhelmets and other personal empowerment technology. ? Planetary and Galactic Standard Time (GST) ? This setting departs from canon in that the day/night cycle on Gran Quivera lasts 24 hours, not 15 (per Zebulon¡¯s Guide, p. 49).? Galactic Standard Time is synchronized to Gran Quivera¡¯s planetary time, so GST and Prenglar local time will be synonymous.? Therefore, at tropical latitudes on Gran Quivera, it¡¯ll always be dawn around 06:00, and sunset around 18:00.? Gran Quivera¡¯s axial tilt is about 23 degrees, and its temperate bands and arctic circles are comparable in range to those of Earth. ? As the party ventures across the Frontier, local planetary times will become relevant. ? Submitting a Character ?
? Races:? Only standard Alpha Dawn race (dralasite, human, vrusk, yazirian) at the beginning of the timeline.? The sathar and Outer Rim races are unknown in the Frontier in 50 FY. ? |

Will you answer the call?
The drums are beating, join the song! ? ¡°OH-ho-ohh, THE ECHOS OF ETERNITY! OH-ho-ohh, VALHALLA CALLING ME!¡± ? A Valkyrie calls to YOU! ? In Earth's Norse mythology a Valkyrie was a symbol of fairness and honor; a bright shining example in the cold and dark of the north. She was a supernatural being that flew over land and sea searching and protecting those she cared for. A Valkyrie was charged with finding those warriors worthy to enter the halls of Valhalla. ? Are you worthy? Come, test your metal aboard the USS Valkyrie! ? 2400 rapidly approaches and a new century is dawning. So much has happened in the last 25 years. The Dominion Wars ended, The USS Voyager returned from the Delta Quadrant, the Romulan Empire opened up to the Federation. With the rebuilding of the fleet, the new technology brought back by Voyager, and the stabilization of the region a new age has dawned for the Federation. ? One of the newest ships to launch is the USS Valkyrie, a Vesta class starship equipped with state of the art technologies, including a Quantum Slipstream Drive (QSD). With a QSD at their disposal the unknown has opened up like never before. And as Picard once said, ¡°...It it the unknown that brings us out here¡±. ? Currently the crew is gathering at Utopia Planitia. ? Open Positions: ? The First Officer and Chief Engineering Officer positions have already been filled; but EVERYTHING else is wide open. If there is a position you are interested in that's NOT listed on the manifest, just contact me and we will see what can be done. ? A few areas of the site are still ¡°under construction¡±, but come check things out as the USS Valkyrie prepares for her maiden voyage. ? You can also find us on ? |
The Phoenix Needs You
Throughout history the Phoenix has been a symbol of strength, rebirth, and even immortality. Said to be capable of carrying tremendous loads, striking fear into the corrupt, granting courage to the pure in heart, and overcoming death by embracing life. Space is a cold, vast, unforgiving place and will no doubt put that to the test. |
USS Athena Needs You
The USS Athena returns to Starbase 312, her captain murdered, her crew demoralized, and the heir apparent to the center seat passed over. A reluctant new captain awaits in the wings to lead the Athena on her next mission.
The Romulan Republic celebrates its third year of freedom. It is aptly named Republic Day. In the shadow of all the speeches, music, and dancing awaits one person the crew of the Athena must find and extract, a member of the Tal Shiar faction looking to defect.
?
To do so, the Athena needs you. Positions open are:
Second officer(must hold another role as well)
Chief of Operations Chief Medical Officer Chief of Strategic Operations Chief of Security Chief Counselor ?
Come join the crew of the USS Athena during this trying new age! USS Athena is a quasi-AU Abrems¡¯verse journey through the Trek Universe. Due to potential mature content and themes, the Athena is rated 18+.
So, if you want to help shape the future of the Beta Quadrant, check us out at ? ?

P.S. Did you know that the USS Athena had a play list? ?Check it out (https://ussathena.fun/index.php/wiki/view/page/10) ?We'd love to see yours in the list!?

?
The last five turns have seen great upheaval in the Southern Continent from Dragon Hold trying to kill off the Dragon Riders to a Lord Holder's Daughter trying to turn the population back under the iron rule that still rules in the North. Changes that are now over with and the South wants to move forward - do you want to join them in changing the future?

The year is 2402, a year after the Borg Queen¡¯s attempt to enslave/destroy Humanity. Starfleet is all but devastated in the aftermath, having suffered casualties not seen since the Dominion War. Even a year later the venerable organization is still picking up the pieces, attempting to crew ships, defend the Federation's borders, and present a strong front to enemies past and present as well as and potential future foes. In this setting is Kepler, a Sagan class vessel tasked with a singular mission, to determine the intentions of a potential enemy not seen in well over a decade, one who now tests the Federation, probing for weakness, and if such weakness is found to exploit it...

Silver Hills: A Small Town RPG has Re-Opened
Silver Hills, Colorado is known for its friendly small town population and its quiet charm. Located within driving distance of Denver, the mountainous view serves as a vacation destination for tourists from all over the world. Enjoy a peaceful stay at Antlers on the Lake Bed and Breakfast, and rise in the morning ready for your personalized Colorado adventure. Get acquainted with the clear lakes, snowy mountain tops, and numerous hiking trails. After a day of exploring Mother Nature's vast playground, start your evening off at one of Silver Hill's many fine dining options. Don't forget about the night cap at any of our wineries or bars. Despite being seen as a popular holiday spot for out of town tourists, Silver Hills has managed to maintain its charm as larger, more populated areas have developed. The recent wildfires decimated the west side of the town, leaving citizens out of work and lingering questions of how to rebuild.? ~*~*~ Silver Hills is owned and moderated by experienced GMs - we've been writing RP for decades, collectively. We post to Google Groups and are open to writers who want to write via emails or via GoogleDocs with posts going to the Google Group for all community members' enjoyment. We are LBGTQIA+ friendly, love to plot, and encourage communication. While the group is open to NSFW posting, we do not allow OOC harassment, for any reason. We maintain a Discord group for OOC chat and plotting, and we encourage folx to be friendly. Silver Hills is welcoming to writers of all experiences to create original characters and explore plots with a diverse group of writers. Characters and plots must fit into the reality of the SH universe, but otherwise, writers are encouraged to chase their bliss. Moderators and GM's follow the same guidelines, rules, and restrictions as membership. ? WIKI: ? Game Board: ? |

Science City!
You just wouldn't want to. It's Science City, it¡¯s 2034, weird is the new normal and the populace wouldn¡¯t want it any other way. Science City is rated 2-2-2, or PG-13 if you don¡¯t know what the three numbers mean. The game is played via mailing list but a link to our Discord server where the OOC chat goes down as well as where the game's background info is stored can be found below. Science City takes place in what I've come to call the Vindicators Universe, which consists of a series of PBEMs I have run over the decades that have taken place in the same world. That does not mean you have to have played in those adventures as there is a wealth of background information to be found on the Discord server. The game is heavily inspired by various comic book sources as well as anime. Among the comic book inspirations are John Ostrander's Grimjack, Fantastic Four: The End, Top Ten and Tom Strong. As for anime Giant Robo is certainly an influence as is A Certain Scientific Railgun, and while it is not purely anime Big Hero Six look and tone are inspirations. New players are always welcome and the game has a mix of new and old adventurers, players I've only just recently come to know as well as long time friends. The game is active and everyone seems to be having a good time. So stop by and give it a look, have a talk with the players, see if you might want to give it a try. . |
Wrestling! .....with all manner of issues.
Do you enjoy Role Play? Do you enjoy wrestling? Here's a great opportunity for some seriously addictive fun. E-Fed wrestling! This is not done on Groups.io, but via signing up. You create a character. You send in your promos. You win matches (sometimes) and eventually GOLD! (rarely) I've oversimplified it, - a lot.? You can approach this in a great many ways, rather than the more tradition route: humorous/dark/occult/story telling - whatever appeals.? It's a long standing, active community based in America. You'll be given all help and guidance you want in terms of character creation and RP work - which can be as short or grand as you wish. There are 2 Federations: RAGE and TCW. Please contact jcphitman@... for any questions etc. I look forward to working against - I meant WITH - you. :) |
