Ok, I think I've put this off long enough. I've gotten into GMing games myself after quite a varied history for roleplaying, including tabletop. Now much as I love tabletop and RPGs in general, I've hit some snags when coming to actually running the games. No, the writing is not that part; being a writer by trade helps, but a history of roleplaying gives me the skills and knowledge for that work. But for all my love of writing stories, characters, worlds, ideas, settings, and all that stuff, my ability to draw the statistics and maps needed for a game is abyssmal. I find it draining and tedious to the point of making it hard to GM properly. And in fact ended in a rather disastrous venture during my last game a month ago, due to poor design on the interaction part. So to solve that I'm looking for someone to help me out on the design portions, the maps, statistics, challenges, and other projects. Basically I need to put my ideas into a plane the players can interact with on more than a conceptual level. Unfortunately, it's not something I'm very good with. Sometimes my fairly good ideas don't go well into a space the players actually find challenging, and judging linear time has been a repeated issue. I also need some aid running combat, as despite my attempts to practice again and again, I'm struggling with any kind of expediency. As a final note I won't be started this or next week due to both personal work, and 2 major homebrew projects to balance out the game, as I tend to be a bit of perfectionist when I have to think long-term. While the project isn't daunting by any logic, the mechanical portions are so draining for me it took me a week to finish 1/5th of it myself, due to not being able to concentrate on it. And no this isn't some conceptual design task, I have a good idea for how it will work, but the math and number crunching is just boring beyond words to me. The game will use voice chat on skype(though rolld20s own system will be attempted), though it is not required to speak yourself, it just makes it all a bit easier. Of course anything I project to my Co-GM I won't hassal too much about, while I keep final control, this will be a joint project, with me helming the writing, my co-GM running stats and design, and both keeping eachother informed. I Contact me on here or by PM and I'll hand the skype name I'll be using so you can contact me for more details if your interested.
