Hi there!
I am forming a group for a Dune: Adventures
in the Imperium game, and I am looking for new players to join. Not only will I
be forming the main player group, I’m looking for a couple of players that will
play opposing Houses, these players do not join the main play sessions but
enact there plans via email/forums. There may be times that the main player
group encounters a rival player in session. Here's all the key information:
Game Setting
I will use the main core books 2d20 system. I
will be using both current and legacy material to build our adventures, which
involves traversing the world and dealing with both epic agendas and smaller
challenges. The setting will be more serious in nature with adventure, intrigue
and epic forces. I will be using the universe as we know it but may not be able
to rely on what you know completely as I think surprises are a good thing. This
will be an ongoing campaign with both small and large story arcs. The players
will help form the story as much as I plan for things.
Players
I am looking for 3-4 players to start off.
Characters will be made via email, chat, or a discord session. I am hoping to
gather a group of diverse people.
Game Master
Style as a GM, I lean
toward roleplaying action. You will describe what you’re doing, and then dice
are employed where needed. I try to avoid endless conversations about rules and
modifiers, but I like the chaotic nature of dice. I avoid too many die rolls
interrupting the narrative but totally support character abilities. Sometimes,
I’ll roll secretly while you will generally roll for your actions. I use maps
and tokens where appropriate, but I don't rely on them. I prefer describing
where everything is and what you can utilize in the environment.
I don’t kill players flippantly, but I don’t
overly protect them either. There should be risks to rewards. However, on
average, my players don’t die a lot, or there's a mechanic to resurrect. I run
a mature fantasy-based world where violence and decisions matter, but this
isn’t a sex or hate crime simulator.
Experience-wise, I have many years of
experience as a GM and player in many systems. I’m in my fifties and have
embraced geek culture from a young age. I’m always learning new tricks and
strive to remain a humble GM. I sometimes have a secondary GM join to help play
NPCs or if the player group splits.
Timing
I’m shooting for one adventure every two
weeks, with the of some aspects of the campaign being handled in
email/forum/chat in between sessions. I will also run solo sessions depending
on the need, though I'm careful not to favor a particular player with too many
solo sessions. I’m PST time zone-based, looking for evening sessions, the day
of the week to be determine by the group needs. This may change if the
solidified group has a far better time. It's hard to say how long a session
will run, but 4 hours is probably a good guess.
How to Apply:
To sign up for the campaign please is to
respond to the questions below. If we sync, I'll open a Discord channel to chat
and get to know each other better. Feel free to ask me any questions as well!
You can respond as a comment or DM me directly - either way, I'll add your
response to my spreadsheet. Unlike most jobs people apply for, I will respond.
I don't like rejecting anyone, but I can't accept everyone :(
