Fresh GM looking to run the Only War system in a play by post fashion. While I'd love to run games in a live setting, current circumstances prohibit me from being reliable in any live sessions (baby!). This would be a learning experiences for both me and the players. It will be a alpha test of sorts to get the rhythm and mechanics of the game down for a play by post system, and if necessary, develop homebrew rules to make the game more enjoyable and run more smoothly. I know a lot of players playing live use the maptool system which I am totally unfamiliar with. But I'd like to use roll20 for this, and being a PbP game, it shouldn't be at too much of a disadvantage. I'm looking for 2-4 players planning to start in a couple weeks or so. New players are welcome as I will be new to this as well. I plan on just starting with one of the introductory adventures with pregenerated characters since this is meant to be more of a one-off adventures to test the system You don't need to have the rulebook with you as basic gameplay can be explained as we go, but having it will be that much better. I'm hoping for dedicated players who are looking to have some fun but are also willing to give comments and feedback towards developing better PbP mechanics. Naturally you wont be required to log hours at a time. I'm hoping for basic activity around once a day/every other day. My thoughts are to use the virtual tabletop for chat logging important character actions, dice rolling, character sheets, encounters, and maps drawn on the fly. Campaign discussion forum will be used for player actions and ooc inquiries. All the details aren't hammered out yet, but I'm open to suggestions. I don't know what if there's a timeout to the virtual tabletop, but I was also thinking about leaving players on a "editing page" while I'm not joined for those who need to access their character sheets, make rolls, look at a new map or handout (things that would also be made available offline). I'm looking forward to expanding in the future into longer campaigns. There's a lot to explore as an Imperial Guardsman =) Comments and questions welcome!
