General Discussion: Post Here New People!

Thanks Eric. It's about an hour early for me if that's okay. Not sure if I'll make tonight or not. If not, it'll be two weeks before I can make a Saturday game.

Hello all! I'm interested in joining a Mouse Guard or Torchbearer game. I've read the Mouse Guard rulebook and watched Adam Koebel GM both on Youtube, but never played. I'm available this Saturday if there's still slots open.

You're in so long as you make your character before we start on Saturday. If you need help making said character let me know and I will be on Roll20 half an hour before we start. I've made you a character sheet named Jacob's Character in the Saturday Group.

Eric can you make one for me? I won't be able to join this week but would like to get started on a character. 

done, it's called Kevin the Barbarian in the "In Parts Unknown" folder.

Is this game using the map currently on the screen? What would my character know about the map, as a dwarf from a dwarven hall?

Thank you, I'll try to learn my way around the app and be there Saturday. Do I need to own the PDF or hard copy rulebook or is there another resource I can use? Also, unrelated question, if there is a game going is there some way I can join to follow the game but not participate? 

Kevin  I am unaware of any lore in Junction but Simon might have some. Otherwise I'm going to write some out for fun. Jacob 1. You need the book to make characters or someone to go through it with you who has a book but the game is very intuitive rule wise. 2. I don't see why you couldn't mute yourself and watch.

Let me know what you think of my first "lore" write up and what you want me to make up next (not sure how useful it is but it adds flair to Junction).

idk about lore but there's information on all the core map locations in the game journal. I also have a rumors page that's basically information about adventures that we can choose from.

Thogan Steelbeard is born! No specialty or goal chosen, yet, obviously. If you can, Eric, check over it. This is my first Torchbearer character and I only have the PDF and some Youtube videos to go by.

- Having two filled small sacks in 1 hand can be done but requires a Laborer skill test to do, FYI. You can normally carry 1 filled or 2 empty without a test. - What specialty would you like? - Instinct needs work, we'll go over it. - It's up to Eric on the story-related backstory. Rest looks good.

I'll reduce his sacks. That seemed slightly confusing. Specialty of scavenger or dungeoneer.

Is there still room left in the Saturday game?

If you have a character ready, yes we have 1 more slot open.

Eric P. said: If you have a character ready, yes we have 1 more slot open. I've got an Elf Ranger written down on paper.  Don't have a character sheet within the game yet.

Hello! I've played a one-shot of Torchbearer before and would like to play more of the system. Are there any GMT-friendly games going on?

Hi, Ken! Currently we're only playing Fridays/Saturdays at 8pm EST... I think we had some international players set up a game to play outside the group but I don't recall who was involved. Feel free to keep an eye out or try recruiting a group together for a time that works well for you, though.

Hi everyone, I have only GM'ed a couple of Torchbearer games. I would like to GM the intro 'Under the House of the Three Squires' then move onto other BWHG adventures, Caverns of Thracia and eventually make up my own when I have the experience. I live in the UK and my best available time would be Sundays at GMT+1 20:00. Thanks.

Hey Dan, sign me up! I've watched a bit of the Three Squires in the Roll20 vids, but I'll keep OOC knowledge seperate. 

Sorry for messing anyone around, but I think I would rather play outside the group as I already have everything set up. Thanks

Hey Dan do you think you could make a new thread for recruitment to that game? I think it would improve visibility a little. I can pin it, too.

Hey TED, That would be great thanks!

New guy here, thanks for sending me the option. Been wanting to play Mouse Guard since the book first came out, but never had the chance due to various reasons, but now is the time

Rev said: New guy here, thanks for sending me the option. Been wanting to play Mouse Guard since the book first came out, but never had the chance due to various reasons, but now is the time I own the boxed set but have never gotten around to playing it. I would also be interested in this.

Jamie G. said: I own the boxed set but have never gotten around to playing it. I would also be interested in this. I can welcome you aboard, then. I've wrangled three others out of my own skype list who are game, and you'd be #4, making for a full patrol. It'd be pretty great to have a BW-wise and MG-wise person along, too!

Hello, all! I have never played, but own, both Mouse Guard box set and the Burning Wheel Gold and Codex books. I'd love to find a game for newbies, but I do have D&D (3.5e, 5e) and Call of Cthulhu experience. Thanks in advance!

Happy New Year Folks.

+1

Happy New Year!!!

Time to start working on resolutions, namely torchbearer. Any room for a newbie? Prefer CST evenings which aren't Wednesday or Satur

Currently the core group is on hiatus from Torchbearer to play Apocalypse World on Fridays and Saturdays, but we'll come back to it... eventually.

Not intending to poach here but if you want to play TB now Bill we have a game on Mondays 8:30 pm EST. we are currently looking for players and GMs. PM me if you are interested. 

Quite the opposite, Nate. It's exactly what this group is for!

Hi everyone. I apologize for my long hiatus, im not sure how many of you remember me but i used to be apart of the group that played on thursdays. When i quit playing i got hit in the head pretty hard and basically things went down from there, i got super busy and then i left for bootcamp. I am now apart of the united states marine corps and have been in training since july. So, with all that being said i really hope your all doing well and I am hoping to join back up in a game soon if thats possible. I wish to thank you guys so much for keeping me in the group, even though ive been gone for so long. But, i am back and ready to play if its possible

Hello all! :) Thanks for the invite. Happy to be here! Mainly looking to play Mouse Guard but wouldn't mind trying out any other games as well. Like I said in the other thread, I've played all sorts of video games, but never any tabletop type games. So let me know if you don't mind a newbie in your group. As a collaborative writer (roleplaying) I can bring storytelling and collaboration to the table . :D By the way, does the guild have a Discord or something? Feel free to add me on there - Vivihanna#8497 :3

Hi, I'm new to the group.  I have experience with Burning Wheel as a player in 2 campaigns.  I would love to join another BW game but I am just as excited about finding a Torchbearer game.  Are there any games out there looking for players?

Hey folks, want me to run something at 7:00pm EST Sunday?

yes!  I would be down for a game at that time. 

Hey everyone, I'm another new one. I found my way here looking for a Mouse Guard group, but would be happy to get into something else. I have zero experience with Burning Wheel, but a lot of experience flexing my imagimuscles.

I will make another forum post for the Sunday game.

Hey everyone! I'm a new guy. I would love to play Mouse Guard, Torchbearer, or Burning Wheel. Are there any more spots open in the Sunday Torchbearer game? Otherwise, is anyone running a BW or MG game? Thanks!

Hi there! I'm new too! 100% new to tabletops, looking to get into mouse guard. I've read through the book and hoping to join a game soon Many thanks!

Hey everyone, I've been playing BW for a while and would be interested in getting into a game of Torchbearer. The link provided in the scheduling forum is long since expired, though, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Thanks.

There is a Mouse Guard Game this Sunday at 10:00 PM (GMT +3) You can find it from Join a Game/search "mouse guard"

If Sunday 7pm EST works for you try asking Eric about joining that one.&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4750531/sunday-evening-torchbearer" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4750531/sunday-evening-torchbearer</a>

Hey everyone, I'm new and interested in getting involved in some mouse guard or BW. I'm hoping to join a campaign soon if there are stil available slots for Sunday nights

Hi Craig! Here is a link for a one-shot mouse guard: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/1346559/7CMCgQ" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/1346559/7CMCgQ</a>
