CLOSED THREAD: 2018 One-Shots, Mini-Campaigns and Longer Campaigns Schedule (Self-Serve, Take the Next Number)

Hello Everyone, This is the 2018 game listing.  This game listing is now Self-Serve. GMs: Create a separate recruitment thread on the forum. Take the next available number and post a link to that thread here. Use the following format for this thread: #. Game Name (link): GM; brief description; one-shot/mini-campaign, full game; # of sessions; schedule / rough month it will run; # of players; video/voice/chat, clients used; any notes Players, respond to the GMs, either through their actual game listing thread or PMing them. I’ll continue janitorial duties to keep this thread clean and delete any non-GM postings. /Matt  

1. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay - Powered by Fate The setting is Warhammer (fantasy). Rules are so called Powered by Fate, meaning that the core is from Fate (Core) but specifics are customized to fit the setting better. The idea is that we, mainly the players, come up with the starting point in the first session, and then the campaign goes where it naturally goes. There is no predetermined length or ending for the campaign. The point is to keep the campaign alive until it no longer feels fun enough to continue. Game played weekly on weekdays roughly 18 - 21 GMT+2. The campaign will start (if possible) during January 2018. 3 - 5 players needed. For VoIP I use my channel / server in Discord.

2.  World on Fire - Supernatural Lovecraftian Horror Long Campaign The world was plunged into utter chaos and mayhem on April 16th 2012. The existence of Vampires, Demons, Werewolves, Zombies, and Mages were exposed. Turns out they were all living with us for centuries since the dawn of time. There are more nightmarish things then just them that we manage to find now. However for what we know, the California Government now has a Vampire Governor name Gretchen Lane, Werewolves protect the State of Michigan, Zombies now police the streets of Washington DC and now Demons have raving night parties all throughout Florida. The world as we know it came to an end as times have changed beyond our understanding. Welcome to the World on Fire...And to the mind of HP Lovecraft. Game played Weekly Sundays at 9:00 pm EASTERN TIMEZONE (GMT-5). 1-3 Players needed.  We use a server on Discord so let me know if you want to join and we will start tomorrow and I will walk everyone through character creation as well. We do follow the default character creation for FATE Core. 

3.  Tales from Gaia : GM: Me (Ben). I have only just begun playing and GMing Fate, but have about 6-7 years of experience playing and running various systems. I believe that Fate is the right system for my GM style, although the potential for what can be done within Fate, means I still have room to grow as a GM for this system. Description: Tales from Gaia is a homebrew world of my creation that I have adapted for the Fate Core rules. It is a diverse fantasy world where magic and fantastic creatures are prevalent while still remaining rare and special. It has many human cultures, fantastic races, and locations, but has plenty of room for player input for worldbuilding. Stories in Gaia can be epic or personal, lighthearted or dark, political or sword and sorcery, depending on player taste. I think it will be familiar enough for players who love fantasy, but with enough of my personal twist to not feel utterly generic. Length/Sessions: I am not sure if the races or the rules for magic are balanced and so I still consider it to be "in playtest." To begin, I would like to play one-shots with different characters to test out what I have created and to get a feel for the game. (And for me to get a feel for GMing Fate). Each one-shot's length will be dependent and variable although I am guessing 2-4 four hour sessions a piece. Hoping to eventually transition into running a longer campaign, once I feel more comfortable with the setting. Schedule/Players: Right now, I have two players with a third that might return at a later date. We are scheduled to play the first and third Sundays of every month from 9AM to 1PM EST (GMT -5). I am looking for 1-2 players for that group. I am also potentially interested in running a second group on Thursdays of the alternating weeks (second and fourth) of each month. The time on Thursdays could be a little more variable (9AM-1PM is preferable, but 10-2 or 11-3 are also options). I am looking to have 4-5 players in that group. My ideal group size is 3 or 4 players, but I know that with Roll20, it is common for players to drop out before playing for varying reasons. Clients: Roll20 for the tabletop, of course. I am planning on doing voice only, though if there was a complete consensus within the group, I would do video as well. I have a Discord server, although I prefer to use Skype as I have found it more reliable for certain long-distance players. Back to the drawing board.

4.  Dresden Files Accelerated GM: Me (Evan) I've been GMing on and off since I started playing tabletop rpgs back in 2012. I've run or played well over a dozen different systems but FATE is my favorite. I'm still relatively new to Roll20 and this will be my first attempt GMing with it. Description: Dresden Files Accelerated (DFA) is as the name implies, a FATE Accelerated variant set in the Dresdenverse. As of right now there isn't a set story, I've got a list of 30 something plot threads and will be tailoring the campaign to meet expectations set forth in a Session 0. Schedule/Players: As of this posting, I've got 1 player and am looking to have a party of 4 players, maybe more if demand is high. Sessions will be held either Tuesday or Thursdays starting at 7:00 EST and running for 3-4 hours a session. Expectation is for the campaign to run 4-8 sessions long (excluding Session 0 + Character Creation). Clients: We will be using Discord for Voice and Text chat with Roll20 for pretty much everything else.

5.  Exploring FATE Worlds I (Jaye) am the primary GM but we have a few others who sometimes run games. You can find them listed in Discord. Exploring FATE Worlds is a series of reoccuring one-shots (or sometimes two/three-shots), designed so people can play without having to commit to a schedule. Our schedule is flexible days and flexible times, but I run on AEST/AEDT. We primarily use our  Discord server to organise games as well as using Discord for voice functions for games. The tabletop part of games is run on Roll20 itself. New and experienced players alike are welcome to join. I enjoy helping players learn the ropes and we're a pretty welcoming bunch :3

6.  The Dresden Files Hi im Rocky, I have just a few FATE sessions as a GM and have been DMing D&D games since Dark Sun was a new thing. I have run a couple of long adventures on Roll20 and have learned a lot about keeping it simple.  The FATE system works much better for me as a GM since I can make more calls on the go instead of looking up rules in a book, Aspects are awesome and even when going back and forth from D&D and fate I will still use them in my games.  For the game, Its set in London a city controlled by the faerie due to a very thin veil between our world and theirs, some say that the city exists in all three relms.The worlds setting is slightly darker, more crime riddled and includes other modern fantasy elements (aka Supernatural and a few others).Magic has become much more prolific with supernatural beings exploding in numbers, Something is out of balance and Magic and the underworld is on the brink of being exposed! Schedule/Players  - Typically play ever other week on Monday nights around 7:30 est. I try to stick to Roll20 unless its necessary to use Discord. We have had a lot of interest into the game and I think we are full (Thanks everyone)but if it sounds interesting, you like to joke and make friends hit me up.  Experience is not necessary, just have the time to be prepared and willing to have fun and roleplay! 

7.  Three Rocketeers GM; Me Description: Musketeers in space Mini-campaign  # of sessions;  tbd Weekly, Thursdays, 7:30 EST # of players; 3 Skype any notes:  See the wiki for more info . 

8.  Learning to Play Fate/Learning to GM Fate  GM: MattBx8 Description: Learning to Play Fate, duh. One-Shot # of sessions: 1 Monday, February 26, 6:30PM PST (GMT-8) or alternatively Wednesday, February 28 To be rescheduled # of players: 3-6 Discord

9.  Grand Illusion GM: Me, at first, hoping to move into a shared game. Description: I have no idea. I want to create a game from the ground up. I suggest Spark in FATE Core as a tool.  Continuing Game. Individual stories to run 3-4 sessions. Date: Monday, April 9th, with the goal of playing every other Monday. Time: 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm, EST (GMT -5, or so I'm told.) Number of Players: 3-6 Discord for Voice, Roll 20 for everything else. Come build a world with me. Together, let us see what wonders we can work.

10.  The Fargo Salvage Company GM: Rocky C. Description: This story starts in the muck of an overly populated spaceport, where trying to get a boarding pass could take years wading through countless generations of regulations. Our heroes are stuck, in need of work, and getting a second chance is a once in a lifetime opportunity, maybe twice but who's counting.  Date: Monday, April 2 7:30pm-11:00pm EST Number of player 4-5 Discord

11:  Monster of the Week Club GM: Grods  Description: You play as college students or interested townspeople in the fictional town of West Bend in the central US.  Together, through a club at the community college, you produce a low budget camcorder YouTube channel where you go on "ghost adventures," spending the night in local abandoned houses or camping out in the woods looking for werewolves.  What you don't know is that the fakey rubber monsters and the random electromagnetic interference you catch on video are actually very real, very dangerous supernatural forces.  It's only a matter of time before you figure out the hard way that what you don't know can  hurt you. Playing Fate Core Continuing game, optional attendance.  If you can't make it I'll find a reason for your character to not be there. Date:  Saturday April 31st, looking to play every other saturday Time: totally negotiable.  I'm in pacific time and tend to sleep in. 3-5 players Discord, I'm open to using roll20 for rolls but I won't be doing maps unless absolutely necessary. I'm looking to make this a very lighthearted game!  PM me with your high concept and your trouble aspect so we can talk about them and make sure they're tone appropriate.

12. Cataclysm GM: Rodrigo Machado (I am Brazilian) Description: The players would play in a Medieval Fantasy setting of high magic. If you ever played D&D, watched Lord of The Rings, you can get a got idea of the level of magic. The reason why this is not played in D&D 5ed, is because I believe that is possible to explore much, much more of the game with FATE. More character developments, more story develompments and I am itching to re-use the system. I am of the philosophy, that if you are pro-active, if you want to learn, if you are respectful, then you have a space in my game. System: FATE Core Genre: Medieval Fantasy Duration: Long Campaign (Weekly) Premise: A mysterious creature attacks all but wiped civilization generations ago, the world claws its way back to normalcy from beneath ash, ruins, famine, zealots and warlords, all the while the dark forces that first set the cataclysm in motion stir. In this time, the world of Thondheim is in darkness...but only from darkness, can light be born. Can that light  appear? Date: Mondays 9:00 PM GMT-3. Players: 4-5 Communication: Discord

13. Shadows Of Chicago GM: Rodrigo Machado (I am Brazilian) Description: The players would play in a Cyberpunk setting. If you ever watched Blade Runner, you can get a got idea of the level of technology. System: FATE Accelerated Genre: Cyberpunk Duration: One-Shot, with the possibility of becoming Bi-Weekly. Premise: Is the year 2077. The organizations on the world have taken over and the technological advances have been enormous. Russell Mint, leader of Dimension-Corp, one of the largest organizations in the United States, is looking for a way to get ahead of his competition and he seems to had found a one on "Project-Rebirth". In his hands it could be catastrophic, so someone enter in contact with "TECK", a group of four unique individuals, who for the right price, will risk their neck to the job that no one wants to do. Date: Wednesday 09 May 9:00 PM GMT-3. Players: 4 Communication: Discord Disclaimer: I must make clear, that since this is a One-Shot, the characters will be already made, so things can speed up faster in the game.

14. FATE Core 101  - Sandbox Campaign This world isn't created yet. The Setting is set yet. This is a way to help the players to learn about fate core and become more comfortable with playing FATE Core. Many different possibilities.  Game played Bi-Weekly TO BE DISCUSSED at 9:30 pm EASTERN TIMEZONE (GMT-5). 1-3 Players needed. We use a server on Discord.

15. Mighty Dynarangers - Action & Adventure/Mecha vs Kaiju/Power Ranger Fan-Based RPG The Evil Queen Jupiter and her Generals are dominating the galaxy for light years.

The queen attack Praxolia and won in the warfare but a single soldier with the knack of not quitting and disobeying orders jumps in a ship and runs 12,000 light years to earth in hopes to find warriors to help defeat the queen and end her evil reign once and for all. The story begins with the soldier to finding five teenagers that is worthy of the power he can bestow on them.  Game Played weekly Sunday 9:30 pm Easter Time Zone (GMT-5) 5 players needed* We use discord and roll20 together for communication.  *Of course that is subject to change as we need five players today and might need more in the future.*

16.  The Fate of Middle-earth   System  - Fate Core. No homebrew rules unless deemed necessary by the group.  Medium  - Discord asynchronous Play-by-Post  Length  - Single Adventure with opportunity for mini-campaign.  Players  - Have three on board already. Beginners welcome and encouraged (I find the pbp format great for newbies if they need to stop and ask questions it doesn’t derail the game.) Player’s must be willing and able to post once a day at minimum. Must have basic respect for Tolkien’s world.  GM  - About me: Husband. Father of two. Ally to people of all walks of life. Amateur Tolkien scholar. Experienced but maybe a bit rusty GM who has run Middle-earth in D&D 5e, has run learn-to-play-and-gm Fate games before, and who is currently developing the Fate setting  The Stuffed Guardians  for print and pdf.
