I'm willing to play in whatever is going on. I'm even willing to run something, although if I did, I would like to try using the Apocalypse World system. I've been reading about it lately and it seems tailor-made for PbP: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/194344/Apocalypse-World-2nd-EdThe default post-apocalyptic setting of this is fine with me (I've had sort of a nostaglic hankering lately for Twilight:2000). But if some other setting is more inspiring to others, I'm game for that as well. Mighty Darci agreed to play after she bowed out of the other dead PbPs but she is busy with school, so hopefully she'll pop in soon. I'll play in another PbP game no matter the rules. Twilight 2000 sounds awesome; what edition? I have the combined 1e edition book in print. My reference to Twilight: 2000 was to indicate the type of setting I would use. To be specific, the setting would be the first edition of the game, making it an alternate reality which diverged from our own in 1991. But the rules system I'd use would mainly be Apocalypse World 2nd Edition. I'm interested in this system because - as mentioned above - I think it would serve very well for running a play-by-post game, since it gives an extraordinary amount of agency to the players. It also has an extremely streamlined conflict resolution system, making combat and other time-intensive events in PbP play potentially flow a lot more quickly and smoothly. Rather than waiting through an interminable exchange of strike and counterstrike, the course of each "round" can be resolved with a single roll for each participant. As it applies to PbP, this resolution system means (as least as I see it currently) that each player of a participating character would tell the GM: 1) What ideal goal they want their PC to accomplish in the current "round," 2) What basic goal they're willing to accept if events fail to really go their way and 3) What consequence(s) they're willing to suffer in return for achieving at least minimal success. The GM would then make an appropriate roll for each participant character and figure out which parts of the above managed to happen for all concerned. Maybe I should post a version of the above to the appropriate board? Which would be where, exactly?

I do have access to the Apocalypse World 2e PDF.

I am able to play in Hexenritter Verlag, but I don't think I can add a second game at this time, so sorry raikenclw I am trying to learn not to over commit. Hexenritter Verlag are you going to assign stats and start a thread for my character or do you want me to (do I have access to) start a thread and go ahead and create the character including stats?

Though I answered this in PM, I'll repeat it here: When picking stats, go here to do so in TPD's 3d6 post. Then list it in a thread I'll post in the PbP character creation forum.

When you get back online just check the new stats thread in the character creation sub-forum raikenclw it should explain it.

I'm sure I'll find it eventually . . . ;P UPDATE: Nope. Not finding it. Link, please? UPDATED UPDATE: Ah! I stumbled across "Raikenclw's Ruin Raiders," then went back up the chain one link and found the game. I think I've got it figured out now.

I am thinking about doing a reboot and starting a pbp OD&D game back up. Checking to see if there is any interest in that. If so, I will make a post up at the top of the forum also.

Once I get enough people for a game, I will start posting how this is going to work, house rules, character creation and such.

Hello! I'm trying to get back into play-by-post. I am particularly interested in the Ironsworn: Starforged game system. This system allows players to create the game - including it's setting assumptions - entirely from scratch. It also has the option of what it refers to as "cooperative play." This option does not have a GM, because each player [using the system's various random tables] take turns making GM-style decisions. You can download the Ironsworn: Starforged rules here.

The site has free download options under downloads and it also has buy options, but it looks like you don't need to buy anything unless you want to.

Thus why I think the system is ideal for PbP play. As long as you have two active participants, the game can keep on chugging along. Each participant just needs to remain aware of the expressed preferences of the other players.
