Edit (June 10th, 2022): Locked threads archived in a subfolder for neatness. If you want to read from the beginning, read in numerical order there, then come to the active thread in the main Sunflower folder. Edit (April 3rd): This seems to be working out for now. So far it's a one-player gig, but anyone else can join if they want. Just let me know. There's lots of room.I'd like to give a playtest a try. Anyone who wants to try playing is welcome, just reply to this thread (if you haven't told me so already). Let me be upfront about what I'm attempting here. I'm going to do what we often talk about on this board, which is something I have never done: build it as we play. There's no magical world I've already designed. It will be happening in real time (well, real PbP time), for better or for worse. So please note, this is a playtest. What we're testing is not a ruleset. What we're testing is my ability to a run a seat-of-pants PbP game. And I can't guarantee that it will be fun! But if you try it out, I will try my best to make it fun. I'm still working on system. I'm not good at this part and I'm just going to make rulings as necessary for now and see what we need. For character stuff, please click over to this Character thread. Edit: Actual rolling of dice (or simulated actual rolling of dice could happen again sometime! (Tagging in: The Semi-Retired Gamer ) |

When this starts (assuming we get anyone else on board), I will guide you through very brief character customization and then set the stage. From there, as far as what you get to do, the sky is the limit.

(This is still a playtest, but I will try to respond to everything at least once a day. I lay no charge on those who volunteer to play.)

(This is still a playtest, but I will try to respond to everything at least once a day. I lay no charge on those who volunteer to play.) I hope you run this for quite a while, I am hoping in 2-3 weeks I will be able to join. Along with all the health stuff, my house drains plugged (52 year old house, with old cast iron drains) and there is demolition and reconstruction going on from the overflow that was caused. (All that is going on around my constant doctor appointments, since no one to let them in when I am gone). |

Something was always going wrong. I say that with full respect for the house, which was a good house by my lights, but nothing lasts forever. |

They also come with a lot of charm in many cases. Best of luck The Perilous Dreamer with your demolition and reconstruction. If you could join us when the time is better for you that would be cool. |

The Perilous Dreamer Agreed with SRG on the repairs. And you're welcome to join in anytime, even if slowly. I can work you in as a solo party and keep you that way for a while if you don't want to get caught up in a two-character adventure that you might not have time for.

I should have time, once I get the house repairs done. Well maybe a little longer than that, I have a lot of doctor appointments for a while here. |

Due to in-game events, the intial setting is no longer the setting of active play. Persons wishing to join the game should consult the ref about how and "where" their characters can enter.

In case rolls are coming up, I will say here that I will roll for NPCs and PCs separately, keeping track of this on the dice thread. I will explain what we are rolling for, although I suppose it will be obvious enough here.

Copied/pasted from the Introductions thread: Congrats, The Semi-Retired Gamer ! I'm frankly a tad jealous, as the pbp I'm in (while still active) is on very low simmer at the moment. You're welcome anytime! I am assuming that this is the pbp being referenced in the Introductions thread? If so, count me as interested.  As of the time of this post, I've only read this thread. But should time permit on my upcoming shift tonight, I will attempt to remedy this. |

As of the time of this post, I've only read this thread. But should time permit on my upcoming shift tonight, I will attempt to remedy this. It is indeed. The only threads one would read are the threads with the "filenames" like EG_001, EG_002. There are 4 so far. EG is the initials of the sole PC so far, so those are just for reference. If we had a new PC coming in, well, we'll see how we'll do it. Maybe the new PC would have his own thread for a while, depending on how he's to be introduced. We would figure it out. But yeah, if you take a look and you're at all interested, let me know. I think it's been going well, but another player is certainly welcome. |

Still reading. It's fairly slow going, in between everything else. But interesting.

I am still having trouble getting my act together.
IF any former players wanted to interact with the game world in a different way, low-impact, I have a couple ideas. More co-creation than playing. It runs into ideas for a kind of 3D campaign I've toyed with for some time. No pressure.
