Im looking for some level of commitment, you dont have to show up to every session but I need enough people to show up to each session in order to run a game.
Fully fleshed out KotBL to start. West marches style campaign meaning if you want to show up, if you cant you cant, no issues either way.
I will not giving a ton of info to the players about how the system is working, in a super old school style. Players will still roll and have a sheet but you will not know everything that is going on in the rules.
It will probably be rather lethal if you don't take things slow
THIS IS NOT 5e OR ANYTHING CLOSE, if you come in assuming that it is like 5e you will be wrong.
I tend to run mostly theater of the mind so no VTT. If you want maps you will have to draw one yourself, there may be some regional maps available for purchase in game but no guarantees those are any more accurate than what a medieval peasant could draw without cartography gear

Thank you for outing yourself as a plebbitor, nigger. You have to go back.
Before 2020, the gayfinder thread was more alive than those stupid generals (plebbit threads) and fa/tg/uys did not consider each other strangers. But consequences of Donald Dump and his Jewish circus of faggots had been a disaster for the 4chinese race, and real tranny pandemic hit the general populatin of nerds hard during the fake pandemic.

Looking for another player or two, hopefully that can commit. This is an ongoing campaign and we're now at level 3 but one player had to drop due to sleep issues so we need a fourth(maybe even a fifth!). We're playing in the Urth setting and the party is currently in Low Country.

The game will be a solo (I.e one player, one GM). The premise involves working on board a halfling merchant trading ship as the main source of protection and Warhammer stuff goes down.

All the time, but we don't have openings right now.

Yes

If you want to play in the first session reach out to me in the next 60 hours. Afterwards the game is still open you will just have to wait until next month to play

I found it's too much like pulling teeth unless your players want PbP as much as you.

It's exactly like any social activity in that way.

Strange state of affairs. Theres a lot more GMs posting than players. Its been a long time since I looked at one of these threads, and I don't remember that being the case.
GMs who posted, did you find anyone? Is that the sad state of affairs that people are open and willing to GM, but they can't find players?
>>
>>96962450
I've run many games with people I found in gamefinders - mixed, but generally fine results. Met some really fun people here.

The games I've joined have all been bad or died due to the gm ghosting us however.

>Is that the sad state of affairs that people are open and willing to GM, but they can't find players?
Believe it or not, the quality of players out of this place is just as bad and often worse. Even dnd players, a dime a dozen, are awful and inconsistent. You're way better off finding people on this hellhole, unironically. Shitters will be like any other shitters, but you're more likely to find good players and of a better quality.
I got one player that's now a regular in my group from here (though not this general), and he has been nothing but satisfactory and a great addition to the rest of the players (they're somewhat hesitant and undecided, but he brings them back to focus).
>>
>>96963360
This seems almost totally unrelated to what he asked. He didn't ask anything at all about what players here are like, he was asking why there don't seem to be any players at all.
>>
>>96963377
It's related. It's not that there aren't players, it's that it's better to ask here, or make a double LFG post here and on whatever other forum. Either because you know and/or prefer the /tg/ crowd, or because you have a niche system to pitch. I know I don't do LFG on Reddit because I will only get low quality players. Fool me once, all that stuff.
>>
>>96963456
I think you may have missed the reason for his question.
There aren't any players in the thread and no one is responding to any of the game ads.
That's why he asked, "they can't find players?"
No part of the post is asking about anything to do with other sites or comparing 4chan with other sites. He's asking why GMs can't find players, here, in this thread.
>>
>>96963469
Really, how many players ever get picked up, here or anywhere else? The chances of one finding the system he wants, at the time he wants, are miniscule compared to a GM finding players. I think players' LFG have disappeared because of that reason, and as far as having trouble finding them, that has always been the case, between this general being largely forgotten/ignored, players not being interested in the system, or timezones not lining up
>>
>>96962450
Why bother? It was always a lot harder to get a game as a player than as a GM, and with how dead and rotting this board is these days your chances of getting a good game out of it aren't worth the trouble.
>>
>>96962450
I haven't posted recently, but my experience has been that player postings get zero responses and GM postings get some. There's basically just no reason to post as a player unless you're asking a question though.
Unless what I've wanted to run is very niche I normally get more people interested than I can handle, but quality varies significantly. Many are not worth playing with. I've also met some who I played with for years and became friends with IRL.
I think the easiest way to explain it is that a GM looking for players is extremely likely to make a post of their own, so a player making a post doesn't really accomplish anything more than just reading the thread and contact GMs who've already posted.
>>
>>96962450
For what it matters; I got 2 players from here. Got none from my posting on a gamefinder discord.
>>
>>96954264
Why would anyone want to go to this drama-filled discord server where you have to to play mother may I, I'm not worthy with the owners of the server!
>>
>>96938884
So of use have no choice.
You get what you like or you like what you get.
For some over use.
You make do with what you can get or you go without.
This hobby is a five layers deep.

I don't wanna use voice to roleplay.
>>
>>96973376
I want to use voice to talk about the game, but not for roleplay itself. That way I don't have to wait for some boomer 20 APM retard to say "I roll to attack" but I can actually think through and articulate my roleplay properly as text (with a record!).
Unfortunately, this is extremely rare it seems.
