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. The campaign as a whole is a sandbox although there might be hooks for one or two session adventures that lean a bit more railroady, you will have to (both literally or figuratively) explore the sandbox to find most of those though.
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

Would be really curious to join in a Lancer round just to see how the "Narrative," aspect of play functions. I have ambitions to run my own game but I'm really struggling to wrap my head around the idea of how to weave a narrative and would love to see how others do it.
If I join a more fantasy oriented game I would kill for something with a lot of intrepid trekking/exploration in order to reach dungeouns to plunder, something where things like the Survival skill would come in useful

I am starting a game inspired by old school play-by-mail games. Players send me instructions for what they want to do, and twice a week I read everyone's instructions, compare them against each other, and adjudicate what happens. I have created a custom system for this game that I think provides and covers what I need to run this game (a more broad system as opposed to something like D&D which is a tactical combat simulator ala X-com more than anything else nowadays)

This is a game set in a loosely-defined world with a similar setup too, and large inspiration from fallout and adventure time; a scifi world plunged into apocalypse rebuilds as a mideval fantasy world with occasional old-world tech sprinkled about. It's very much an improv world/setting where once things are established they become cannon.

the GM (I) will be doing the rolls and mechanical side of the game behind the screen, to players it will seem mostly like a text-RP Game.

If you're interested, please DM me on discord!

I just don't like voice games online, too easy for people to talk over each other and there's a lot of ESLs who can pass on text but not voice.

>>97419315
I started recruiting players in game finder threads back in 2011 or so for IRC games. I've seen a lot of flakes, a lot of warm body type players, and a small number of people i still talk and play with to this day.

>>97450668
Not to mention people who wanna play voice, but cannot ensure a good mic, good connection, and a quiet fucking background for it.
Or have accents so thick that you need chainsaw to cut through it.

Nothing inherently wrong with voice, it's just should be played with people you already know, and didn't salvage from a Game Finder Thread.

>>97451576
Plus with timezones it might be midnight or later for some players, who don't want to disturb family/neighbors by speaking out loud

>>97451620
Does your whole family live in a one room hovel?

>>97451634
A lot of my players are Europeans, so I assume they live in a stone house with a thatched roof and dirt floor.

>>97419315
I recruited from a Gamefinder thread about month ago and my players have been mostly great. Having a simple form to fill out filtered out the shitters. Only 3 people out of the like 9 who showed interest actually bothered filling out the form.

I like 2hufag and most of his work but I'd never want to play with him. He's very much an optimize the fun out of the game kind of guy and playing with him would probably be miserable. I would happily chat with him but I've played with people who backseat optimize everyone else's characters and it sucks. *cough* erachima and Dr Pepper from the 4e Discord *cough*

>>97451620
Yeah, nothing beats the excitement of playing with someone who can only whisper through the entire session.

>>97419315
Your discord melodramatics are what killed gamefinders. You, personally, are what's wrong w/ it.

>>97451668
why didn't you tell them to stop?

>>97451844
I did. And then next session they'd do it again. I wasn't the GM so I had no power over actually making them stop. I was the only one of the group who wasn't using a super optimized build even though its not like the GM was running a game where it was necessary. The game ended up fizzling after like 7 sessions anyway due the GM's job making him travel too much but those two are in every US timezone game posted the the 4e Discord so I've played with them a couple times.

erachima is at least a good player when he's not trying to build your character for you. Dr Pepper sucks and plays his dwarf waifu every single game and then cries when she takes any damage as if he didn't roll her up as a Fighter.

>>97451903

>>97451576
The accent thing is highly subjective. I'm ESL and could perfectly understand a Scottish bloke, while the American GM couldn't.

>>97458304
Sure it is subjective, but also quite real.

Jesus is the 4e scene really that dead?

>>97460448
The Discord has like 2 or 3 new games posting in LFG a week. Its just some people, like those two, are in a lot of games. Like sometimes more than 1 a day. When I last played with erachima we were his second game of the day. Also like 99% of online games fizzle after a handful of sessions so its back to filling that timeslot when the game inevitably crumbles under the weight of flakes and scheduling.

I know other people who are like that too. Another player in a nonD&D game I'm in on Sundays is in like 4 other games. Every work night he gets off work and plays tabletop and then his days off are his break days. Tbh I think that's too much. I'm in 2 games, 1 as GM and 1 as a player, and that already feels like a lot of time each week.

>>97460538
When I was young, energetic, and had significantly more free time I was running two sessions a week, ~10hrs total. I can't imagine 4-5 sessions a week unless that's literally the only thing you do.

>>97460538
That's even lower than I expected. The only gamefinder I'm in gets at least one game ad a day and it's only of a middling size.

>>97461052
How many people is middling size?

>>97461340
Like 6 or 7

>>97461052
I'm in the 4e Discord, and 3 different Pokemon Tabletop Discords that are all around the same size, like 4kish people, and the 4e Discord by far has the most populated LFG section. 4e has its like 2 or 3 a week, the most popular Pokemon one has about 1 a week, the next about 1 every 2 weeks if you don't include random players blindly looking for groups and the last one hasn't had a new LFG post in like a month but it has spikes where it will have like 6 one week and then none for over a month.

Is the server you are in a general gamefinder one or only for a specific game? I feel like you get a lot more people asking in general ones that game specific ones.

One guy has a mic that makes the one that came free with your Xbox 360 sound like one of those fancy 3d ASMR mics in comparison. He also has a pretty thick accent and has at least one computer crash a session. The saving grace is that he's the shyest of the players so we don't have to struggle to understand him that often.

Everyone else has been genuinely great.

The focus is on a smaller region where people are rebuilding after a world spanning catastrophe. Lots of lingering threats, political instability and hints of greater threats on the horizon. Great change is coming, the players can be the agents of this change, or try to prevent it. Or head out and do their own thing.

>One guy has a mic that makes the one that came free with your Xbox 360 sound like one of those fancy 3d ASMR mics
Yeah, sorry about that. Honestly because it genuinely is but the real battle I'm actually fighting is against the noise filter. My microphone has a static problem, so I absolutely have to use rnnoise, but my voice seems to be outside of the voice profile it's good with (?) and so half my voice ends up getting dropped. Now I can speak in a different tone, which I try to during the sessions, but unfortunately, the natural inertia of your voice is too difficult to fight against and I very quickly get back to my voice getting slaughtered by rnnoise, but I'm trying to fix that, as best as I can, with my limited audio engineering experience.

>He also has a pretty thick accent and has at least one computer crash a session
The voice cuts may be contributing to the accent here, but the greater issue with the computer crashes is more about network disconnections as my computer hasn't really crashed in two weeks, and I tracked the previous crashes back to faulty power management. It shouldn't resurface again for the forseeable future. The network stuff, unfortunately is currently out of my power, because the ISP refuses to unblock P2P traffic, which also for some reason blocks discord calls, and so I have to split tunnel through a VPN. I'll probably be switching away soon.

That all, said, yes I still take 10 minute breaks in the middle of the session, because I only have a brief window to get my slop food to fill my belly since I don't cook.

tl;dr is that yes, technology hates me, but I'm sorry for burdening you with me, either way, and you've been a wonderful host and GM. I'll be working on fixing the audio and network issues over the next 2 weeks, and hopefully I'll be a little less bad of a player by the next session.

>>97469249
anon you sound like a real slob of a human being but your honesty and general vibe gives me a sliver of hope for the future denizens of this shithole

>>97469249
So don't join voice games.

>>97469249
>I only have a brief window to get my slop food to fill my belly since I don't cook.
How is this possible? Don't they have stores where you live? I also don't cook, but I have the decency to eat some other time than during a game session. Honestly, if I were the GM, I'd dump your ass immediately.

>>97461982
>the most popular Pokemon one has about 1 a week, the next about 1 every 2 weeks if you don't include random players
Yeah, but if you also exclude the paid and the games asking for pronouns, that number drops really fucking hard.

>>97469249
I will say it is getting better. When we sat down for character creation I almost kicked you because it sounded like you were calling from a tin can in a hurricane but you had shown way more initiative than anyone else that I was willing to give you a chance. Your quality was a lot more intelligible this past week so maybe in a couple more weeks we'll get you talking and understood as much as Spiff.

>>97470397
Those numbers actually are excluding the paid games. At least on the Pokemon servers since those shunt the StartPlaying retards into their own section.

Finding any game online without the pronoun nonsense is hard. Its partly why I recruited here. Almost no one is going to cry giant bitch tears when someone they met on 4chins calls something a retarded niggerfaggot.

I had thought about recruiting on KiwiFarms but those faggots are so desperately afraid of being doxed and shamed that they refuse to unless they can have like 4 levels of anonymity. If you don't act like a completely autistic retard spaz then no one going to go back to the website and call you a complete autistic retard spaz. Its really that easy.

>>97470080
>you sound like a real slob of a human being
That I am, a little, but more so I'm just poor. Turns out the only good place to be an embedded engineer is in late 2000s to mid 2010s China.

>>97470215
Perfectly rational point, but I want to.

>>97470361
>How is this possible? Don't they have stores where you live?
You got it actually. I live in a somewhat remote place here, and I basically pay a kitchen to make four meals for me everyday. They don't deliver things, so it's a five minute walk to not waste my money.
I am working on optimizing that out too though. I may be a horrible player, but the one thing I can say for myself is lack of effort to try and improve where I can.
I am much newer and younger than everyone else in the group, so I will have to get a lot of shit together to make it work eventually.
>Honestly, if I were the GM, I'd dump your ass immediately.
Perfectly understandable

>>97470468
Thanks and yeah, I sit down for thirty minutes to an hour before every session or other times during the week when I have the time to improve my audio quality through some audio engineering, so hopefully I'll get it working well soon. A microphone change is also on the table, if I get the time during my rare visit to civilized society the coming week.

Accept the reality that most people in a text based site are not going to want to use voice chat.

No.

>>97520403
I mean, if you're playing irl, you still have to talk with your mouth. The only difference with voice online play is that now these other guys (who don't know your identity), are 4channers and they know you are a 4channer too. I don't really get how it's worse than playing with strangers in a game store, except that you can make an alt account so no part of your identity except your voice is revealed to some strangers who also happen to visit a game finder thread on a Macedonian Vinegar Drinking forum.

>>97521422
>I don't really get how it's worse than playing with strangers in a game store
NTA, but I'd consider that torture.
I actually like voice chat for OOC, but prefer text for IC and would still try a game with no voice at all.

Personally, it's much less about any kind of social anxiety so much as the pace of the game. With text there's a lot more time to think and self-edit to truly deliver something you're happy with. The speed of voice demands near instant responses, which makes the hamstrings the quality of roleplay for anyone without a glut of experience. Additionally, you're basing responses on the protean memories of what was previously said. This is more realistic, but less likely to lead to the tone of epics people associate with grand settings.

I haven't played IRL since undergrad on account of people moving, but if I were to again I'd insist on everyone bringing a device to use a VTT and type. We'd just be in a shared space for when we get distracted and making chatting more pleasurable.

Can't find people to play while in Japan since I changed school, all my old friends live in a different part of town. I'm assuming nobody here lives in the JP timezone, where should I go to look for a game? My Japanese isn't good enough to play with the natives

>>97523922
check what aussie timezone you're in

>>97523922
Just find an international group whose timing coincides with a "comfortable" timing you have.

For UTC+9, you'll be running 17/16 hours ahead of pacific time, or 14/13 hours ahead of EST, 5–9 hours ahead of euros, and 1–4 hours ahead of mainland Asian groups.

For West coast americans, you can probably get by with a group that convenes on Saturday afternoon—Evening if you're free on Sunday morning yourself.

For the East coast Americans, You can coordinate their weekend morning game with your weekend evening/night, or a saturday night game on a sunday morning.

For Euros, you can play any of their weekday night games by waking up a little earlier once a week to play before school.

For the rare english mainland asian groups, they're basically in sync, you may have to stay up a couple hours too late.

>>97524004
I somehow keep forgetting Aussies

That's a weird take desu, but I understand the appeal of text games.
What I don't understand is how you make it work in pacing.

The two forms of scheduling I can see is either traditional, where you have everyone assemble in the group at the same time but due to the speed of thinking, typing and revising, the game slows to an absolute crawl, where barely anything happens in a session. The other is when everything happens without any schedule and whoever is due plays at their own pace, but that makes the burden to constantly check up on the group on the player, and any rules deliberation or conversation between players just kills whatever semblence of pacing remains after that.

Enlighten me anon
I'm genuinely curious how text based games are handled well.

>>97524310
you type in what you want to say or do and then you keep doing that until the session is over

how is this fucking complicated

>>97524319
I know that jfc. What I'm asking is that how is it paced well, because typing is an order of magnitude slower than voice conversations. >>97524068
Do you have multiple sessions per week? Or are you just fine with a slower game?

>>97524392
>because typing is an order of magnitude slower than voice conversations
only if you're retarded

>>97524396
Unless you're a group of professional steganographers writing the first thing that comea to mind, I fail to see how my cognitive capabilities have to do with the fact that you most likely type slower than you speak and that text conversations between multiple people in an RPG are often synchronous.

>>97524415

My experience has been asynchronous goes poorly. Synchronous you definitely move a lot slower than all voice, at least for out of combat. Combat goes the same speed since it's mostly OOC/voice, then you type descriptions during other players' turns.
For me, the massive increase in quality is worth the slower pace. But it's just a value judgement on what you prioritize. Deep roleplaying with high effort prose, or plot progression and genuine off-the-cuff reactions?
Also, there's a level of minimal typing (and thought) speed that's basically required to be honest. If everyone's a boomer at 20 WPM, it's gonna be miserable. If you type fast (~100+ WPM, no surprise I fall in this category), then it's just limited by your speed of thought really.

>>97524415
Is there something wrong with your hands?

>>97526496
not the anon you were responding to but yeah, my speed of writing is probably around 40 wpm. Just the idea of playing a game where i type entire paragraphs all the time is straight up miserable.
Hell i find even playing by voice through discord to be so slow and a mess that i have almost stopped playing rpg since the rona when my friends migrated to discord games.
Frankly before your posts i could never imagine how someone would even enjoy playing in this way. I think you have helped me see the opposite side of the coin.
It's also obvious that i value real time engagement and spontaneity along with speed of thought more than anything so we are total polar opposites.

>>97524415
Since the other anons don't want to bother explaining it to you (likely because you're retarded), here's a rundown:

Voice Chat
>DM has to say something
>nothing is written down so if you want more information or didn't hear proper you need to ask for more information
>people risk speaking over each other meaning you can only talk 1 at a time
>quality of mic varies and so does quality of headphones
>game is overall slow and sluggish because everyone needs to wait their turn to do anything

Text chat
>DM writes down the scene, no need to ask for further explanation and if intel is missing you can ask for more without necessarily interrupting the DM as he continues his exposition
>since it is all text people can "talk" over each other, as each action can be assumed to have been taken in order, if I say I grab the thief and you say you cast hold person on the thief both actions can happen at the same time or the DM can rule first action applies, thus saving you a hold person
>can listen to music while playing or if you're buddies even be in voice chat and discuss things OOC
>can take your time describing actions and speaking without needing to wait for your turn or risking trampling someone else's exposition, as again typing doesn't impair the ability of others to do their own thing
>no room for error regarding typing/reading unless someone is retarded, like you

Voice may seem faster at first but you need to consider two people cannot talk at the same time, while text may seem slow but everyone can type things at the same time and the DM has an easier time understanding what was done and in which order it happens.

So do players interact with each other at your table at all? Because in my text games, you need to wait for someone to finish their writing to respond to it with yours. You can write random jerkoff shit, sure, but actual response doesn't work in any way how you describe.

>>97537096

cool story bro

Half of your complaints about things being "confusing" are also actually solved by only one person being able to talk at a time, and a GM that knows how to use handouts.

I'll put it to a vote amongst those who join if they'd like to submit their actions with a voice chat or everyone types in their actions. Either way you'll have to join a discord in order to get in touch with the party.

It is imperative that you understand that this game is to be played with dragons and only dragons as the player characters. The QRD is that you are playing newly hatched dragons that must go out into the world and become worthy rulers by facing trials or completing tasks requested of the greater dragons.

>I want to play mostly on weekdays, as weekends are mostly reserved for another table I host for, who wouldn't want to play this kind of game. My timezone is EST/New York time
This is very interesting to me but could you be more specific please?
Weekdays could mean anything from 8-11 PM or full NEET degen midday.

>>97557162
Thanks for your interest! And no problem, lemme be more specific. I have a pretty open schedule on weekdays, so we could start anywhere from 4pm to 8pm, and sessions can go as long as the party would like to, averaging 3 hours imo, so, I think the latest would be 8-11pm like you said. But we could always start earlier in the afternoon.

>>97555714
You can be a fast reader but you can't be a fast listener
Also, much like the words you're reading right now, text is hard to misunderstand, you can re-read the same text a few times to make sure you understood what is written, then replay accordingly

I mean just consider this entire thread, right now I can read the post above you and under you, as I read them I can type that the guy below your post is seeking people for a dragon based game, as such at the same time I am reading I can also write
Better yet, you are not plagued with my "waiting" around to read, you receive the entire message in a single block, without stuttering, without time wasted
If you believe that recorded voice messages could expedite things and make them better, I'd suggest making a version of 4chan without text and only recorded messages, by that metric it should be a much more popular medium
