Hmm, so you're going to be using forums? If a spot opens up, could you let me know? I am really interested, especially since it's in a setting I've never really gone into before. I was thinking it would be more of a chat-based program or something, but if it's forums I know I should be able to finagle my internet connection into loading them, just have to fiddle with settings.

I for one like the Star Wars idea.

It is a setting a bit more familiar to me, yet i am not fully into lore

Right-o, also forgot to mention extras are on a first come first serve basis. So you can apply as an extra, and if we need more players later I'll go down the list asking if they want to join up. That totally slipped my mind. Also it's for sure on some forums, and a fairly relaxed pace once or twice a week. This gives players a few days to think out a reply to whatever is going on.

Well this seems like it might be fun.

How long do games ussually last? and when do you think we will start?

Last? That is usually up to the GM (or the players if it's a more free-form game). The S&W game I might set up if anyone is interested has a clear end because it's a dungeon. Granted, that dungeon is eleven or so levels, but still.

Ok, well, I'm officially requesting status as an extra ^^ This sounds like it will be quite fun ^^

As long as there are players who want to play really, or if nothing happens to the game master. Our game that ran for a year and a half died instantly soon as our GM got in a car crash (lived), but his internet also got disconnected for whatever reason. It's sort of an ongoing thing, and even if I did have a plot of fixed length it might take some time to figure it out. Long, but at the same time not very demanding. I update once or twice a week, which gives players at least a day or two to think of how they want to proceed. Long term, slow, and ongoing. Unless we later opt to have some temporary spurts of increased activity. IE we move from the forums to IRC or something for a few hours of game time where we are all posting instantly. Though these are completely optional, only if people think they can handle sitting around playing for a few hours.

I'll set up the out of character thread within an hour or two. This thread is where we do the rolls, make our character, and generally talk about things not actually happening in the game itself. I can explain in greater detail there, as well as start showing some of the rules to people who don't have them yet.

This sounds good to me. Getting off for now. Should be back home around 10, latest I'll be on is 12.

This is the out of character thread. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10719570#post10719570 All I'm asking is a simple check in letting me know your forum name over there and posting that your ready to go.

From what I've seen there's usually a general goal at the start of the campaign. Once that goal is reached the GM will start adding more and more plots and goals to the campaign. For example, one campaign I was watching on a live stream, the players finally managed to defeat the big bad guy. Unfortunately somewhere along the way on their quest to defeat the big bad guy, one of the players got a really nasty curse on them. So there was this whole new arc to the campaign to remove that curse that took them to far off lands and had them traveling through time. It was really interesting to watch.

Word of advice, [censored] is going to hit the fan. Your all players, it's practically a class feature you mess things up.

Edit
As people post in the out of character thread I can then send you a private message with the rules and stuff. So yeh, you can start working on your guys before everyone shows up. I don't have any idea when I might make a cut off day for actual character creation, so don't worry about it right now. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=10719570#post10719570

Edit2
New comic day, so it might be a little slow. Doesn't happen often. Well, more accurate to say it happens sporadically. So sometimes more, and sometimes less.

So is anyone else having trouble with that catchpaw? I've tried registering like 10 times and it tells me I'm wrong every time. Edit: Nevermind, it finally went through. I swear I've never seen such a convoluted forum registration system.

I didn't, but I know for a fact I did on some other site. No matter how many times I entered the right words it never accepted it, apparently that can be an error. There should be a way to contact them to help you. You can also try the sound version.

Edit
Now just to wait for the others to trickle into the other thread. Give it a day, that gives me some time to slowly parcel out my advice to people over the course of a few days. Not everyone all at once.

yeah, me and my friend had a lot of trouble signing up.

I take it your going to join us in the ooc thread soon? I have the link up above. We're just starting character creation.

yeah, my pal here (ryace) already posted.

I put in the wrong pass to many times and have to wait 15 minutes

Do you want the "Extras" to post in the OOC thread as well, or no?

yeah, its saying i still have to wait 15 minutes to sign in, its been nearly an hour

Uh no, but it's looking good for you to get a spot Starwulf. My friend hasn't been on in like two days, and I can only hold that spot for so long. Not to mention I suspect he would have turned it down anyways. He has from today until tomorrow to let me know if he wants to play.
Uh try clear your browser cache specter. If you using firefox go to history, and then select to clear everything. This should hopefully fix that problem.

D&D is fun but i've never played a PnP online, sounds interesting. Could be a lot of fun, if another game starts up i'd like to join. ^_^

@ Starwulf, your in. Capital decided to drop out. So you can come and report in the ooc thread. I do have to work today so ask one of the others to send you the rules on that site unless you want to wait until I'm online.

@ Woodelf, if you want I can put you on the extras list. It's now empty, so if someone doesn't show up or they drop after awhile your in. Also I'm holding a slot for my friend, but I haven't seen him in like 3 days now. His slot expires tonight, so if you want I can add you to the reserve slots. Good chance you might get in tonight.

Edit
@ anyone else. I'll hold wood a spot for now, but we might be having some extra spots open up. If anyone's interested now might be the time to apply as an extra.

That would be awesome. :bowdown:

My friend has 3 1/2 more hours (ish, but 5pm eastern time sharp is his cut off moment) to accept his invite. If he doesn't your in like flynn.

Hey, can I get on the extras list? I've a bit of experience playing PnP RPGs, but not Star Wars, so I'd love to play. As you can probably tell, Star Wars is one of my favorite franchises.

Right I'll add you to the extras then Ewok. Your right up next after woodelf.
