This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So will the actual play take place on your website (which is quite nice, btw) using a play-by-comment technique?  I'm not familiar with it, but I'll read the rules when I get a chance.

Sorry if I havent been clear. The game will actually take place at my site. The format is essentially the same as play by forum games-answers are just made in the comments of a blog entry. An official update will take place say once a week, which keeps the story "neater" without the mostly aesthetic problems that occur when PCs post over each other, contradict each other etc..

I suggest that you take a look the Barrier Peaks RPG. Its one of the sites that inspired me to run this type of game. You each essentially respond and interact with one another in the comments, with the DM responding when necessary. Each week I will do a recap post to move the story forward and recap what just occurred.

Ideally I'd like Pcs to post every few days but I am flexible in regards to this.

Anyway,I'm making it sound more complicated than it is.

I can dig that.  How do we handle OOC comments and meta-talk?  Just keep it here or is there a separate place for it in wordpress?  Or do we do it in the comments, with brackets or something?

Consider me interested. I just found this thread, and am pretty busy right now, but I'll try to roll up a character in the next day or two.

I have to confirm that the blog is unaccessible. Says "the author deleted it". What gives?

Wow.  Short attention span there!  These things take time, The_Shadow.  We're building up a nice little roster.  Be patient, young Padawan.  I suspect he's re-jiggering the website, as he already changed the template once.

Yeah, now I'm starting to question my earlier optimism. DeCoucy?  Hello?  Did you blog negative things about Putin or something?  I hope all is well out there.

This is shaping up as a bit of a mystery. Looked like he had put serious work into the blog, then it just disappears?

Well, even if it's now not possible to know if the game is actually starting sometime, even if I didn't count how many players already signed for the game, I'd like to join. I'm from Italy, so maybe I could go for a character which doesn't speak a great Common.
