OK. I would like to do a bit of an experiment. It will require faith between the players and GM (me) to accomplish.
Would anyone be interested in a Stone Horizons pbp (play(test) by post)?
You will have to show faith in me to the degree that you won't have all of the rules at your disposal and i will show faith in you that the stuff i send you will stay with you. I've done some playing with my group, but as yet nothing has been attempted outside of my group. Maybe not having to go through the whole document will appeal to some folks.
If you don't know what i'm talking about, check out the Stone Horizons thread in the game design forum. Also i'm attaching the Stone Horizons FAQ document here for more info.
If it gets going and then stutters to a halt, this might be a risk, but frankly, this is more of a test than a full-throttle game (although i will treat it as any other game i would run on here), so i have no fears on that count. Some of what is done in this pbp game might find itself in the game and if we manage to keep this going to everyones enjoyment, then you get your names in the Playtesting credits.
I would prefer if we could communicate via e-mail rather than on this forum for any in-depth discussion of the game, but we will have an IC and OOC thread like other pbp games.
So, if you want in, give me a peep in this thread and we'll see what happens! If not, no worries! :)

You know I'd do what I could to help - this sounds intriguing...

Thanks Jim! :) I don't think a 1 on 1 is going to work, so we'll see if anyone else fancies something a bit different. It would be cool to get something going.
I'd like to give it a try. Traffic is probably low as this is Thanksgiving weekend - you might get more takers on Monday.
Cool. We could manage with 2, i guess. I'll see if there are any more takers by Tuesday. :)
So, yeah. I'm interested, too. Just tell me when the game's supposed to start, and I'll reread the newer rules in the appropriate thread by then.
I'm used to more free-form pbp roleplaying, but this sounds interesting. I'd like to participate. I might be missing some understanding but I'll catch up. :)
Oh'p. Never mind. :)
!i!
