Zipp's hosting a game!

[Zipp]

Well, with the two games (one on MSN and one in person) that I was running with Michelle down, I'm going to open up an online game for Lone Wolf at the RPOL. I'm looking for three players to be Kai Lords in this game.

The adventure will take players through a series of twisted events and adventures that lead them to every corner of Magnamund. There will be dark dungeons, unexplored terrain, legendary encounters, and a winding plot that the players help shape. Player actions may see their country and order brought through dark times to a bright future... or they may end up witnessing the destruction of their homeland and the Kai Order.

There will be some changes to the base LW rules, but nothing major. I may or may not use a set of willpower rules as suggested on the Mongoose thread... if so, that would be the biggest change. All other discussion will occur in the RPOL thread.

NOTE! This is planned to be a long running game with frequent activity. While characters may very well die, I'm looking for players who can be committed to the game and will be able to post regularly. I will be expecting to post every other day... or daily if possible.

You know... life happens. And I'm open to the occasional need to not post or possibly a slow down in the schedule as people get busy. However, the LW system is extremely simple rules-wise and posting can be done in a matter of minutes. As such, it doesn't seem obtuse to expect daily posting.

If you're interested, send me a message over at the game:
rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=42325&date=1276917913

In your message, please include what kind of character history you're thinking of incorporating into your Kai. First come, first serve.

Here's the scenario... hopefully it whets some interests....

The year is 4434. It is a time of change. The war of the Lorestones has just ended in the Stornlands and the Vassagonian Empire has yet to rise. The Sommlending Crown, having lost one of its major trading partners during the war of the Lorestone, has fallen in debt to the Guilds of Toran and relations between the two cities of Toran and Holmgard are strained. The Kai Lords stand peacefully aloof from this conflict. Though the Darklords are an ever-present threat, the Kai are numerous and stand strong against them. Aided by the power of the book of the Magnakai, the Kai Lords are able to single-handedly keep the Darklords behind the Durncrags. It is this power which grants them political immunity.

In three days time, that will change. In three days, the Book of the Magnakai will be stolen and the Kai Order will be plunged into civil war.

However, tonight the Kai prepare for the Feast of Fehmarn, blissfully ignorant of the fate fast approaching their order. In the midst of the preparations, three young Kai Lords will set out on a mission to scout the Durncrag Mountains in order to take care of a giak raiding party that has been plaguing Sommerlund's border.

This will be their mission together, but not their last...

Have you considered using rptools? They're quite good for running a campaign (you can make maps on the computer, show players what you want them to see etc). The problem would be timing: everyone would need to be on at the same time.

[Zipp]

I've never used RPtools. What is it, exactly?

I'm not sure I'll need anything too complicated for this game. RPoL has a built-in dice roller and lots of places to keep track of info. As for maps, I'll probably use Honza's great Magnamund map. For dungeons and what not... description worked for Dever, it can work for me!

[Kaiser Lord]

I'd be up for this!

My only question before I commit tho would be, do we all have to be on at the same time when posting like you did with Michelle in her RP? Or is it just a post for post basis?

It has a bunch of things, check it out!

[beowuuf]

It's a play by post game, so you just need to make a forum post each day.

[Zipp]

Well, that was fast! We are full up! PLayers are Egleris and Kaiserlord from the PA forums, and Marcus from Mongoose!

If people drop, I'll put out another notice. If anyone gets the time, they may want to keep up with the game... looks to be an interesting group of characters!

[discosoup]

D'oh! I just sent a request to join without reading this last post!

[Zipp]

I still appreciate the interest!

[discosoup]

Thanks.

[askhati]

Ja, queue me up as well for the next open slot.

[zut]

Damn it! Why do always the most interesting projects and the desperate lack of time seem to coincide in one's life?
Well, another webpage bookmarked and excitedly awaiting every new post (with the hope of a chance to join similar projects in the future ).

[Zipp]

I posted this in another thread, but it's relevant... if anyone wants to continue to read some kick-ass Lone Wolf adventures, I suggest sending me a PM over at the RPOL game. I'd be happy to add anyone in as an observer to the game and you can all feel free to add OOC comments. Plus, if anyone drops, those who are there as OOC get first dibs on joining the game.
