interest in PbP

Post by ewancummins »

Note that these are listed in order of how soon I could start running each, and also in order of most to least flexibility about the player roster(because of established PCs and the need for continuity).

This poll is open (that's why it's not in PM) and results are not binding. I'm just looking to gauge interest. I'll make decisions about what to run and when based on player response, real life factors, and so on.

It's an open poll, so feel free to respond.

Pendragon would be a fresh start, so while I certainly want and expect return players, it need not be any particular line-up. New players would be cool. I'm not holding a spot for anybody, yet.

Birthright and Ravenloft would be continuing games/sequels, so slots would go first to guys with active PCs carried over from previous games. That doesn't mean new players are unwelcome. It's just a question of whether there is room. I won't know that until I get a better idea of interest and availability. Players come and go. Sometimes somebody wants to play, but is too busy with other stuff, and decides to sit one out.

Much as I like Ravenloft, I think I'm up for Pendragon this time. And I'm not saying that just because I need ideas for my post-apocalyptic King Arthur novel-in-planning. :D

Since I have never played Pendragon I prefer Ravenloft or Birthright but this doesn't mean that if you decide to run a Pendragon game I will not be interested, just need to tell me the base rules, how to make char etc :) But an Ewan's game is a must for me!

I'm willing to join. I've got a couple PCs that have been bound to Ravenloft, but haven't had much action for a bit. Namely, two paladins (human level 6). Although, if the need arises that I make a new character, I can do that, too.

Level 6 sounds about right based on characters from the pervious Ravenloft game.

If we end up playing that game, one those PCs may work well.

Of course I can't guarantee a slot in advance, not till I figure out:

A: Which of the three games I will run.

B: Who will play (I'm giving preference to return players with active PCs in the latter two games for the sake of continuity and out of courtesy to the players).

If Juergin counts, then yes, I am in. Otherwise na.

Juergin might be a borderline case.

Benn did extend a cautious sort of invitation to him to look the party up if he came to Pont-a-Museau.
On the other hand, maybe the PCs on the whole would be unwilling to accept him, knowing something about his murderous deeds.

I'd want a PC who could fit into the party, both for your sake and for the fun of the others.


If I ran a BR sequel, either of your two PCs might return.

Dominica was sent away with the official reason being the need to protect her from the vicissitudes of the war. The war has ended. No reason she can't return, although maybe she would not want to.

A certain dwarf is not welcome at court unless he apologizes to the duke, but might be welcome among other PCs.


In a Pendragon game, all PCs would be new, so the field stands open.

Well looks like Ravenloft is pulling ahead thus far.... xD I guess we'll have to see how it goes! xD

I really liked your BR character, Kintire. She came into play later in the game, so we didn't get as much opportunity for story development with her, and yet she accomplished quite a lot of impressive deeds and made some significant political connections.

It was a fun campaign, and an interesting change of style as well

Don't know Pendragon. As for BR not interested and RL only if Juergin would be in it.
