gourdcaptain you were on TSE weren't you? Contact me on skype at ali.dogfish. This weekend I'll be running the first session for a bunch of newbies.

Sure - what's the time and appropriate software I'll need - I sent you a skype message as gourdcaptain.

BTW, if you have an idea what class you'll probably need (I'll play a warlord or rogue probably) tell me so I can build it.

RPGs / Re: Being a GM player under a new GM

I've DM'd Paranoia a few times, and the thing I would tell players starting under me now as a fledgling DM to do is not go completely overboard crazy. I near had a nervous breakdown dealing with a player who was loony (even by Paranoia standards) and kept on trying to detonate a nuclear reactor, make out with other players, and was even more trigger happy than usual (and got disturbingly good treason/attack rolls in his favor). Fortunatly, being Paranoia I just more or less nuked him metaphorically from orbit, but in most games that response won't fly.

In other words, if it looks like you are overstressing him, you might want to ease up a bit.

RPGs / How to look for a PBP/Skype Game

« on: June 20, 2010, 05:11:07 PM »

Hey, I'm new to the entire PBP/Skype game scene. I've been looking for a 4e D&D game online for a while now, and I can never seem to find one that gets off the ground I can express interest in. Does anyone have any tips for finding games?
