It is exploration round 1/2. This round ends at 10:00 am PST tomorrow.

You pass through the remains of what was once a village. Crumbling buildings, hollowed out by flame, dot the landscape. The once proud cobblestone road is torn up, going is slow and treacherous. After an hour of veering through the desolate streets, you hear a loud crack as one of the wheels on the...

It is campfire. This round ends 10am PST Friday.

It is exploration around 2/2. This round ends 10am PST tomorrow.

You leave behind the valley, the last vestige of the civilized world, following a rutted, pockmarked road on a clumsy stagecoach. The road is long and treacherous; the air reeks of death and the land seemed festered and decayed. You set up a crude camp, a handful of scattered campfires surrounding ...

It is exploration round 4/4. This round ends at 10:00 am PST tomorrow.

Ruin has found you at last. My protege - my friend - our calculations were correct: the ephemeral equation is unbalanced. The earth spins on a strange and terrifying new axis, and everywhere... unbridled consequence. The world is a wasteland of failures past, and yet you must ride out into it, unaf...

Few general reminders for messaging and actions: All of your messages must be signed. This can either be with your rolename or your player name, your choice. If you don't say, I will assume it is your player name. This does not count toward your word total. E.g. a received message will look like: La...

Messaging rules have been updated to clarify contractions and acronyms.

Role PMs are out.

Role PMs will be going out shortly. In your role PM you will see a link to the game Discord server. Please accept the invitation and I will allow you to access your private chat. Once all players have accessed the chat, I will start the game (hopefully tomorrow). Please do not post in this thread wi...

Gather your courage and ride out into the chaos of a world undone. Our heroes and a stagecoach are all that stand between darkness and salvation. From the burning Sprawl to the diseased Foetor, the long road will challenge your strategies and your endurance. Journey to the Mountain and face down th...

Thanks for signing up everyone!

I'll aim to start have role PMs out tomorrow and game start Tuesday

Probably the game will mostly be run on Discord with a main thread for public messages.

This still in the works?

Yes. Signups posted.

My notes say you did. Player list I have is Zen, somitomi, Sabrar, wam, heury, Madge, SirG, Vicarin, jimbob.
Game was from 2018 and it was pretty short so not that surprising if you don't remember.

how many players???? Run it!!!! Look like I ran it with 9 players, but I vaguely tested some ideas for it for up to 16. I can look into putting it together if people are interested in a low-posting game after Adum's game. I have some notes about things I'd want to do differently so I wouldn't run t...

Laser did you end up downloading all your quicktopics before that site went down? Thats where we played it. Would love to see it if you have them Unfortunately it doesn't look like I picked up the player quicktopics. I have the full setup--role PMs, all of the night actions and how they were resolv...

Tales Haven't been following much but I'm pretty happy that I got Bop and EGW correctly in my scum pile on D1. Of course if there were a post cap, people might feel compelled to make wall of text posts. Yeah for sure, I was thinking about a character limit per post and if you go over it counts as 2 ...

@ahippo can we get a reads list from you along with a vote please? I really think it'd be disingenuous and extremely arbitrary to try to actually rank folks. Like somebody would ask me on D2 "Hmm, ahippo, what about X struck you as more scummy D1 than Y?" I'd much rather own up to not bei...

Can you explain this one.

Vibe mostly? He felt fairly townie to me early in the day. I haven't done a deep dive on him.
