The replacement players

Post by Arthur_Tuxedo »

OK, here's the situation: a few months back (before I left for Chile), we had an excellent game going using Blades and Barmaids rules set in the Forgotten Realms D&D setting. We were playing over OpenRPG, which is a program that combines IRC style chat with a map feature, dice rolling and other cool shit. We had 4 players, and 2 of them seemed to have dropped off the face of the Earth. I would hate to just stop such a good thing, so if I could find two (or more) people to replace them, that would be great. What I would really like is for someone to take over their characters, but I realize that only a rare person would be willing to do that, so they'll probably just have to receive an urgent family summons or be killed off or something.

Gerard Paloma and Eleas were the two other players, both with interesting characters. Eleas wrote a spectacular narrative version of what's happened since his character joined. It can be read here. All of the great dialogue came straight from the players. No creative license was used. Also, here is the campaign page: Homecoming campaign.

I hope I've piqued someone's interest, here. Thanks for letting me waste your time :D

Not to hijack the thread, but just to add, the two missing players in question were also in a campaign I was running. Also over OpenRPG, using the Guns and Glory modification to the Tensided rules, it was set in 1930s LA. Arthur was a player, as well as the other two disappearing acts. Unlike Art's campaign, the other PCs were not central to the story, so they can do the bullet dance for all I care. However, one player isn't enough, so I need some more. At least two, but more are welcome.

The campaign page is here. No fancy chronicle of what's happened, but the "Current Situation" heading on the campaign page says the only important thing that's happened so far.

If you're interested, reply here or send me an e-mail.
