Not sure where to put this – I’ve decided to go ahead and kick off a PbP game of Dungeon World. Looking for folks who can average at least 1 post per day on week days, and then a more lax schedule on weekends.
This is the first time I’ve ran DW in PbP, but I’ve done other games before. Looking to create the world with the players. Anyway, request to join if you’re interested:
BTW, click on ‘Game Info’ to see the ideas I have for the game. For some reason the direct link there did not work.
Here’s the link directly to the game info (I hope this works):

Sure, I’m in.
I wouldn’t mind giving this a try. In my experience, these sorts of games only last as long as people are willing to pursue them.
Just sent you an access request.
Cool – request to join the game on rpol and we’ll get something going 🙂
Alex, I just added you. We’ll change your character name once we get character creation moving and you’ve decided on a PC name. Welcome aboard!
I have requested access as well
Awesome, just added you Rory!
Just added the last two players. Thanks for joining guys, looking forward to having fun!
BTW, I just posted a link in the game for a way to set it up so rpol mails you if there are new posts – not sure if it sets that by default for folks, but it’ll help keep you up to date 🙂
I know you don’t have room, but thought I would throw in a tally into the hat in case there is a space in the future?
Hey guys, the game is all full, but I’ve gotten a LOT of interest in this. I think there are at least 3-4 other folks who have asked to join after the game filled up. It might be worth it if one of you start another of these games – I wish I could run another, and maybe after I get this one going and start to feel comfortable with it I’ll start another, but just letting everyone know that there is interest!
Run, run a game? (whimper)
I’d be willing, but I’ve never done a PbP game before, so I think that would be a bit much combined.
To be fair PbP can be a lot easier than playing in person – you have a little more time to think about things (which is great for such a dynamic game like DW) and you & the players can really get into writing some awesome fiction since it’s more like collaboratively writing a book than storytelling.
That said, the hardest part is keeping up the momentum. I’ve sent messages to all the folks who applied to my game on RPOL but didn’t get in – hoping one of you will be up for running a game for the rest 🙂
Looking over that game, it is looking beastly- great job Michael!
Thanks! Honestly at this point it’s all the awesome players and their ideas – I hope I can provide adventures that are worthy of the cool stories that have been created so far 🙂
Just read all the posts myself. Looking really cool. I’ll have to read for a bit to see how PbP games are supposed to play out, and then I might be willing to GM one for some people also.
I got it stuck in my head to do a PbP of WoD. I haven’t mastered the basic rules yet, so, is that a good idea or?
Yes! The rules are pretty short anyway.
still hmmming over it, but I think Ill go and do it. All I need is 2 pages and a lot of patience
It’s been a long time since I’ve played WoD, but I used to run servers that had WoD MUSHes on them. I would say stick to rules light systems if you can – it makes things a lot easier. That said, I don’t think WoD would be SUPER hard.
Also, wow, feeling the pressure to make this game good! 🙂 Seriously, I’ve bene blown away by the creativity of the players. They’ve almost given me TOO much to work with.
What’s extra awesome is that it makes it easy to be a fan of the characters – and it’s definitely a world I’d love to play in 🙂
Michael Walsh Ovy Ortega If you guys need a hand with PbP or RPOL let me know. I’m glad to help.
Tempted SO tempted
World of Dungeon World, I do like the sound of that!
Hahaha – the game system I’ve really wanted to use for every other game that I’ve played but thought the mechanics got too complicated is FATE. Honestly I’d love to see a mixture of FATE & DW – there are so many parts of each that I freaking love.
I really want to do a Scion type game (without the crunch) based on FATE or FATE Accelerated Edition. ESPECIALLY after reading these APs:

I have had thoughts of throwing DW, Risus, and Donjon in a strange crucible and cooking until caramelized.
Never played Risus or Donjon, but sounds good to me 🙂
