Hi, guys. I’m trying to put together a Dungeon World PbP game on Snail’s Pace about being undead. Hop in: http://snailspace.forgreatjustice.net/comments.php?DiscussionID=926&page=1
Alternatively, persuade me to do it in Hangouts instead maybe? I don’t know exactly how hangouts work (not big into social media), so I make no promises that I’ll be able to do it at all, but it can’t help to suggest.

Hangouts is literally just a group video call, so the real question is “do you prefer realtime sessions or the slower pace of PbP.” Realtime sessions mean hashing out a group of players with a coherent schedule if you wanna make it a going concern.
Having read over your OP there, btw: you can EASILY do XP in the standard Dungeon World “end of session” fashion by simply watching for a good narrative lull. Finished the fight with the latest Big Bad and unearthed the clue that’ll lead you to the next? Chapter’s over! Award XP!
Anyway I got too many other games going right now, but it looks like a fun setup!
I’m interested. Applied for my Snail’s Pace membership. Pbp works for me since I’m located outside the US.
I thought hangouts might be a live thing. Currently I don’t have anywhere near the time to do something live, so I’m sticking to Snail’s Pace. Thanks for explaining.
Is getting accepted to Snail’s Pace actually way harder than I remember it being? I thought it was just a sign up, click email, log in sort of thing like most forums have.
My application consisted of email, username, and password. I’ve been waiting for approval for three days.
Is there a better Pbp option?
All we really need is a forum. There’s websites like Invisible Castle that will let us use a reliable die roller regardless of whether or not the forum we use has one built in. We could run it here, or set up a freeforums thing.
Well, we also need another player or two, but it’ll probably be easier to find them if we’re on a website that doesn’t have such an excruciatingly long sign-up process.
I suggest trying RPOL. I’m involved in another game there, and it works fine. Even has email notifications.
Hm. While I don’t recall signing up, it would seem I already have an RPOL account. Neat.
Dead Courtiers is now set up at RPoL: http://rpol.net/display.cgi?gi=4&ti=31106&date=1383004659
Addendum: I do wish I could edit that first post to update the link. And fix the typo.
Joined RPoL, and sent a request to join the game.
