I am not certain that this is the place to post this request, but hey… here we are anyways! 😀
My wife and I are looking to play in a regular, recurring DW game/campaign, via Roll20 (preferred) or Hangouts. Unfortunately, our schedules dictate that we can only play between 9pm and Midnight EST, although any night would be fine.
We’re both veteran gamers (though DW is fairly new and wonderful to us) in our 40’s, but due to our family obligations we’re not really able to satisfy our gaming fix like we used to… Please help!
#LFG #Campaign
Good luck in finding a group, I wouldn’t mind being consider as as a sit-in at times, but regular play is often a problem for me since my life is subject to interruptions that pull me away from the computer. I have been involved in a few MMORPG’s in the past 16 years ( As time permits), but have yet to play a P & P games. Are you two interested in running a campaign or looking for one?
We’re looking to play this time, actually. We’ve pretty much worn out the MMORPG scene, and crave the open-ended, ad-lib, shared-investment-in-the-game-world thrill of DW!
Matthew Everhart Awesome, I think that is great. I feel pretty much the same way about MMORPGs, great games, but I did my run on them and desire neither the time-sink nor the limitations that they can become at times.
What days are you looking to play on?
I know you said any, but usually some work better than others.
+Jeff Wells ideally it would be a Friday or Saturday, but we’ll make any night work.
Those are my exact same hours of availability… I’ll talk to some of gamer friends and keep you posted if I can get a campaign going, Matt. I love regular and recurring games myself – I think we may have something here!
Joseph Madigan If you want to run a game let me know, would love to play for a change.
Joseph Madigan Here’s hoping! I may be able to convince another friend to play if we end up short a body.
If you have an open seat, i’d love to jump in. I’m on the same schedule. Kind of a noob. Listened to podcast game sessions and they sound awesome. Reading the rulebook now.
Hmm, no lack of players… I’m busy as hell this week (two DW sessions in a row on Weds/Thurs!) but perhaps next week we can do session 1. How does everyone feel about non-core playbooks (ex. artificer, mage, etc.)?
Next week works for us, just let us know a day or 3 in advance.
I have no issue with non-core classes; as a matter of fact, I have several (Hexblade, Binder) that I am keen on playing if allowed.
Sounds good to me; If a particular class interests you, let’s do it.
I’m good with whatever, for playbooks as long as the GM allows everyone to be equally useful it shouldn’t matter.
For reference!
the Hexblade: http://apocalypse-world.com/forums/index.php?topic=6456.0
the Binder: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B97VUsWnBKEtOFVMeTFSREtHOGM/edit?usp=sharing
Plenty of other choices even from the core classes if these are too rough or OP for the group’s liking.
The Hexblade is awesome. I could see that being really fun in an urban setting, or an unusual setting (airborne cities like Bioshock Infinite, or where sunlight is practically deadly so everyone lives in darkness, etc.). Lots of ways to make someone dead in an indirect way.
Hi! I would like to join 🙂
Well, I want in. I think I want to run a Barbarian. There is always something happening with a Barbarian =)
Sweet! The Barbarian never disappoints 🙂
Indeed! I just played a barbarian in a one-shot and it was a bucket of fun!
I’m tentatively signing my wife up for a Paladin or Wizard/Mage type. She’s newish to DW, but those classes have appealed to her historically.
Saturday or Thursday works best for me, but any day should be ok. I may be a few minutes late if traffic from work is bad.
Thursday also works for me
Starting after 9pm est, any day should work for me.
Any evening after 9pm works for us. Are we using #Roll20 (my preference) or Hangout? IIRC, there’s a Hangout app built into Roll20, though I’ve never used it.
I’ve never used Roll20, but I’m interested in learning it; let’s try that. My current group plays on Thursdays, and I’m fairly busy on weekends, so this will be a weekday game – probably Monday or Tuesday. No worries about being late/having to turn in early, I don’t mind short sessions! I find DW players can do alot of fun stuff in very little time 🙂
Given that DW is heavily narrative, #Roll20 (which already has DW character sheets with common roll macros) will be an easy pickup. It is, at its base level, totally free as well.
Matthew Everhart Are you still ‘recruiting’ for the ‘On-going Adventures of the Everharts’? If so – I’d like to be considered. I am trying to learn DW so I can game it with some friends – and the schedule you propose would be idea for me as well. Family obligations and all! Let me know! Thanks!
Honestly, Andrew Jackson, at this point your question should probably be directed to Joseph Madigan, as he’s kindly taken on the mantle of GM for us. I think there’s enough room, but I’d feel better letting the GM make the call.
I prefer 3 player games, I’m willing to go as high as 4. I can deal with more during a one-shot, but I find it hard to run a substantial game with too many people. Sorry 🙁
Joseph Madigan No worries! The next game then! Thanks guys – hope it goes well – please consider capturing a video or audio – I think Dungeon World games make the best Actual Plays!
Joseph Madigan, are we aiming for Monday, Tuesday or Other for the inaugural session?
Matthew Everhart, let’s shoot for next monday night, August 11th @ 9pm. I’ll be in in Indianapolis next Tuesday-Sunday (gencon!), so Monday is free and perfect to kick off a great week of gaming! Anyone here going to Gen Con?
Sounds great to me. GenCon is too far away for me to manage, but both the wife and I would love to go at some point! I’m sure you’ll have a grand time!
Awesome! Jeff Wells, does 8/11 @ 9pm work for you?
I think I can swing that, though it may run closer to 9:30PM that day. Depends on traffic.
How about you, Anthony Ciraolo? 9pm on Monday 8/11 work for you?
that works for me.
Just ran it by my wife Kelly, and she’s on board as well.
That’s four and we’re good to go. Prepare for Glory.
Just let me know which class to look at.
I think I’m going with the Dragon Mage. If that doesn’t work for you guys I also printed out a few of the base playbooks.
Are we doing this on roll20 or hangouts???
We’ll do hangouts tonight; I’ll be looking into Roll20 for Session 2.
What kind of tone do we want the game to have? I’m just trying to get some character stuff in mind and don’t want to throw off the feel.
Hmmm… let me email you something, so you’ll at least know where I stand…
Sounds good. I don’t want to have the wrong character idea for the game you want to run.
Like the feel… I love games and/or stories where cities/major locales are almost characters unto themselves, with deep secrets, quirks and personalities. I’m also a big fan of dangerous and mysterious magic, rather than Forgotten Realms magic ubiquity.
It’s also looking like Kelly may not make it back from her work travel in time to play tonight – I’m expecting an update from her within an hour or so… I’ll let you know ASAP
I’m on
We’ll be on in 15 or so
He should send an invite out once he sets it up
This would be my second game on hangouts so I’m fairly new to this. Hope I dont slow the game down. I hope he got my playbook, I think I just sent it.
I’ve never done a Hangout game before. I always have used Roll20
Yea, sent you invites
Awesome game guys. Had a lot of fun.
Great game. Grom needs to see about fixing his missing ear….
