Grey Hat

Messed up trying to edit the OP. I’ll repeat it again. Is the Colymar tribe matrilineal, patrilineal or multilineal?

Specifically the Hiording clan

New to Pendragon (but not to Runequest) and I’m eagerly looking for a play by post game. Can anybody here know where I might look?

A free and near as powerful solution (with a name ya have to hide from mom) is GIMP, Graphic Image Manipulation Program. Mind you, if you are saying you are not sure of your comfort level for involvement neither of these ideas are “easy”. Which is also true of using tag formatting PbF sites, for that matter..

Yeah, downloaded it this morning though I haven't had time to fool with it.  I'll be tinkering with the program over the next few days.  I'm thankful you guys have been patient and helpful with me.

Inspired by what Jajagappa was saying, couldn't you just mock up a map in photoshop and upload it as an image to Discord at the start of each round? You could save each player icon as a separate layer so you can move them around without having to completely redraw the map each round. I do think Discord would be a good choice if you could do something like that; it's quick, easier on the eyes and more compact than a forum imo, and you can have separate channels to store character sheets and ooc discussion and whatnot.

I don't have Photoshop but this is something I'm going to look into so I appreciate your input.  I've always been a 'theater of the mind' GM. I'm still not sure just how much involvement I want to deal with.

I’ve been tinkering with Discord but there doesn’t seem to be a way to show maps. Maybe Roll20 might be better? For a text based PbP game?

What if I didn’t pass?

Then I would like to join. But I would only do so under certain conditions as I stated in my OP.

If it came down to starting my own game, I would probably use a PbP platform like Myth Weaver's. It has a built in dice roller. Using PbP allows me time to look up the rules without holding up the game vs in real time. My RL schedule does not allow me much flexibility to schedule all the ducks in a row for one day/night.

But honestly, being this new to RQ, I'd rather let someone else take the reins. So I'll wait to see what Bill the Barbarian can offer before I do anything.

Ooh I'd be down for an RQC PbF game. I may not be a complete newcomer but I haven't given any of the modules a terribly thorough read. Oh, and PbP means pretty much the same thing as PbF nowadays.

Responding to the OP, I don't know of any ongoing ones, but it could be fun to start one yourself. The biggest problem I could see with using RQG is combat; with as involved of a system as it is, fights could last for days! Especially if your players aren't consistently online. I'd suggest cutting out some parts of combat, maybe even subbing in something simpler like Pendragon's system. I know there's several successful PbPs using HQG, but one with RQG would be awesome.

If Bill the Barbarian passes on his, I'd be up to running a RCQ game. I'd need some leeway and some player help but yeah, I can run something not published. Maybe start out with a tribal rite of manhood and then go from there. I could use some suggestions where to start as Glotantha is pretty damn big.  That is, if I'm going to run something.

Newbie to Runequest though I haven’t been able to play the game. I did buy the new Runequest Glorantha book and it started the itch again. Does anyone here know of any PbP games? Any help would be most appreciated!

Amended: I don’t do the online gaming sites like Roll20 as I’m deaf and my free time in RL is fluid.
