RhinoDino1973 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Hi! I'm new to Runequest and I'm looking for an online game. I've also posted in Roll20 and FGU. I'm in PST. Wednesday and Thursday evenings are open. Saturdays and Sundays I have a little more flexibility. Reach out if you have a group that needs another player or if you'd like to start up something. Thank you for reading! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffilz Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I might have room in one of my RQ first edition games on Wednesdays at 8:00 PM Pacific Time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhinoDino1973 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 Hi, ffilz. Thanks for reaching out. 8pm start time may be too late for me. How long are your sessions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlearner Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Have you guys considered playing with Play by Post instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhinoDino1973 Posted August 9, 2021 Author Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have not considered Play by Post. I'm not sure how that works as I have little experience with that form of play. Do you have a Play by Post game with an opening, Godlearner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a site called RPOL.net which hosts such games. You need to create and account, but its totally free. You can search for games in their forums. I have seen RQ games there. The play by post has the advantage of the player not having to be online at eh same time, in fact a lot of times players and the GM are in vastly different time zones. The posting rate differs by game from multiple times a day to once a week. Its up to the GM to fix that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long are your sessions? 2 hours, sometimes running up to 30 minutes longer. Start time is so late to make sure kids are into bed by the time I start, and that I have at least a bit of time to get out of dad mode and into GM mode.

I did try running one there, but realized that running detailed combat in play by post was going to be tortuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking you wouldn't end until 12am or 1am which is waaay too late for me on a school night. I could do that timeframe. Well, let me know if you have an open spot and how you'd like to proceed. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't too late for some of my players, I have one on the East Coast and several in Central Time Zone. Part of the opening may be the East Coast player not being able to sustain the schedule now that he's graduated from college... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an issue with play-by-post, but it can be dealt with by asking for multiple rolls from players with statement of intent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
