Online RPG.... Again - Kersus - 08-03-2016
So, I'd like to start an online RPG adventure again.
I don't really care what system, but I would lean toward OSRIC Although that Black Hack RPG (http://the-black-hack.jehaisleprintemps.net/english/) might be fun to try. SCHWA is possible as well. Personally I'd prefer Lejendary Adventure but not everyone has easy access to the rules. Spellcraft & Swordplay are available for free... ish....
I would like to run it via Twitter (each player and myself would require a Twitter account dedicated to just the game) as it's an easy medium to quickly game. There's even a die roll mechanic and a way to include maps.
I was thinking of starting in September sometime. Perhaps pushing for at least posts once a week, but preferably more often as the medium makes it easy for quick replies and dice rolls.
I might be able to get zombiehunter, archergirl, and perhaps dwfan9 to join in, but only one of the three games and knows twitter, another games but is new to technology, and the last is a twitter expert but very new to gaming. I would need at least four players to make it worth giving a go, preferably 5 or 6 so that when someone dispapears because they hate my style, we can keep going. Anyhow, just a thought now.

Looking closer at a modified Moldvay and doing baasic dungeon crawls to start. SCHWA is still on my mind. The other systems I considered are out because their dice mechanics wouldn't work smoothly.
I really like the concept of Platemail 27 in it's simplicity. So I guess i've narrowed it down to 3. Once down to 1, I have to teach Twitter to some, and the game to others.
Hope to acquire more players once we get going. 5 would be a good number.

Heavily leaning toward Platemail 27 to start as converting D&D adventures is a snap and it's simple for people new to gaming while working well with the Twitter dice roller. Also can keep a character on a small post it.
If I do sci-fi, I guess it has to be Traveller 1e.
Then again, Chill might be fun again.
I think that ultimately, I know AD&D best, so leaning in that direction is easier to get this started.
