Over a decade by about three months. I think the last time we did a word count in 2013 or thereabouts it was two War and Peaces. And I have reread the drat thing at least three times taking notes and finding new poo poo every drat time that I missed before. Foreshadowing is Gaist's middle name.

Happy Decade, Blackbird Dreamers. I love you all~

I can't say the end is in sight, but I can at least conceive of an end.

Idly browsing and clicking to the end of this thread led me to this game a couple weeks ago and now I'm on page 240. I can only assume that since it is mid-2009 in real time that the posting frequently must slow down a lot relatively soon, since I still have 9 years but only ~300 pages left to cover? It's all amazing so far, probably the most enjoyable new stuff I have read all year.

Disappointed that the Scum and Villany game didn't get off the ground. Will have to see what else I can suggest that people want o play.

That is a shame. I didn’t see that there was an FFG Star Wars recruiting, otherwise I would have jumped at the chance. I really want to try out the system.

Starfinder's pretty maligned around here but I'm not going to lie, I'd love some D&D but in space. (gently caress WotC for not releasing a modern Spelljammer adaptation)

if they had any sense at all they'd coincide the release of 5e spelljammer with a weatherlight throwback magic set and make a billion nerd dollars

They've been spreading out the Weatherlight nostalgia. Dominaria last year featuring the ship, the descendants of the crew and a couple of the less mortal OGs, new cards for the Weatherlight era dead guys and their enemies in the latest Commander, etc.

I remember reading a mafia thread a year+ ago that was about a race of lizard people holding a deathball competition. It had really good writing and backstories for all the roles. Anyone know where I could find it?

votefinder.org has all of the mafia games with links to the threads, which is probably easier than diving through old threads

Anyone here know what became of Tricky Dick Nixon? He was all set to host what seemed like a kickass game of Blades in the Dark but he hasn't posted anything in the Discord since August. Did he die in a mob hit, or get trapped in an isekai anime, or what?

Yeah, TDN has vanished before. I don't know any details, but I think he has some instability with housing? I just hope he's safe.

Is the Blackbird Dreamer thread backed up anywhere? Cause I'm only halfway through and RIP SA.

EDIT or any long running thread, really.
EDIT2: I threw together some Python code that loops through all the pages and saves them out. It's just the HTML so it looks ugly, but it gets all the posts.

Is there a TG Discord? If it's in the stickied threads I missed it. I really like PbP but this joint has been the only place that doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out.

Could anyone recommend me a good, old, finished, play-by-post thread to check out? I'm more interested in a game with a ruleset and a party of PCs, than a CYOA. Thanks in advance!

Might be a bit of a stretch, but my game Break Down That Gate was somewhere in the middle, an attempt to write a Black Company/Malazan Book of the Fallen type game with a group of 20-40 people (varied throughout the game). Actually finished with an epilogue and everything, and fully illustrated if that's your jam.

I'm looking for some newbie games, D&D 4/5, lancer, other stuff. Mostly just looking to learn to play games and have good times. Haven't had luck finding cool folks locally.

This thread is supposedly about commenting on going games, so I'm not sure if folks will see your post.

I suggest starting by checking the TG Game Recruitment Megathread, see if anyone is recruiting for the kind of game you want right now. There's also the Goons Seeking Games: TG Livegame Contact Thread, which is for anyone looking for a game - more typically, either a physical in-person game local to them, or sometimes an online/discord livegame, but I think it'd be fine to post there that you're seeking a PbP game if that's what you want.
