A Prayer in Darkness hit the one year mark today, somehow. Been a hell of a crazy ride so far, probably the best game I've ever been in, so I thought the anniversary deserved a shout out. Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... Here's hoping the second year's as good as the first!

That thread made me want to give PbP a go. Everyone in it, past and present, is awesome.

I just want to give a shout-out to all the players in my thread, who rescued it from stagnation and did so with flying colors. They really stepped up with some great posts and roleplaying. Thanks, guys!

^ The main pbp channel on synirc is #badwrongfun these days, most people hang out either in there or in #partyhard, the old haunt.exuma posted:That thread made me want to give PbP a go. Everyone in it, past and present, is awesome. That's nice to hear!  The AW stormlands game is my first real venture into any kind of PbP, and I would say AW is a nice, simple and fun system to start off with! I recommend it!

It's really awesome that Zero Suit Ridley's L5R game(s) are growing into a full alternative universe, with games by him and Mors Rattus. Just a matter of time until the Trout Clan is a reality.

I really needed a laugh today. Diqnol's posting restriction in the App Store CYOR game absolutely gave me that in spades. My personal favorites so far: Diqnol posted:Are you a Deku Nut? Because you're stunning me. Diqnol posted:Your smile is like Expelliarmus. Simple but disarming. Diqnol posted:Don't worry 'bout no deadline, girl, I'll be voting you all night long Seriously, anyone else having a lovely day is strongly advised to check out Diqnol's post history in that game

I really hope someone does Survivor again. I have really enjoyed reading it and am kicking myself for not signing up.

Abyssals Double Feature has been a pretty wild ride thus far. There's action starting pretty early on, and mysteries get satisfactory answers but open up into more mysteries pretty regularly. I would think that from an outsider's perspective the pacing is better than in most game threads, and the most promising reveals are yet to come. I highly recommend it to anyone who's a fan of the Exalted setting or games involving antiheroes winding up awkwardly being the good guys.

In searching the forum, I see there were two now-defunct Apocalypse World games set on a junked starship flotilla. They went offline a few months ago...too soon to start up an AW game with a similar setting?

Have the PCs loot the corpses of the previous groups. That'll learn 'em.

Ettin posted:Have the PCs loot the corpses of the previous groups. There is a solo module that suggests doing just this, marking in the book where your guy died so a future guy can loot his poo poo. I was thinking of making it into a CYOA for a LP crossover.

I'm having a great time reading the heavily modded Battlestar Galactica 2.0: I wouldn't trust me, either. They changed Chief's OPG to this: Scrap Project -- Action: Once per game, destroy any number of Raptors and/or damaged Vipers to draw twice that many Skill Cards. These may come from outside your Skill Set. I really hope Chief turns out to be a cylon, and scraps every single raptor in the fleet for fun.

I've read so many BSG games on this forum - I've read them for years - and I've never seen a player pull what Rosalin's pulling.

I think I missed something in the most recent exchange. Tyrol's brig attempt came up 5, and then someone was allowed to roll up a LEA-3 card? Could someone point out what rules were used here?

Could someone point out what rules were used here? I believe they used "Declare Emergency" which, if a crisis fails by a single point, can be used to add one and make it a pass. I may be wrong about the specifics though.

The other BSG game running right now is also excellent. They've been crushed by Cylon attack after Cylon attack, and they're barely into the game. They're about to turn over control of several of their most powerful tokens to a single player who, if it turns out is a Cylon, will be hilarious to watch.
