Here I am coming, with the good news of me, and you hate it. You can think only of the bell and how much I have it, and you are never the goose. I will run around with my bell as much as I want and you will make despair.

System summary posted:

The central mechanic of the game is simple: for every action, a player describes what their character does and draws a card from their deck. The opposing party – the gamesmaster – draws a card of their own, and the side with the higher card wins. The building blocks of your character – your core, role, traits, proficiencies, foundations, scars and stories – can change the value of your card, and in combat, the suit of the card has a big impact on the effects of the attack.

The Unbound kickstarter recently closed, and I am the backer who pledged at the "WORLD BUILDERS" level:

quote:

With early access to the rules document, you and your group will have a month to build a world together. Adrian Stone will then illustrate your adventure in a movie poster-style, and we'll include the artwork (and a short write-up) in every copy of the book.

I intend this to be that campaign. My proposed genre is Space Fantasy: Spelljammer, Treasure Planet, Aether Sea, etc.

You will need:
  • A deck of ordinary playing cards and a tool with which to write on them
  • Willingness to join a voice chat (probably Google Hangouts or Discord, both of which have browser-based options)
  • To be able to get along with other players

I have only a month to do this thing, so it's important to make sure you will be able to make every session.

In your post, please give me:
  • one or two character archetypes you might like to play (like "i want to be space jack burton" or whatever)
  • which of the following time slots you can reliably make for the next four weeks: Tuesdays, 8pm to 11pm Eastern Daylight Time (GMT-4), Thursdays 8pm to 11pm EDT, or Saturdays 1pm to 4pm EDT
  • two keywords generated from this list by randomly drawing cards (on the honor system now!), plus one keyword chosen from the list in a post above yours
  • an email address where I can send you the early access document

Some keywords to start you out: Omens, Beasts

(Addendum: if you're interested in running a game of this, let me know and I can hook you up with the early access document too.)

Edit: pretty sure this is not happening. :(

I skimmed this and apparently somebody is making a system I tried to make a couple of years ago, only not an incohesive fever dream. I wish I saw the Kickstarter for this before now; I would definitely have jumped onboard.

Archetype: Wrongfully deposed meticulously planning aristocrat hellbent on revenge, gritty tough-as-nails veteran of space war trying to score enough money to leave and never come back
Timeslot: The only timeslot I can confidently lay claim to is Saturday.
Keywords: Demons, Beasts
Chosen: Ice
