The former DM of this has unfortunately had real life sneak up on him, so had to stop running this game. If you're interested in running a Stars Without Number game, we could use a new DM! Aside from a few player changes the details from his last post are largely unchanged, but are:
Game: Game Thread / OOC Thread
System: Stars Without Number (the core edition is free)
Players: Currently 4. If you've seen Burn Notice, RoboCop, Deadpool, and what I can only assume is a weird cross between Tony Hawk and Minority Report, you'll understand the theme of our party.
Format: PbP

The game thread is currently 14 pages deep, but we've just finished the second arc, and have essentially stopped a global coup from taking place. It's as decent a transition point as any for someone new to take the reins. Stars Without Number is definitely a bit of a sandbox game so you'd probably need to read the thread to date to get an idea for what we've accomplished and its potential ramifications. Normally I'd just let the game die but we have fairly active players and a decent narrative going so far, so it'd be nice to keep it going if we can. Maybe join #stolen on SynIRC if you're potentially interested in running and want to talk to a few of the players. Otherwise I'll order the flowers for the funeral.

TLDR: Need two new players (or one new player and one new DM).

After the game changed hands a few times I ended up running this, and the party is in need of two replacement PC's. The group is about to land on a planet where they will be assigned a government minder due to their complete inability to lie to anyone's face, so now is as good a time as any to drop in a few new bodies. The original game thread under the first DM is about fourteen pages long and contains some good backstory, though at this point it wouldn't be required reading for new players. The current game thread is where new people would be dropping in, and a fair amount of information on the planet you'd be starting off on is contained in the last half dozen posts or so.

Ideally looking for people who can also idle in IRC so that we can speed up decision-making (#stolen on SynIRC), as I'm trying to update about twice a week. That said, if by some miracle there actually is someone who wants to DM this I remain interested in playing in the setting so that would be workable too.

Game: The Sword of the Bastard Elf - The RPG
System: home made thing I'm calling Two-Fisted Fantasy (2FF). Thread includes current rulebook and is an introductory scenario so hopefully it's nothing too daunting.
Players: 3 or 4. If there are already four people in the game sign up to be next in line since someone will probably die.
Description: Set in a medieval dump called Bilgeton. Four talentless chumps team up to pull off an unbelievably risky caper - busting a powerful priest out of the Bilgeton hoosegow. It's a pretty low-brow comedy, should be fun.

Waiting on players at the moment. There's a bit of reading involved and an unfamiliar system so might be a few days before we take off.

In the Kingdoms of Dreams, all is right with the world—except for one thing. Even though the Law has triumphed over the powers of Chaos, banishing idolatry and superstition in favor of science and reason, humanity is still threatened by a dangerous, otherworldly force. The Realm of Nightmares invades the physical world, sending incursions in the form of dungeon to undermine and destroy society."

Game: Dread Crypt of Skogenby
System: Torchbearer
Format: Discord (https://discord.gg/cck5MJK) (text, no voice)
Players: 3-5 Full, but you can hop on the waitlist or just observe if you like
Description:

Horror stalks the ill-fated village of Skogenby. Just a few days past, some youths clearing a new field for planting managed to move a stubborn boulder only to reveal an ancient rune-covered dolmen that framed a narrow tunnel into the earth. Jora, the bravest among them, dared to crawl through the narrow passage and disappeared down the tunnel, only to return a short time later. From the far side of the narrow passage she excitedly told her friends a tale of moldering crypts rich in grave goods, tossing out a set of fat, heavy silver arm rings as proof. But as she was crawling from the tunnel, she was abruptly pulled back into the crypt with a bloodcurdling scream.

Jora’s companions fled as quickly as their legs would carry them. But horror followed them, for now some dread thing haunts the village at night, slaying but leaving no marks save a look of terror.

The people of Skogenby are desperate. Perhaps you can help them appease the ancient evil that stalks them. Or perhaps the lure of treasure is stronger. Whatever your goal, the Dread Crypt of Skogenby awaits.
