To satisfy my (perhaps endless?) lust for roleplay, I'm thinking about starting up a sci-fi play by e-mail game, and was wondering if anyone was interested.
The setting would be my long lost Lost Horizons (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?26496.post) setting.
The way I'm thinking it right now, you'll take the roles of a crew, down on their luck and looking for a break. Races are open, and if you want to make a new one, by all means run it by me. I'm also, unless the majority want otherwise, going to go freeform on this. I want it to build up the info on this setting, and since they'll be switching editions, which will probably have repercussions into the d20 future setting (I HOPE SO), there's no point in me making out a bunch of crunch that'll never be used.
Anyone up for it?
E-mail? are there better ways or is this on purpose. Like, for instance, may I recommend www.rpol.net?
Yeah I was looking at that... I dunno, I guess I'm asking two questions;
one, is there enough interest among you guys for this, and
two, what method do you prefer? RPoL is cool in that it does have quite alot of features.
I'm definitely interested. I've never actually used RPoL, but I'll check it out.
How does play-by-email work? Do you get a bunch of responses in, then post an update online, or what?
play by email is similar to play-by-post. Instead of using a forum, you get a string of replies being sent back and forth. For instance, I would send out an email to everyone playing, then another person sends out a reply, again to everyone, and so on.
[poof]
I'd recommend Gmail if you go that route, or anything that groups emails by conversation.
[/unpoof]
Yeah Gmail is good for dat. I would really prefer Rpol, though.
Gragly. Post above was me, Atlantis didn't logoff.
RPoL it is. Once I get how to do it sorted out, we'll begin. Link will be in this thread.

There it is. Mention that you're a CBGer, and you automatically get in.
So there is no "publicness" to a play-by-email, I take it?
No, there isn't. But we decided not to use that, so the point is moot.
d'oh, okay :) So it's a PbP now, basically?
yep, just not hosted here.
YOu guys are more than welcome to play, though. In fact, I'd prefer it.
Ishy, come join us man!
ill join
C'mon everyone, join in!
Yeah, we need more than two!
hey im having a bit of a problem with the RPoL setup and such. how do i reply to pm's in it?
More people I say!!!!
Come on, I promise we don't bite, and we only need two more people!
All we need is a pilot! C'mon, Pilot's the most fun position of all, you get to DRIVE THE SHIP!
I'll play a pilot. Don't have anything more than that right now, but I'll work on it :P
Maybe a Hologram, if I can integrate myself with the computer systems.
i think your a bit late for pilot. im pretty sure ravenspath has that now.
Oh, I didn't see that in the thread. Well, I'm still interested, so if there's a space, let me know.
We've still got open position for a medic/science dude. Or you could play someone else, who just doesn't have a set position.

Sorry Psychotic, we discussed it in the Tavern and not in the thread. My bad, should have posted it here too.
i know.. you could play the cook!
So who is playing what? If I may ask.
Oh God, I don't even know... It shows the character name...
Sound off you louts!
and, we've officially begun!
The loveable rogue/captain Meldric Gorfyddyd(Modeled after Hans Solo, I've always wanted to play a character like him.)! Also, SG, on the forums, the OOC Chat thread is locked. Be there a reason for that?
I'm prepping a Medical Officer...I've called the spot! :P
Should be fixed now, the locking, I mean.
and WE"RE PLAYING!
and that's perfect Mr.Barber man, I'll take down the 'recruiting' bit on the site then.
Character sent on the other site.
The colder-than-an-artificial 1st Officer Brek hereby reporting for duty.
The hotshot pilot Raven who loves adventure and exploring who happens to be about 10 years old thanks to be an artificial.
