Hey Jackers! Because there are people in this world with old computers, sometime Hangouts doesn't work for gaming. Additionally, there are people who live on the Eastern Coast of the USA! Imagine that! With that in mind, I'd like to start up a game online in text-based format using old-school consent based rules also known as Freeform Roleplaying. This will be run in a java based chatroom. I have absolutely no idea what kind of game people might want to play so let's talk it out and see what we can come up with. So far, lilappleblossom is in and I don't mind being an unofficial referee to get everyone in the swing of building a co-op game. I have this CRAZY idea that it might be fun to build a world for this game with Microscope... but I don't have it so we can talk through all that once we have a group. Or we could play in one of the Crucible of Realms worlds. Feel free to respond here or to reach out to me separately. Thanks guys!

YAY! (caps shouting) I was wondering if something might come out of the Jackerworld discussions and I think this is a great place to start. Apparently theres going to be Microscope Hangout soon with a bunch of game designers. And there's always that Jim Ryan otherdoc guy...count me in oh fellow "arabic themed world GM" I do realize that isn't probably one of my better descriptors. Found it.... World Builders Podcast

Added to my calendar. I have been on the fence about getting Microscope. I think just seeing how it work would push me over the edge. I know that Crone was like that for me. Thanks for sharing!

So it looks like it'll just be the three of us, which works just fine since this method of gaming really suits small groups best. People can always jump in later, too, if most interest is taken. I know that lilappleblossom is up for any type of game. D.T. Pints, do you have a preference?

Yeah...about that...I'm boat bound in :20 min (hopefully it will stay as calm out as it currently appears) so looks like I can't make either of my planned double bookings. Sorry my internet friends, this birthday weekend long activities of the wife's has been a tad bit frenetic. Some form of normalcy should return next weekend.

Depends on the time for Sunday. We're going to be doing pretty much all the non-essential stuff moving this weekend, but I'll definitely need a break in there somewhere. If no one has Microscope, I don't mind throwing down ten bucks for the PDF. I haven't had a chance to listen to the hangout they did yet. Might have to do that tomorrow during work. I'm am about 0% familiar with the way it works, so it should be a great adventure!

Oh, hey! (waves) Sorry, I've been in deadline hell for the last couple of months and didn't see that I was tagged in this thread. I read through Microscope a while back and I can recommend it as an interesting way of putting a world together, though from what I understand some folks can be thrown a bit by the mixture of RPG and non-RPG aspects (when you zoom in to a scene). So, as with all things, your mileage may vary.
