I never noticed there was an actual forum dedicated to organizing online games. Huh. So, I'm restarting a long-running forum-based, play-by-post Vampire: the Masquerade sandbox game and I'm looking for players. The game uses the 20th Anniversary Edition (V20) of the V:tM rules and is set in an alternate, Camarilla-controlled Los Angeles. It's setup where each individual board on the forum represents a regular Kindred congregation point in Los Angeles, and within those forums players can RP with other players, with NPCs, get involved with (or ignore) GM-spawned plots, or generate their own plots to further their own ends. Officially the game starts on 8/14, but if all the players get their characters built, submitted, and approved before then, we'll start early. And players with approved sheets are already starting to RP in the forums, getting used to things (and other characters) before the game starts. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, swing by the forums at www.labyfire.org or email me (storyteller at labyfire dot org). While experience with V20 is not required, it will help greatly if you have some experience with any version of V:tM (or other White Wolf/Onyx Path games). But if you don't, don't let that stop you; we can always use more players and I'm willing to teach. Thanks!

If labia fire persists, see your gynecologist.

Is this meant as a twenty-four/seven thing, where people just wander around and post at all hours?
Also, are the forums Tapatalk enabled?

Is this meant as a twenty-four/seven thing, where people just wander around and post at all hours? Yup, that's one of the benefits of a play-by-post game; you can play the game when you can play the game. Of course, that means you have to wait for other players you're RPing with... but in the end it all works out. Also, are the forums Tapatalk enabled? It's a proboards-hosted forum, just like this one. So if this one is tapatalk enabled, LA by Fire will be as well. (That said, sbloyd said he was having problems with tapatalk access yesterday. Unfortunately, I can't see any settings to enable or disable tapatalk. Stu Venable, did you have to do anything special for tapatalk access here?)

It is more of a 10/7 thing, given current sunset and sunrise times in SoCal. Seriously though, Probie Tim has started some NPC vignettes, and the soft launch has begun, so if you are curious as to how it is intended to run, stop by and take a look. As far as Tapatalk goes, for some reason it is throwing an error on my Android phone... But on my iPad it is working just fine.

...the best part about having Tapatalk on is getting alerts when someone adds to a thread.

Right, right, in-character there's no daytime activity in the game, 'cuz all the characters have an extreme allergic reaction to sunlight. Out-of-character, though, the game is available for posting 24/7; if you post at 12:00 noon on 8/5, it's assumed that the post happens sometime after sunset on 8/5.

Tapatalk is an add on that needs to be installed. So, it isn't necessarily available just because a board is phpbb. For instance, my board is a phpbb board, but I haven't gotten around to installing the files so it won't work with Tapatalk.

It's proboards, which is their own proprietary thing, hosted on proboards' own servers. According to this page - tapatalk.com/download_proboards.php - there is no plug-in for proboards. It automatically syncs.

Ah, yes. That's a different story. Proboards seems to have either merged or partnered with Tapatalk. So, yes. You don't need the plug in for that.
Edit: not sure how I read phpbb from Proboards. Mea Culpa. ^.^

I tried to sign up and it said my account needs to be approved. I'm using my handle from here to make it easy to spot me. If I understand correctly I'll be able to change it later?
My character will have to wait until later as I am at work and don't have access to my book.
