Welcome to Gaia! ::

In order to bring some life back into the guild, I thought I'd ask whether anyone is a) looking to join a campaign, b) would be interested in joining a particular type of campaign, c) would be interested in DMing, but doesn't feel like their abilities are needed, or d) really doesn't have time for this Gaia D&D stuff this summer.

That's a lot of letters, so let me break this down into categories.

a) If you want to join a campaign, post here. I'll throw something together if a couple've people are interested.

b) If you're looking for something specific, mention it when you post for 'a'. Survivial horror, tactical, political, evil, high-level, under-powered, aquatic, whatever.

c) Your abilities might be more in need than you think. Take a look at this thread from time to time. See if anyone's posted for 'a' or 'b'. Think about whether you have the time to run a campaign. If everything checks out, you've got a perfect DMing opportunity.

d) Let me know anyways. There are a lot of inactive members in this guild. It'd be nice to know which ones would post if they actually had a reason to.

That sounds really cool. I have no idea how to run one of those, but if enough people are interested in something like that, I could try scrounging for the books.

That would be really cool if you could find it. Especially if you wanted to DM.

I've been pretty busy lately. I did partially build two modules for a campaign, but I'm not terribly happy with either one. One is very combat-heavy, and a little bit off-scale. The other requires me to write out a ton of environmental effects, which I don't really want to do.

However, I have gotten in touch with a gaming circle that plays Inquisitor once a week. It's a combat/mission objective oriented role playing game from the Warhammer 40k universe. It's been pretty fun so far, and I was wondering if anyone a) is familiar with Warhammer 40k/Inquisitor, or b) has any thoughts on how to convert it to play on a forum.

Oh, the content's all available for free online, so feel free to check out Inquisitor

...that sounded like a shameless plug. It wasn't. Inquisitor definitely has its faults, but it's fun despite them.

I am not familiar with rp this way. I've played table top and in chat rooms.
I'm familiar with D&D, Advanced D&D and 2nd Ed. Haven't touched 3rd. I got tired of them re-writing character sheets and changing it around to get more money and not improve the game. I've also played some Palladium.
While I like to DM, I've got my hands full on that with a on line chat game.

that kinda remindes me of when my group played a resident evil based game. lol a demon sent us through a time warp and we were in racoon city and yeah just rambling here

I love you *glomp* you have restored my faith in the largest system no one ever plays, lol. I love Palladium books, and know most of their games, especially Rifts. I'm running the World's Largest Dungeon right now but if enough want to play a Palladium Books game I could come up with one for that too.

I have heard of Rifts. If you feel you're up to the stress of running two games, I would absolutely be willing to join.

hey, well if anyone ends up doing something with rifts I'd be up for it. Rifts is actually what I had messed around with before I got into D&D. I'm no expert, but I've had fun with it, and I'd be up for trying it. I even wrote a couple OCC's at one point...
