Player call for an online RPG
So I've been mullinig organizing an RPG online. I've got plenty of games I wanna play in the future, and I can't seriously expect my friends and reality to cater to this in regular groups easily. It's enough work getting one D&D group together after all! After some time thinking about it, and looking at what I've got I've settled that I'd like to try running World of Darkness: Innocents. Right now it's likely to just be a one or two session game, more likely one. As I've never played or ran a Storyteller game before! So I'll have to ask for my friend's mercy and pity in the matter as I'm likely to make mistakes for a while as anyone can.
We'll be playing online with Gametable as our main interface, though we won't be using as much of it as we could. It provides some minimal stat tracking, a board, minis for it, and a chat area with dice roller. We'll only be using the chat area and dice roller. In the future other games would likely use the board itself; however that doesn't seem really necessary with a Storyteller type game. If the players would like, I wouldn't mind using a voice chat system either. Most likely either Teamspeak or Ventrilo. Gametable is a java app so it'll run on just about any OS. The other two have apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux in one way or another I believe so also pretty covered.
As for books. If you can't get one and wanna play, get up with me and we can probably work something out. Unlike most WoD games, Innocents is a standalone book. It does NOT need the core WoD book. The book isn't too pricey online luckily. $18 for a PDF from DriveThruRPG or $23 from Amazon in dead tree form. I really do think it's a nice read overall if you like horror and the idea of kids coping and (hopefully) overcoming it!
If you're interested just get in touch via IM/message/email/smoke signal. I'd like at least four players for the one shot. If it works out I'd be interested in doing more with the same game in the future though possibly a fresh cast for a different more long term scenario.
