GURPS GM in the house?

[FusionKnight]

Is anybody interested in GMing a GURPS play by post game? I used to play tabletop games back in high school, but haven't had any friends since who are interested in that kind of thing. I'm wondering if anybody here might be interested in willing to run a game using the GURPS rule set. Pleeeeeeeeeease?

Could you post more information ?

-how do you intend it should work with play by post ?

- What is Gurps?

(if it is some sort of rpg, then perhaps what kind of scenarios you might like to run)

I'm not a GM, so I have no idea how to run a game. But I remember being a player was a lot of fun, and I really want to do it again.

GURPS is the "Generic Universal Role Playing System". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurps) It's an RPG system similar to DnD, for example, but generic so that it can be used in pretty much any setting (futuristic, modern, fantasy, superhero, whatever).

As for the kind of scenario that sounds cool to me, I'm a fan of the slightly futuristic, dystopian, noir, kind of setting.

Play-by-post is like it sounds. Instead of players verbally describing their actions, the do so via forum post. There are various tools to help with this (I guess) like dice rollers etc. I'm not really experienced though; I'm hoping someone here is a bona fide GM.

If this happens, I'm in.

I'd very potentially be interested if that magical GM shows up. This, of course, depends on the stipulations on posting and such. I'm most active at night, though I can occasionally sneak a quick post in at work and can be bothered to post during the day on weekends if I have a reason.

Yes alright. I might also be interested if a GM shows up.
No about the play by post thing, I wasn't very clear what I meant, I can see that.
My point is that when roleplaying you need activity. As we are on a forum it only comes off as natural that we are not always and active at the same time. Therefore what I was trying to do was to raise a point towards the system we are using (play by post) . Will it be running in phases of 24 hours (random time)
so that we can make sure all will have a saying in what is going on and be involved?
If it is a thread that is just running onward with no limits, stops or phases, then the game won't be working at all.

Again, I'm not a GM either, but I also remember having good times playing GURPS. If some GM pops in, I'm also in.

I've never actually played a PbP game, but as far as scheduling, I believe each player responds to the thread in their own time. Of course, players can agree on certain guidelines (like post at least 3 times a week, or whatever) to keep the game moving.

I'd hate to see what we all make as characters. XD

INTP world would be weird enough... but INTP fantasy world?



Not to say we shouldn't do it... Heh heh heh...

I would be interested in joining.

Well, crap. Am I just going to have to learn to GM? :/
