Start Here - What we do Jun 30, 2010 11:41:58 GMT -6

Since I have the free time and the desire, I figure I'd create some type of introduction thread for what we do here.

My basic introduction can be found here:

jolietgaming.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=iy&action=display&thread=304

I am the one that GMs 95% of the time and creator of this forum.

There are a total of 4 games that are primarily games with the people here.

Our first game is Star Wars Saga -
jolietgaming.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=sw
All the house rules, important NPCs, and back stories are all in that section. I’ve recorded our games for a while now so if anyone wanted to read what happened in the past the option is there.

In between games we like to keep the story fresh with an optional forum game:
jolietgaming.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=swfrp

This game is primarily run live on alternating Sundays at my home. The plan has been that I am going to finish up my current campaign then hand over the GM role to Dan. The main reason behind that is so I can focus on our other game Marvel Super Heroes.

Marvel Super Heroes.

This game is primarily run live on alternating Sundays at my home. The plan has been that I am going to finish up my current campaign of Star Wars so I can focus fully on Marvel Super Heroes.

Our third game as it stands is a forum only Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition game run by Bob. If Bob wishes to run the game off the forums he is always welcome. That can be found here:
jolietgaming.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=lg

The fourth major game that is played by anyone here is a game (Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition) that is run by Dan’s brother Rich that meets alternating Saturday nights. I have no control over any aspect of the game.

Other notable games would include a system designed by me for Transformers, maybe some board games, Star Wars Minis, and possibly a one shot of old DnD.

I always try and plan our next games with a post in this thread:

When I am a guest at a convention I am there to entertain people and add to the fun they have at the event. thus, unless the game session is advertised as one where the objective is to kill the PCs--and I've done a few of those--I try to keep PCs alive. Of course if a player doesn't want to have his character survive, the natural selection process of the game environment will take over.

The forum RP games are for everyone. It is helpful (and recommended) to create characters by the rules but as long as you give me a general idea about what you want I play it should be good.

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

- Updated 3/11/2011 -

Since things have changed since the original message I figure I will write up update.

Our main game is Star Wars Saga -

The other threads on the forums are just things we've talked about and put some effort into. The only other game that is being run that doesn't have a big forum presence is Bob's D&D 4e game.

That can be found here:

Private vs Public.

I am making the forums public again.

As of right now there is no interest in playing the other games listed on the forums. But that doesn't mean that those games are dead. If anyone is interested in a game we have run then speak up. If you want to host your game here, then speak up. If are looking for players then speak up. This forum isn't intended to be only for our star wars game it is supposed to be for all area gamers.

I also changed the name.
