OK. If you want to talk about an already running RPG, ask questions or put out ideas for a new RPG, need someone to DM or more members, put it here.
That's right, any RPG on Dakka, be it War of Attrition, better dead than zed or Pelvichammer...
Get talking role players of Dakka!

**SagesStone**

Obivously except ones that have rules forbiding them from talking about it outside the game until it's completed

Current Mafia one I'm running seems to be doing alright at the moment. There's only five of them left, but two are the bad guys (they already know anyway). Pretty much it's in the same place most of them end up at this point. It's near the end now, but still pretty even and can go either way still.

Another I've had in mind since a bit before starting this one up would be Gretchin themed. Bad guys would be Squigs and pretty much no one would know who is on their team. Pretty basic with only the Squigs able to night kill as the only role in it. But, of course to show the stupidity of Squigs they wouldn't know who the other Squigs are. Pretty much get 3 Squigs and about 9 Gretchin and it's going to be pretty fun. Might run it later if there's a gap for it after the one Thor has just started up. Generally no one wants to do more than one at a time. But, if enough want to join in, then I'll run it at the same time.

I will do anything for players so anyone who wants to join The Demise of Salem... I am DMing and the link is in my sig

**Darkvoidof40k**

Why's the link still in your sig if noone can join anymore?

I woulda joined, but I was on holiday/didn't read it 'til too late.

FYI anyone who cares; GOWB (Going out with a Bang) will have updates..later.. perhaps tonight if I can be bothered.

**Golden Eyed Scout**

Though my unknown apocalypse rpg hasn't gotten an update recently, I plan on writing a player even sooner or later for it.
SO if anybodies currently in the rpg, stay tuned.

**Scrazza**

Oke so I got a few new ideas for a new RPG. And I am asking you if it's good and worth starting this RPG.

The idea: It all takes part in the wild west. At the end of the civil war. Historical facts, but mixed with grim fantasy. Satanic worshipping is getting more popular. Daemons are to be summoned. Dead confederate and Union soldiers awakened to life by a sorcerous lunatic. Those of you who join, will play as an outlaw (yes an outlaw, no not a zombie soldier or daemon or law keeper, AN OUTLAW!). you must choose your religion. A faithful christian outlaw hunting for corruption and satanic influences, Or be a follower of Satan, practicing daemon worshipping, just slaughtering innocents for the fun of it and such.

Posses of bounty hunters will try to hunt you down, trying to bring you to justice, or just for the money. wether as a misunderstood hero hunting for corruption, or as a mad man.

as a player you will have access to historical weapons and any fantasized weapons you come up with aiding you purging the witch, daemon, satanic murderer, etc, or anything that helps you practicing the dark arts. Like silver bullets to kill summoned daemons etc. (No,there are not going to be vampires or werewolfs.)

don't get it wrong, If you play as a dark, evil satanic worshipper, you are not possesed by a daemon like in whfb or 40k. you just practice the dark arts. and no, noboday can be a daemon.

I got this Idea after reading 2 comic books from a series called Billy Wild, and just searching the web for any suitable artwork or possible avatars.

so let me know what you think.

**FITZZ**

@ Scrazza.

That idea sounds extremely cool.

I've been very involved in the "Better dead than Zed" Rp,but if I can find the time,I'd definitely want to get in on yours.

**Cadet_Commissar_Ludd**

OK, I'm going now...
The Demise of Salem is now officially paused till a later date (next week) But when I get back, I will introduce some NPC leaders of various factions, till I return, happy hunting!

**Darkvoidof40k**

Scrazz, don't go down the path of the Void. It is a dark and horrible path of no return that involves being involved in too many RPs. Ithinks that three or four Rps is enough for anyone really, and I've broken that rule too many times as it is.. plus it doesn't really sound like my kinda RP.. I prefer RPs that take place in an already established environment, like 40k for example. Feel free to do it, but if you do, I'd advise you do it after one or more of the RPs you're already in has cleared up.

Agreed about becoming involved in too many RPs,but,how is the American west not an established environment?

If his RP is set in the American west,post Civil War,then any relevant information concerning that time period (weapons/land areas/etc) is readily available,all that would be necessary is "filling in the blanks" concerning characters/adversary's...and there is plenty of horror/occult material to use as inspiration for that.

Maybe it's just me...but I really like the idea of playing a religious zealot cowboy packing two Colt peacemakers and a bible.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Well, uh.. damn you Fitzz. /goes of to evil lair to think of a response

...I shall be waiting my friend.

**Scrazza**

Ha! glad you wanna join FITZZ. I am currently in 2 RPGs now. Pirates In space and Going out with a bang (Darkvoid 's one) I joined up another, but I don't think that one is even going to start.

Now I need to think a bit more about the story, and most important of all, a name for my new RPG. I am going to play in my new RPG as well. I already made up a good character for myself. I will write general and player events too. (don't worry it is not going to be in favor of my character)

But I could use some help on the background. 1 of my RPG ( which is now dead) started off without a good story, it was just about killing each other.

**FITZZ**

@ Scrazza

For a name I'd go with something like "Badlands",sort of conjures up images of desolate plains and ghost towns.

As for help in background,I'll happily help as time permits,shoot me a PM concerning anything specific you may want to know/add and I'll do my best to help with any research you may need.

...And I'm already thinking up ideas for a character.

**Scrazza**

thanks for offering me help!

Badlands sounds nice. I do need some help concerning the town where most of the action takes place. still looking for a name for the town. I already have a map drawn in my head of that town, with all places for possible events, like the saloon, the hotel, the church and the gunshop.

**Scrazza**

^
anyways, I am starting this one up this evening, so stay tuned. The name will be " the badlands." [RPG].

I welcome you all to join. the ideal number will be between 4 and 8 players, so ..... Join!

You can count me in Scrazza,I'll write up my character once you get the thread up and running.

**Scrazza**

aha player number 1! the RPG is now running.

The badlands.

**Scrazza**

oh Why don't you join Darkvoid? spread the word! The badlands is now running, and is looking for players!

**Darkvoidof40k**

ohgodddddddd.
I can't resist the urge to purge,
to burn and maim,
with sword and flame.

Hey, I managed to rhyme. Don't think my English teacher would approve though.

I'll join on friday if I don't get chance today.

**Scrazza**

^
great!

I like that little poem of yours. It's catchy, I might steal it for in English class.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Here's a RP I created a few days ago:

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/313731.page

It shouldn't be very long - provided anyone joins up - although if they don't, I'm not too bothered. It just seemed like a fun idea at the time. (Now, I'm like "mehh") But we'll see, depending on biters or no.

**Darkvoidof40k**

Just to say - WoA: 2 will be starting at the end of this week!

**Darkvoidof40k**

Y'know, it's funny. Ever since I began to carve out my mark in this hallowed section of the Dakka community, I've noticed that there was a massive increase in the number of actual Roleplaying games. Anyway, just thought I'd list up a fair few; for memories, for graves, for gravediggers.. or Threadnomancers.. damn, how many of these brilliant stories fell foul to page six death? Too many.

Ludd has been inactive for the better part of quite awhile.

Several months, I think.
