Where is everyone?

Re: Play per post RPG

A free, genre-agnostic, and pretty minimal system I like to use is FUDGE: http://www.fudgerpg.com FATE is a FUDGE derivative but both systems would work as they rely more on story than crunchy numbers. It also allows for more player control over the world. The thing that could make Fate appealing i...

Re: Play per post RPG

Yeah, d20 isn’t the best for this kind of game. Werewolf works very well but I don’t have the manual so I could be a player but not a GM.

Re: dealing with the realities of magic

High magic obviously causes a lot of other problems - and positives - but from a world-design POV these seem to be some of the key ones.

Re:  Mac Users 

We're all very excited for the software and getting to use it, but let's talk about the Mac side of it. :D It'll be coming later, and most users on here are Windows users, but some of us (or at least me) are purely OSX users.
