I've been wanting to join one, again since I've been hanging around here quite often now so just wanted to open a topic to let people know I'm interested having not done one before. (or at least i started one but fell off the boat.) So if anyone gets room in their game or starts one up let me know thanks!

Edit: Just post your request in the topic and someone will come along and see if you are wanting to DM and seeking players or visa versa!

Im not sure if you are allowed to bump either but I am glad you did. I would also be interested in a PBP game. I have never participated in one here but I have played some nation simulations.

You might be better off posting in the Cafe section, where the pbp games happen... in fact, I'll go ahead an move this there. And I'll go ahead and sticky it, as the official "players and DM's seeking players" thread.

So how does one go about becoming part of a game?

It's all a matter of talking to someone who's hosting a game and looking for players. There are not always open games, so try and scan this forum. When you find an opportunity, jump in for it and then commit! Some games actually start from the ground and go a long way!

Another way is to follow the ongoing games and apply with the DM for a possibility to join when some vacancy opens.

Sounds like good advice but i'm just reading the one I fell out of, and a few other one's just to keep boredom at bay. :D

I'm looking for another player to either take over playing a character that is not being played by a player any more, or you can make another character to replace him if you wanted to .

Ah, right the Back to Basics game is coming back online.
Man, I really love my PC in that one. It would be way cool if somebody took over Arnulf. :) I mean, what's not to love about Ravenloft's version of Bobby the Barbarian from the D&D cartoon?

A little background, in case anyone is interested...

In the FR/Raveloft crossover I ran (which was a follow-on to Raf's long running game: Staunton Bluffs) Rafael played an evil barbarian called 'Ironheart.' He was huge, scary, and ultraviolent. At one point in the game, he nearly killed a linkboy for the local militia by beating the kid against a cliff.

The boy was saved by another PC.

The boy is Arnulf; the kid who survived! His barbarian rage is the result of psychological trauma (or maybe brain damage) from the beating that almost killed him.

I play his teenage sister, Dalorna Fenswick. She's a necromancer-- a LG necromancer who makes cute zombie houseplants. Her motto is ''Better living through necromancy!"

Ewan, just curious. Why is the game called "Back to basics"? What's it about?

You'd have to ask the DM why it's called Back to Basics.

I'd be willing to give it a shot. I'd also read through the material to get to know the character if you need someone to take it over. Just would definately like to get my creative muscle going again.

Edit: Though I see Arjuna posted first and not sure their is room for two. xD
