Yeah! You're more than welcome, rey.

Turnip Head (if he wants to play) and Rey would round us out to six players. However, if anyone else is interested in playing let me know and I'll accommodate you as best I can. The ideal party is 6 players, but I can stretch it a bit if the demand is there.

We do try and have one game every weekend. The way I have organized everything we'll be able to play Saturday or Sunday, depending on peoples schedule that week. If it's absolutely impossible for someone to play one week, we usually have that session without them (with their approval). If more than one person can't play a particular week, we reschedule for the next week.

Hello Syndicate! Do you like to tell stories? Do you enjoy using your imagination and ingenuity to solve problems? Do you just want to swing a giant sword around and slay dragons? Well do I have good news for you!

For two years now I have been hosting tabletop games over IRC. We’ve played D&D, Fiasco, and Star Wars Edge of the Empire. And now we’re expanding to even more games. But I need you to make this possible. Our group is looking for two or more new players. I’m sure you have some questions, so let me cover the basics.

What is it that your group does, Aces?

We hang out and have fun playing tabletop role playing games over IRC with the help of the fantastic roll20.com software.

What’s a “tabletop role playing game”?

It’s a game that uses a set of basic rules and dice rolls to let a group of players and a game master tell a collaborative story. It could be a story about a band of heroes slaying an evil dragon, or hunting down a notorious space pirate. The only limit is our imagination.

OK, Spongebob. What’s a “Game Master”?

A game master, or gm, is the referee and narrator in the game. It’s their job to describe the world and arbitrate the rules. They also take on the role of anyone who isn’t a player character.

And you do all this in a chat room? How does that work?

Think of it like we’re all writing a book together, line by line. Roll20.com also has a lot of cool tools to help bring the game to life and make each session exciting and enjoyable.

So, what are we playing now? And when do we meet?

Over the next couple of months, we’ll be playing the following games.
1. Dragon Age RPG
2. Call of Cithulu
3. Stars Without Number
4. Star Wars Edge of the Empire
5. Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.

The first game on the list, Dragon Age, will be starting next Saturday, October 10th. But we’ll be meeting this Saturday to create characters and go over some of the basic rules. Game sessions are always at 1pm EST and last until 5pm EST. They will either be on Saturday or Sunday depending on how busy everyone is.
We need two new players, so if you’re interested or if you have any more questions, please feel free to send me a PM or post in here. And remember, play more games!
