Howdy folks!

I have been thinking for a little while now about a quest series that is as close to a PnP style game as I can conceive.

Would there be much interest (unfortunately i'm addressing this question primarily to AEST evening, GMT morning and PST and EDT night-owl players) in a quest series run for characters that would be created especially for use in this series and would be played ONLY in this series for a period of about 3-4 months?? These players would have to go through the standard submission process (incorporating some details of background that I would provide to you beforehand) but COULD ONLY BE PLAYED IN THE SCHEDULED QUESTS, not outside in 'general play'. There would be no XP gained outside the quest, no gold, no items, etc. Your character would have to sit in your vault untouched until the next quest session. As I said, this series would run for approximately 3-4 months before the characters were 'released' into general play.

Does that sound interesting or would people prefer me to just run quests for the characters that you have in existence now that can be played whenever you want? If there is enough interest in this idea it would mean my more general quests might be once per fortnight rather than once per week with the alternate week spent on this other group.

Post here or PM me with your yay or nay thoughts.

Regards,
Pseudo

I'd be interested

I'm one of those EST Night owls, though it would also depend on the time of the quest, and how often. I MIGHT be willing to sacrifice one night's sleep a week if its a reasonable time in the AM.

you could also perhaps create a Thread for it, to keep everyone on the same page, or perhaps do the thing in posts. I've joined a number of PWs that have Forum RP and do quests via the forums...

Anyway, you got one person, Pseudo, looking forward to it

(anyone notice how many smilies there are? >.> )

Depending on exactly what the hours would be, I would like to participate in something new and challenging.

Could be interesting.

Why do you people give short answers and I spend time thinking of something long and creative.........

Oh hush and relish in the fact you get to deal with me! *evil laughter*

And the fact that no one takes me seriously :p

or.... Pseudo could hop a plane to the States and find a nice EST timezone to park himself in for a few months. Even CST would work!

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #12 on:** January 17, 2008, 08:54:10 AM »

I'd love to do this, but I'd need to know what time. I can't make your usual slot.

Serissa · « **Reply #13 on:** January 17, 2008, 09:03:53 AM »

Sounds fascinating! I'm no night-owl, but I think I could manage once every other week.

If it were on a tuesday/wednsday I am definitely in, I love the idea! I even have a character I recently created but have yet to use!

How bout GMT

ycleption · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2008, 11:50:40 AM »

Yeah... it does sound like a lot of fun, but it would have to be at pretty particular times for me to sacrifice the sleep on anything approaching a regular basis.

There are a few things that would be nice to allow play out of the quests though, such as weapon/armor customization...

Stephen_Zuckerman · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2008, 12:15:09 PM »

I've never really treated weapon/armor customization as a terribly IC thing. Not the actual act thereof, anyhow.

ShiffDrgnhrt · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2008, 01:31:09 PM »

Im sure Pseudo could port us a bunch of Customizers....

I already spoke to you about this, Matt, but I'll just say formally here that I'm interested. Just for the record!

Though I have no idea what it'll be like, never having played PnP ... first time for everything, right?
