Dumpshock Forums _ General Gaming _ White Wolf PbP Games

Anyone know a forum that hosts White Wolf forum games, like the games we have here on this board? I am particularly looking for mage and vampire games, or crossover games including mage and vampire characters, though any World of Darkness game will do. Anyone know where I can find these?

there's some at http://www.shadowland.org, but play tends to be pretty sluggish due to lack of interest.

If you're interested, I'm working towards a live chat Mage game, sometime in the future.

Yeah, I'm interested. Would I need to DL a program to take part in the chat?

If you do not mind a totally freeform style of play (i.e. no ST) then White Wolf's website has a chat server devoted to roleplaying the WoD.

I'm not sure, but propably. We'd either be using IRC (if'n I ken finds a server what has a ST system dice roller thingermajig), or OpenRPG, the former of which can run on several different programs, all very small, the latter of which is a program unto itself, and is still fairly small. I want to do this right...

I think the last time I played SR online it was using AIM's 2d6 dice roller, which is just horrid, and the last time I tried doing Mage it fell through...and the last time I did D&D online, well, it was D&D .

I can't really play without a GM, especcially not a game with rules as vague as Mage. No one knows of a place with forum games?

Try www.playbyweb.com

AIM can roll up to 15 dice in one roll:

//roll-diceX-sidesY

where X = the number of dice to be rolled, and Y = the sides of the dice rolled (in this case, 6)

So, 10d6 -> //roll-dice10-sides6 and 7d10 -> //roll-dice7-sides10

http://www.rpol.net and http://www.playbyweb.com seem to be the two busiest play-by-post sites around. There's seldom much shortage of Vampire games at either, but rpol has a nicer setup and a "Players looking for GMs" section.

I believe http://nocturnis.net/forums/ also runs games on their forums sometimes, but you may have to be in the right place at the right time.

I knew of one game going on at one other site, but it seems to have finally ended.
