Recruiting for Online, Google Hangouts Based Game, I've never tried it before, but I want to give it a shot! Options

[Speed Wraith]

We are currently locked up for recruitment!

I’m looking for between 4 and 6 players, and things may be locked up at this point. Since this is an experiment for me, this will be a traditional-ish campaign, based in Seattle. As a result more or less traditional roles will be needed for the team. Characters should be thought of as competent runners who are up-and-coming. Anything from an official 4E book is fair game, but I ask that players avoid the more exotic races (especially infected). Those races/infected are not prohibited, I just find that a dietary requirement is distracting to players, and some exotic races can have trouble blending/fitting in. I don’t generally crack down too hard on players, but vampirism is always about the blood (or flesh), and I will not ignore such requirements. Additionally, I will award a small amount of karma, which can be spent prior to the game starting using the normal rules, to any player that gives me a few paragraphs of history/background/explanation of Qualities.

If you’re interested or have any questions/suggestions chime in here for now.

We will use the JMH standard for character creation using karmagen, so 1k karma, 625 attribute cap, metatype cost is equal to BP cost and attributes are 5* for cost.

I’m currently thinking about sessions about four hours long, every other Saturday. I’m thinking 2pm EDT for a start time. With luck, and assuming I can get a chance to review characters soonish, we can try to have our first session on the 25th of August. Since characters are being finalized at this time, and I've been bogged down with administrative tasks and learning to use this new technology, I'm bumping the official start to August 1st. I will be hosting a Hangout on the 25th anyway for a short time just so we can have a meet 'n greet and make sure that we can figure out the technology a little better. This won't be a four-hour gaming session so much as a 30-60 minute session so we know what we're doing when we go live.

Players will need to have a Google email account to allow access to Hangouts and Docs/Drive. Send me a PM with your gmail address and I’ll begin building a group contact list, then distribute it to everyone. Feel free to create a new account if you want to retain privacy or otherwise keep this account separate from others (I’m planning on using one of my alternate accounts because my own Drive space has been filling up fast lately).

Once you have a gmail account, follow this link to the Tabletop Forge application’s home page. Scroll down and you’ll find a section titled, “How do I use Tabletop Forge?” Click on the "g+ Hangout" button and it will launch Hangout, install any required plugins, and add the app to your Hangout apps list.
