The Elmwood

I need a role-call and an idea as to what people want to RP. Sound off!
Bring a friend.
-
I do still jump on from time to time...but i don't know if I'll be able to keep up with threads. I'm currently writing two books, I also run a book review blog of my own and I've just started playing ESO, so time is a little off... I would love to come back and play though, possibly the Shadowrun game I was in..
-
I'm here!
-
I'll do whatever it takes to get the Elmwood back up to her former glory.
-
You know I want to see Elmwood flourish. I've been here too long and been through too many of its changes to give up now. I can't say I really have anything in particular in mind that I want to play. I just enjoy the darkness we can explore here. Its hard getting that anywhere else. Too many people want everything so sunshiny or are too specific about things. I don't tend to really read much anymore either, so all my inspiration comes from little old me. I am going to try and get the word out about things again.
-
Getting the word out is good.
Where are we going to take Michael and Alice's evenin, after the movie ends? He's going to be dead shortly and the day staff is just starting to stir....
-
Good question. Not sure. I think his choice of movies is going to have an odd impact on alice due to the nature of some of the characters. And well, he doesnt have a choice but to go down for the day. She however, routinely stays up for days before resting due to her own nature.
-
Oh God, she's going to end up with Nicky as a babysitter
-
Lol! That outta be funny. I'll post when i get back in town later today. Posting from my phone is tedious.
-
I survived the GreatPpurge of 2015!! WOO HOO!!
-
I'm here. As for what to see done played I'm not really sure as of yet what I want to sink my teeth into.
-
As long as you are willing to sink your teeth in, we'll make sure there is something to bite.
-
I'm here. :azn:
-
Great!
We have people. What do you want to RP?
-
I would love to see someone other than Bri or myself set up a game. It gets tedious being the GM all the time. But I would be up for shadow run, Department 7 stuff, VTM stuff or a home brew that someone wants to run. Honestly its been so long for me, I struggle currently with the threads that have opened and pretty much slowed down to a crawl. I think between the left over people we have it wouldn't be that hard for someone to run a thread that 4 players can get into. I'd like to see something with some action all the threads are pretty much sit around and talk and do nothing. Theres not really any goals that have been set up to accomplish or drive ppl to work together. Is there anyone set to the task of trying their hand at a game to run one. I for one would relish the idea of someone saying sure Im game let me try this or that.
-
Hmm, honestly.. I do have a couple ideas that I think I may be able to work together something with, I will just need a few days and perhaps some willing ears to bounce ideas off of. I admin on another rp board so I have had a bit more experience with guiding stories than I had before, but that being said, I have to also say that I still consider myself a novice at that type of thing.
Moral of the story is- I will endeavor to bring the same sort of expressiveness I have with my characters into a setting and story that we may be able to use.
-
I am here to bounce ideas off. My ears are ready. Bend away.
-
Hmm.. so one idea is a story surrounding a small, newly formed kingdom in a fantasy setting much like d&d or pathfinder.
Another surrounds some airship pirates in a world where people live on masses of land floating in the sky and a poisonous sea lurks below. Its technically also a bit fantasy type, but can also be worked as something a bit more modern or almost steampunkish.
I'm working on more ideas, but if either of those sound interesting, please let me know and I can try and flesh out some stuff.
-
They both sound equally intriguing and ripe for some derring do!
-
Ok, let me work out some details. After all, I have to at least have more than a basic setting to work with.
-
That does help. I wait with baited breath.
-
still around when RL is not kicking me in the ass... been super busy with the hubby's medical issues but can squeeze in some time to play :angel: I am up for anything really... I just want to get back into posting on a regular (or semi - regular) basis.... would love to keep Department 7, Shadowrun, Anita Blake and Bloodlines going.... I could always try to get my home brew going again with a time line jump that brings everyone together and start them all out on the adventure... but something new might be good as well :tongue:
-
I'm still working on those ideas, just so you know I haven't forgotten. hopefully i'll have something a bit more solid for you soon.
-
Okay, time to make some decisions.
Department 7 is staying.
Anita Blake - if it stays, what changes need to be made? All one type? (human, vampire, shifter) Something needs to change. I need to know what.
Shadowrun hasn't moved in years. I can restart it if I can get 3+ players. Alternately I can run solo adventures.
Bloodlines: Same thing. This was Dale's baby and her absence was keenly felt.
-
I think the major problem with the Anita Blake game is the overly diverse amount of species. It work in the novels because they all have the "glue" that holds them together; which is Anita herself. We don't have that pivotal character that all the others are drawn to, so scaling back the races might be the best for now.
I would be interested in a Shadowrun, as I have more of an understanding of it and if you don't mind me using the 4th ed books to do the character build :azn:
-
I like the idea about having the characters in anita blake all being tied to one thing, like having them work for the same company or something like that. it will help draw them all together, without having to destrpy the diversity that we have of races. I like the idea of seeing how they all interact.
As for shadowrun, I'm not sure about that. I've played some 4th ed, and I like the character creation for that, but I think it would just depend.
-
Let me see....
My e-mail is shadowphile@hotmail.com and it was created to send messages to other players and the GM in a game. Guess which one? I started with 1st edition Shadowrun, so I'm definitely a fan. It's also possible that those of us who are fans of the system can take turns running RP scenarios.
What do we want as the common thread for Anita Blake?
-
We can do something like a corp run by preternaturals, that helps the lycanthropes and vamps and others. Or have it be something along the lines of the supernatural advisory board you have going with father s and have it be federally sanctioned...monsters hunting the monsters.
-
Due to some serious BS on an other site, I will be bringing over an outerspace type dealio here. This also means that I will be bringnig in new folks (hopefully...at LEAST three)
I am going to work on getting all the info, character sheets and general assorted nonsense over today, so please have a look and see if you're interested. All of my lovely Elmwoodian pals are most welcome to join, as we are all used to, there will be character sheet to fill in and have reviewed by myself and an other GM.
I am going to make up the boards and there will be a handful of threads in various parts of the ship running at the same time and I will also be setting up a space just for the naughty stiffs....oo-er.
I think that's about it, if you have any questions, queries or just want to hassle me for shits and giggles, drop me a PM or say something rad in here.
Cheers me hearties!
Tinker aka The Monkey (and like a gazillion other names over time)
-
I can't wait to get a char made for your game Tinker... loved Firefly and miss it immensely. I have an idea for a char but need you to finish posting all the info to see if it will work. I would like to play the ships engineer unless that is an NPC position.
-
Excellent! I'm stoked you're excited Goose! This game has had a real load of blood, sweat and tears poured into it by my wonderful Co-GM, Joel, he did all the hard graft. I was really just a sounding board to get excited about ideas and the work horse that moved everything over. I'll be putting up an offical announcement thread and of course a welcome thread for all the new folkswe are pulling in!
So YES!! Everyone go an have a look, see what you think and if youhave any further questions of queries DO NOT hesitate to PM me!
HURRAY!
-
Sounds awesome. As always new blood is welcome. I'll just pop up and clear the porn/sales bots out of the application list.
-
Guys, sorry I dropped out of sight there for a bit. I was working on ideas and such and then got sucked into the not so wonderful world of family emergency. My boyfriend/fiancé (its complicated) 's father had a stroke a few days ago and we have been back and forth to the hospital since then. He was sent home yesterday, but he has a bit of therapy coming. luckily, it did not affect his motor skills, but it did affect his speech and short term memory, so we are all stepping up to help.
I will still be a bit busy, but I will be able to work on my board ideas again, so hopefully in a couple days I can bring something new to the table.
love,
D
-
As always, Real Life comes first. Take your time.
We eagerly await what you will bring to the site. I wish your almost father in law a speedy and complete recovery.
-
Yeah hope he feels better soon!
I am not here, and I most definitely did not make a character in teh space
-
Good to see you aren't here and aren't participating
-
As always, I will continue to stay the course
-
I am new but here!
-
I am currently working on the details of two ideas that I will be bringing to the board for play shortly. Please continue to be patient as things are still very busy for me right now with rl stuffs. Thank you all for the well wishes. He is back home but has a lot of therapy ahead.

If you need a hand, just sing out.
