Hello, all!
I'm wondering if anyone wants to join a game set in the Old West, sort of. The setting is inspired by "Dogs in the Vineyard" from Lumpley Games, but I'm open to variation, and we'll be using a homebrew system I'm working on. The big thing I want to keep is the concept of a ragtag crew going on missions through the settlements, sent out by the local religious leaders (whether the adventurers are cool with it or not).
Big things to know:
*I'll be open to system feedback during this process.
*This is meant to be a story-heavy game.
*Supernatural powers do exist in this world, and religion (or lack thereof) is a driving force.
*I would love to build this to the point where different crews go on different missions (in different threads), meaning if we get more than 4 interested parties, I'm game.
*Posting would be expected once per week once the story gets rolling.
As for myself, I've been gaming half my life and I love telling stories. I'm a teacher by trade, so I get that schedules can be weird (including mine), but I also think this could be fun. I tried a game of "Dogs in the Vineyard" about a year ago, and the story was fantastic, but life got in the way, and there are WAY too many dice in that system for it to work in a PBP setting.
If you need more info, let me know, and if you'd be interested, let me know that, too! I'll set up a game if there are 4 people in. Thanks, all!
