Interest Check - Liminal RPG

Greetings! I'm new to Gamers Plane, but not new to gaming or PbP (or, PbF, if you prefer). I am looking to start up a new game to give the site a spin, and have most recently been bitten with the urban fantasy bug preferring a system published through Modiphius called Liminal. (There is a Quickstart at the link, and I have all of the books so I can share if people are curious.)

I have a background and setting already in progress, and could get something up and running if people might be interested. To see some of the ideas, you can visit a campaign site here.

In short, the hidden (liminal) world that exists alongside our own is threatened with exposure. Some who exist or know about this world say it is about time that they come into the open, others fear the change that might come about by such a revelation. What direction the campaign might take (stave off the revelation, survival in the world as it is, solving mysteries, or something else) will be entirely up to the characters.

So, I am interested to know if there are any possible takers for this before I put together a game here for it.

Thanks!

I just had a quick look at the game, and it looks very interesting.

The system is easy to manage and to tweak, and the setting is far less involved than something like World of Darkness. It is also very customizable.

Plus it’s set in England :D

I’ve not played world of darkness yet

Sounds about right.

I'd give it a spin if you get the players you need to launch -- not sure but the two previous just seemed to be making comments so not even sure if they were interested or just commenting ;)

Hahahahaha

I will add my serious interest for Liminal. I have a few supplements and what I've read looks really cool.

I'm deep into World of Darkness, but I don't assume that it does urban fantasy the best, and love trying new things.

I’m definitely interested btw

Having played in and run games in both systems, I will say that WoD has a lot of positives going for it, but simplicity is not one of them. Liminal brings things down to Earth, so to speak, and I believe it will work better in a PbP environment.

Since it seems there may be enough takers to give it a spin, I will start on setting a game up tomorrow (I'm at work today). I'll announce the links here when I get them finalized (tomorrow or Tuesday at the outside if all goes well). I'm spending today reading up on Gamers Plane and tinkering with it to get a feel for what I can do with it.

Feel free to check out the support site as I may well be adding more detail to that over the next couple of days as well.

I'm looking forward to giving the site a spin!

Now, if only this site would give me an email alert when new posts are made to a subscribed thread ... hmmm ...

Ah! Found out there WERE email replies - they were going to Spam! That has (hopefully) been corrected.

Outstanding! I'll send an invite when I have something set up!

Scabard looks pretty. I may need to explore that as a potential resource. If it's open to foreign scum like me.

I could jump in if numbers need made up!

I'm working on it today, so hopefully I will have something to link to here by this evening!

Cool I posted a request to join -- if you need help with setting up I can perhaps lend a hand -- I am a rather old hat at that kind of thing for PbP games

Greetings!

I have opened the game up, and am still working my way through the mechanics of the threads. I should have a Character Sheet template up by tonight, or, tomorrow. I also have a small flavor post I expect to post up once I have organized a few things.

I am learning the mechanics of the site and wholly intend to be able to start actual gameplay by the weekend if enough players are ready.

Okay can you accept my request to join so the game pops up in my games list -- otherwise I have to keep coming here to get to the game and also am not considered part of the game until you accept the request to join -- thanks

Same, I've also applied.

I have accepted 2 Join Requests thus far.

I am examining some other active game sites for ideas on how to structure my pages and will be creating subforums for Character Creation and other important rules (such as "X card") and any house rules.

More to come today ...

Thanks appreciated -- again would you like any help and/or suggestions on setup within this forum format?

Great! Looking forward to this.

Thanks!

I'm taking advantage of a (hopefully) slow day at work to read through some of the forums so graciously linked to at the Discord site so should have some ideas to peruse through. But! I will be open to suggestions as I open forums/subforums up as how to best organize and sort them, so please feel free to drop me a line with ideas or suggestions as I start organizing things over the next couple of days.

I'm interested to join if you don't mind babysitting a newbie.

I have recently tried PbP roleplay games on a site named ongoing worlds but nothing serious nothing that kicked of

However i'm not at all familiar with tabletop rpgs so this seems a little bit out of my league and i have no clue on how i got here really but hey why not take a leap of faith and see where i land.

I can write, at least I think I can. i enjoy writing short stories on my free time and i have a lot of it at the moment 

It might be difficult if you have zero experience with RPGs. While the system Liminal uses is not all that involved, understanding the interactions within an RPG - particularly a Play-by-post (PbP) game - might take some getting used to.

Maybe I can send you a link to monitor the game once we're rolling and you can decide if its something you'd like to give a spin later, and we can fit you in once you've had a chance to see what it's like?

Sure! that sounds like a good idea

I'll send you a link when I get things set up.

To ease use of your game cdwjava the main suggestion I have is to keep the initial area (MainForum) for the ChitChat thread (or whatever you want to call it) and the GameThread(s) -- put all informationals and character creation stuff in a SubForum titled accordingly as once the game is started these do not get used nearly as much -- I also create separate creation threads within the Character Creation subforum for all the players as this makes my job as a GM easier in the long run as it makes for checking back on something super easy.

Now it would be nice to move threads but I do not think that is possible at this time otherwise I would have everything pertinent to what is going on in the main forum and then as they are no longer needed there moved off into a subform.

You can move threads at any time. There's a "Quick Mod Actions" option below the last post on any given page in a thread. There, you can select "Move Thread" and pick where you want to put it.

Ah! Thanks for the info! That'll help, guys, thanks!

Awesome thanks bowlofspinach

I applied too. Didn’t realise the game was set up lol

I have accepted four players and opened up the Character Creation thread. We can take any character creation thoughts to it.
