The most ambitious PbP game ever! Gods help us lol.

I'm going to run a game of Kids on Brooms to test out the game. Looking for 3-5 players. Character and world building are highly collaborative as are the sessions themselves so players shoulder more work that typical games, just as a heads up. If you're interested leave a comment.

Popping in to highly recommend Nezzeraj as a GM. He wields a deft hand at allowing the players to explore while guiding the narrative forward.

I would like to see this narrative style in action as it scares me and I fear change :)

Count me in, please

Please count me in. try to do solo with this game for sometime
Jun 9, 2022 3:35 pm
I would like very much to give this a go as well, both because I think the system is intuitively elegant, and if collaborative worldbuilding is going to be a major part of this game that's very much something I'd enjoy for this genre.

Count me interested

I've been interested in this game for a while now, but haven't really studied its contents. I would be interested in joining in or at least reading along. Having been in several Potter-verse type games that all died rather quickly, I am somewhat gun-shy about getting too excited when I see offerings of a similar trope.

Oh dear, I didn't know this was a thing but I'm really stoked now. If there's still room, please count with my wand.

Wow, this got a lot more interest than I expected! Well I don't want to turn so many people away, and I've never done a split game, so I'm gonna be ambitious and try it! Because the setting is limited and the magical houses are natural groupings, I think we can run two groups of 4, in separate houses, but with the possibility of interacting and affecting each other. Maybe even a competition on who can solve the mystery first, a point system for the House Cup, etc. Lots of material for friendly rivalries. We'll do the world/school creation together, and then choose houses and divide it up along those lines. I'll start setting stuff up today and hopefully we can start creation this weekend.

I am interested in playing through this system. I got to start in a group a little while ago but the GM ghosted and the game stopped. I think I may be the 9th member so I'll put in my interest if there's a slot but I don't want to derail your plans or make anything too stressful for you.

Edit: On second glance, I just may be number 8. Yay!

Way to run with this, Nezz -- good luck and have fun!
Jun 10, 2022 6:55 am
Oh yes, please! I was in a game where the GM ghosted, but I love the system

My thoughts exactly.

If you don't have a character sheet template for kids on brooms, then you can get a copy of my character.
[ +- ] copy of my character from the GM ghosted game
OOC:
Is he placing an apple on the teacher's desk? NooooYesNooooo :D

Am I too late? It feels like I'm too late. Just let me know if I'm not, I'll be hedging my bets by screaming at the sky and doing that thing where it looks like you're milking an invisible cow, two birds with one stone that way.
Jun 10, 2022 7:24 am
Since there seems to be overwhelming interest in this and I just got into a Kids on Bikes game already before this, I'm happy to give my spot to someone else and just observe
Jun 10, 2022 12:24 pm
Lots of interest here! Gonna give up my spot and place myself at the end of queue. Have fun everyone!
Jun 10, 2022 1:49 pm
I wish some of my other games I post interest checks got this much interest! Haha. I'll sleep on it and decide what to do. In the meantime, I posted a character sheet in the sheet depository section. I was already working on it, but I did steal half of @runekyndig 's sheet lol. I'll post an update in the morning with some decision.

You use whatever you like :)

For the sake of record, I would also be interested in this game and think it would be a lot of fun. I'll look forward to hearing how it goes down the line and maybe see another interest post in the future.

The answer is simple: nezz should run four games, four groups of students at four schools!
Jun 10, 2022 6:33 pm
Nezz, why don't you dedicate the rest of your life to simply running an infinite number of Kids on Brooms games?
Jun 10, 2022 7:06 pm
If he does that I'll join. 🤣

Dibs on the fourth spot in the fifth game!
Jun 10, 2022 9:31 pm
A proper school has a few hundred students anyway, right?

I'd join in as student 327 if I'd have to.
Missed this notice. Then again, I am in quite a few games already.
Jun 10, 2022 9:51 pm
I might throw my hat into this ring as well if it's going to be a big thing and all LOL
Jun 10, 2022 10:46 pm
It's settled then, Nezz will be running GP's first 40-PC game as we all work towards competing in the World Wizard Decathlon (WWD)!
Jun 10, 2022 11:57 pm
Sounds like an excellent setup for several houses. Maybe even a Sub-GM/Co-GM as the head of each house. Nezz as the headmaster of course.

This is indeed the route the game will take. But not me as headmaster lol. KCC has kindly stepped up to take half the players. We are still hashing out the details, but currently this is what we've come up with:

We will make one large group and do worldbuilding collaboratively. There will be 4 houses, and KCC and I will each run 2. Whichever house you want to be in decides which group you'll be in. Hopefully it works out that we have 3-4 players in each house, but we may have to do some sort of selection process if one house is more popular or something like that.

The hardest part will be logistics so it's what we are currently discussing. A few ideas so far are keeping the groups separate and just creating a thread where the GMs will post short summaries of what happened in our groups and Combine those together to create a sort of narrative story everyone can follow along with. Maybe stylized like a school newspaper? My other idea is to break it down by class schedules and hours, and we would each take two classes and any players regardless of houses could post in the thread if they are enrolled in that class. Outside of class we will play the house headmasters as posts threads would be along house lines.

I'm also open to hearing any suggestions you all have. I'll try to get some of the game stuff set up this weekend.

I love the idea of getting to share classes with people that I wouldn't normally interact with and don't necessarily get to interact with all of the time, it adds so much to making the atmosphere of the game real. It does make for a bit of a logistical headache though.

Perhaps the outside of class roleplay that is handled by the house headmasters could be handled with the short summaries and make that a newspaper.

Signing up to a Nezzeraj game and then getting KCC as your GM is a bit like ordering Coke and being presented with Pepsi*





*or vice versa, depending on your taste.
Jun 11, 2022 1:53 am
I ...Don't....Mind.
Jun 11, 2022 2:01 am
Isn't it more like getting both mixed together?
Jun 11, 2022 3:08 am
I am getting very excited by the developments and can't wait to be a part of the experience.
Jun 11, 2022 3:12 am
If this doesn't require daily posts I would like to throw my name in as a potential player. If you're looking for super frequent posts, I'll respectfully bow out.
Jun 11, 2022 6:25 am
The floodgates have been opened. I decided at capping it at 12 players, as that's already an insane amount and 16 seemed just too much lol. I tried to make a mix of new and veteran players, sorry I couldn't take everyone. If you want to follow along the game is here.
