A Blast From the Past

Hello everyone. This feels like a blast from the past—I haven’t been on a message board since the early ‘00s, which was also the last time I dabbled in play-by-post! Since then, I’ve mainly been playing in person, favoring horror games, primarily Call of Cthulhu (and Delta Green), Vampire: The Masquerade, Deadlands, and All Flesh Must Be Eaten. However, at my current age, while it seems I have more time than ever on my hands, it also seems harder than ever to get a game together in-person. And, as I’ve always had a fondness for writing—but never got my knack together enough to write a novel—play-by-post seems a good use of my newfound free time. I’m excited to start playing and running games and meeting others who love RPGs!

Hey MovieMan, welcome aboard!
Digging your choice of games, some of those show up frequently, especially CoC.

Always been curious to see how AFMBE ticks, I like the crazy zombie powers in the core book.

I'll likely add to the CoC pile, as its the game I know the best—I've run most of the major CoC campaigns over the years (Masks, Beyond the Mountains of Madness, Horror on the Orient Express, etc.).

AFMBE is really fun! Its a wild, dramatic game that I've always found very easy to run and play. I did get a little zombied-out around the time The Walking Dead debuted and haven't played AFMBE since then.

Welcome Aboard!
The play-by-forum format's been around a long time as a tried&true play style but I definitely recommend joining the GamersPlane DISCORD channel as well. We don't do play-by-DISCORD, by and large, but it's a great way to get to know the GamersPlane community!
