[Recruitment] A one in a million - discworld game

Hello everyone! I have decided to GM an adventure in the system I wrote a few years back. The system is a completely unofficial rule system made for adventuring in the Discworld universe, as imagined by Sir Terry Pratchett. You can find the rules here: https://jocher-symbolic-systems.itch.io/discworld-a-one-in-a-million-chance-at-adventure

We will also be using the supplements that I've made for the game expanding on the magic rules, the GM rules, and the Character build guides. They are all linked from the main project page.

TONE: What I want to do is have a session zero chat where we collectively define the tone and the focus of the upcoming adventure. I want you as a player to be cocreating the starting position with me.

The character creation: You will be able to play any type of humanoid that exists in the Discworld universe, besides elves. "Elves are terrific. They beget terror."

Game Duration and Post Frequency: As the GM I commit to posting at least once per day. As players, you would be expected to post reactions at least every other day in order to be considered still playing. So not every prompt needs to be responded to by everyone. However I would like to know that people are reading each day. The duration of the game would be discussed in the "session zero" subforum.

Do I have to know Discworld by heart to play? The game is open to anyone, but it could be good to have some base knowledge about the Discworld universe; having read a book, having seen a movie, or played an adventure game are all sufficient. I am personally (without feeling like I am tooting my own horn) very well-read and in tune with the material, so I can introduce during the game to some degree.

Application process: The game is first come first served. If you wanna play, I wanna play.

I follow a strict policy of not accepting any hate speech or bigotry. I am a queer anarchist myself, and I want to have a "table" that is inclusive in all ways.

I love diskworld, but I want to read over your rules before I make any commitment

Do you consider to make your game public? I don't have time to play in it, but would love to read about your advantures. Also to get to know your system.

That sounds like a very reasonable position! Hope that you like it so we get to play!

I am open to it but I think that will be up to the group to decide once we have an idea of what who and what the game will be.

I too would love to follow along; if you could make it public or add me as a non-playing player, I would appreciate it. I am curious to learn how gameplay in Discworld would work. I love the books and have even played the MUD on occasion long ago.

Oh damn! I love the whole vibe of your system and it's been in my collection for agles, though sadly I've yet to bring it to the table.

I am well up for taking part! ((Caveat: I did once play The Long Man on stage in Edinburgh and I understand if that disqualifies me.))

I'll invite you!

The game is now public :)

After thinking about it, I'd like to join the game! I still have to read through most of the game system, but it looks really good!

You have an invite!

i like to sign up, just because I have read all the discworld-books at least 2 times haha.
I know nothing about your system, but will read it in time!

Quick question, can I just download the first file and find the rules there? Cause I don't want to download the adventure to eventually spoil myself :o

Happy to have you on board.
You can download all supplements and rules that you'll find on my itch, but with the caveat that "the Murder of Dommick Kolchak" is an adventure, just not the one we will be playing here.

Thanks for making the game public! Following already. Who knows, maybe someday I will have knowledge and time to join you? :))

There is still an open spot in the game! Step right up!

I'll give this a go. It has been a while since I read any Pratchett (I got up to Snuff, and got that book, but don't think I got round to reading it yet, so that is at least 12 years! (wow, don't tell my family)).

As usual, I can play anything, so --if accepted-- I will take a look at what we have and see if there is anything we need or anything anyone wants to add to the game and do that.

I'll invite you, we are still in character creation. So just read up on what is aleeady in the threads and shape ypur character. :)

All seats have now been filled!
