I'm running a Paranoia game, and am looking for two more players. For those that don't know, Paranoia is a more laid back game, which focuses on player backstabbing,the titular paranoia, and dark humor based around the setting's grim dystopian after-the-end future. For more information (especially regarding the theme of the game), here: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/TabletopGame/ParanoiaYou do not need to know the rules already in order to play-- they're easy to learn and the game is fast and loose with rules anyway, focusing on roleplaying instead. For those interested, we currently have Envoy and Ymmot and one other from outside the forum in it (assuming his internet connection survives), so it'll be a very friendly group (well, not in character friendly, if I do my job as GM right) and willing to help eachother (again, not in character) with the game. The first game will be on Friday, 7:00 PM central standard time (GMT-6). The game is roleplayed over Steam chat, so you will need a Steam account. Post here if you want to join, or if you have questions. |

Too bad SsgtDude isn't around. He loves that game.
I'd join, but I'm too busy thinking of ways to make all of you suffer horribly. And work. I meant work.

Thinking of ways to make people suffer miserably is my job, citizen.

I'm really looking forward to getting this game off the ground, the tone is just right...not too serious, kinda silly...and yet a good amount of tension sprinkled throughout.
I've had some good times with everyone in this group so far. Our d&d characters slayed and wizarded our way through many goblins and various other kinds of fantasy creatures, but now it is time to take our fight to the commies, traitors, and mutants.
But we have room for a few more!
Who among you is up for the challenge?
and...you know, has time to play these kinds of games and everything.

Oh man I miss this game!
I remember the day it hit the shelves for sale. Bought it and no one wanted to play the game with me.
Good times.
Unfortunately I have to pass.
I just came by to say the game IS a blast and very fun indeed.

Yeah, I was hoping the Friday game would allow Brits to play, but it honeslly probably doesn't help much as it's one AM Saturday for brits.

Oh, Friday 7pm -6 that would be 11 am Saturday for me. Can I put forward interest?
I haven't played it before but as you said it prior knowledge isn't required.

If you are willing to take people who don't rp all the time and you still want players I think I'd be free.

As long as you can make it every friday at the appointed time (which is 7PM central (GMT-6), or one AM saturday in the UK), and you aren't a jerkass, I'm willing to take you.

I don't think I'm a jerkass but if you are starting on the 25th I might be out of luck sinceI might actually have plans for once  |

Hey, I never said he was one. Only that it is a requirement! I don't think I'm a jerkass but if you are starting on the 25th I might be out of luck sinceI might actually have plans for once Mn, what I meant to say is that if you think you won't be able to regularly show up (IE every week, once a week on the appointed time) then I can't really have ya join. I've already had two people drop from the group in a previous game, and one person probably drop, leaving my starting group of five people with two (which is why I'm advertising in the first place). But if you think next friday (or for you, saturday at one AM) is just a one-time thing and you'll be able to show up every time after that, I can have you join the week after. It's a matter of you being sure you can show up regularly more than anything. |

I'm fairly certain I'll be able to make most or all sessions, should I PM you my Steam name?

Because Envoy had to drop for scheduling reasons, I now have a slot open here.

We have three reliable players now (ymmot, armstrong, emptyhat), but I would really like a fourth. Our current fourth and fifth are not reliable, either dropping off the radar or (to their credit) warning me that they cannot show up due to other obligations showing up suddenly.
Mostly, I just ask for people who can make it every week-- experience is unnecessary.

Yeah, scheduling is always a nightmare for RP's.
