That would sorely tempt me to break the no more games promise I made myself.

Any thoughts about a PA game?

(my crazed, tired little nugget)

i believe we are supposed to respond,  either yea or nay correct?

if so I fall in the nay column, don't get me wrong i love hot zombie chicks as much as the next guy, but I need a dose of an invulnerable flying pick up buildings character in a bad way. 

oh. 

I was crazed and beyond tired last night.  My apologies. 

I think a PA game would be interesting indeed and a welcome addition to the site.

I would likely not apply, personally.  I'm kind of holding out for a Space Opera, Western or Desolation game.

I am curious about the tone of the PA game though.  I mean...in some situations, I could see a PA game being a gold mine for character development.  I mean, that's serious, hard core end of the world type stuff.  But some of the example names struck me as a bit lighter that I would imagine a PA game to be.  But I'm not overly familiar with any of them.

I think the most important thing is that it be something that you're really into.  If you're passionate about the idea, and give me enough time, between the site and outsider recruting, I bet we can find you the players.

I just reread the examples.  The Stand was one of my favorite movies.  I loved that movie.  I've just never played in a PA game. 

Could be like any of these:

I loved "Dies the Fire" though I didn't bother with the sequels. (I'm interested in people dealing with the aftermath of the disaster, and not so much the low tech battles that occupy the latter books. Just a personal preference. Same reason I loved "Island in the Sea of Time" by the same author, but didn't care for those sequels either.)

"The Stand" is probably my favorite Stephen King novel, just ahead of "Firestarter". I like for precisely the reason that so many people apparently don't--the way it veers midway between a 'standard' post-apocalyptic novel of survival in a nearly empty world to an overt battle between the forces of good and evil, complete with the hand of god intervening....

"Shaun of the Dead" was very funny.

A PA game sounds like fun. But, alas, I'm hard pressed to spare the time and creative energy for the games I'm already in these days, what with trying to write for publication now that I'm un...uh, I mean, SELF-employed....

"The Stand" is my favorite Stephen King novel.

I'm honestly ambivalent. My instinctive impulse to join a game is tempered by the realization that I am reaching my threshold (I'm playing in three other games besides the ones I'm in here, and that's not counting my F2F time) and an uncertainty about the campaign theme.

I have a reluctance to play in "gloom-and-doom" type campaigns because no-win scenarios just don't appeal to me. It's a main reason Call of Cthulhu never called to me as a game.

If the campaign is something closer to The Morrow Project, where the theme is rebuilding and exploration, I could get behind it. But if it comes down to "eke out what's left of your life as you watch everything around you crumble into ruin," er, no thanks, I get enough of that in RL.

Bottom line, put me down as a tentative no, depending on what kind of twist you're planning to take on the theme.

I *loved* Call of Cthulhu. What a blast.

Unfortunately, Im about at my limit, as far as games go right now. CZ and DG (hosted at http://rpg-fusion.com/ ) take up a lot of my creative mojo, and the bit part in TCQ is about topping off my tank, what is left after all that, is mulling over a concept of my own.

Sorry.

PLEASE PLESASE PLESASE someone run a Call of Cthulhu game or similar!

I'm more into creating my own interesting worlds, but I might run a Dark Ages: Cthulu game....

I really admire people that can and do create their own game setting.  Personally, I don't have the...oomf to do that, so prefer a preexisting setting.  :)  ...and even then, I struggle with things like family trees and creating a rich cast of NPCs.

I think that Cozeroth and ICONS are the only two games that we have currently with an original setting, but I might be wrong on that.  CZ has put a lot of the mythos and geography up, whereas with ICONS it's important for it to remain a mystery. 

*cough* Slainte Mhath *cough*.  'Cos I bought that setting straight off the shelf...

Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. 

I meant worlds...when I said settings.  ...and kind of don't include anternate earths/realities as new creative worlds.

Do shoot me at any time with your virtual gun when I fail to give you the R*E*S*P*E*C*T that you deserve. 

Tabula Rasa is also one of our original game world ideas :)
