Re: WtA - 2E

Page and the others have been stripped of their positions in the Caern and were replaced with a powerful Glass Walker pack, who know nothing of the comings and goings of the interesting land of Manitou Springs. What will happen now that there are some strange new people in the leadership roles? Did the elder Glass Walkers send in a crew to clean up and reset things, or are they actually here to help?

Now is as always a great time to join, there's almost enough new people for another Pack, if we get a couple more it definitely could happen, then there would be 3, one with powerful Adrens and Arthros, another with Fosterns, and a new one with Cliaths, as it should be.

Re: WtA - 2E

We're about to wrap up a major storyline (I think?), so now is a great time to put in a new character! There's always room for more people, and we love taking in interesting and odd character ideas. Ever had a weird concept that you couldn't justify before? Try your luck here!

Re: WtA - 2E

Storylines are still wrapping up, although nobody knows what's going on in town, or why, or who is responsible, so it's anyone's best guess. All three mayors of the surrounding towns have been murdered, in one way or another, and whoever is responsible has not taken credit for it yet.

Now is as good a time as any to apply for one of, if not the, longest running Old World of Darkness game on rPol, with over 150,000 posts! There's always room for odd concepts or things that other Storytellers wouldn't let you play, like a Bastet or Mokole.

Re: WtA - 2E

Still looking for more players! Mages, Garou, Bastet, Mokole, pretty much anything from the World of Darkness that can reasonably be found in the United States other than Vampires mostly because of the whole time issue. There's plenty of excitement to be had, and now is as good a time as any to join.

Re: WtA - 2E

Crazy things are still happening in the town of Manitou Springs, and a (literal) shakeup of epic proportions is about to unfold. It seems like downtown might just end up getting leveled, whether or not anyone can do anything about it is yet to be seen of course.

New players are always welcome, and after this storyline wraps up, will have a much bigger hand in the overall story of the game as the older players are being shipped off to a different area so they aren't always the shining knights coming in and rescuing the newer people. Expect a game fraught with danger, but filled to the brim with excitement and immersive stories that make you question everything you thought you knew about anything.

Re: WtA - 2E

We are currently working on establishing a new power structure in Manitou Springs, with two newer Packs, one made up almost entirely of new, or at least younger, Garou, or other Fera if you'd like to try your hand at something else. There is a new big cat enclosure coming to town, or rather, an existing one that is being repurposed by a high ranking Bastet, that is going to house a large number of the Feline shifters, so get in now if you'd like to be one of Seline's children instead.

Still a great time to apply! New packs are being formed, new power vacuums are being created, so someone has to fill them in! Might as well be you! Have a weird idea that other people won't let you run? It might be possible here!

Re: WtA - 2E

With all the experienced, powerful players out of town, it's gone for the young to take over and make their mark. Will the local supernaturals figure out why their powers aren't working right, or will they just assume it's the doing of the Garou, who seem to be unaffected?

Looking for more new players! If you're unfamiliar with the setting, don't worry, we're more than happy to teach you how to get started! Get in early to a new storyline in what is quite possibly the longest running oWoD game on Rpol!

Re: WtA - 2E

Downtime is just wrapping up for most everyone, now is a great time to get involved in one of, if not the, longest running oWoD games on rPol! There's a brand new Pack filled with young Garou and a Mokole, would be a good fit for just about anything. Let us know and we can probably make it work!

Re: WtA - 2E

As always, a great time to get into the action! There is an odd spirit roaming around, apparently having negative effects on non-Gaians, and nobody really knows what it is or why it's here! Is this a good thing, or will it lead to a war the Fera can't win?

Re: WtA - 2E

Wow, I have never seen a game with that high a post count. Thats impressive you've managed to keep it going for so long. Its also a little daunting ad it implies fsr older characters that are aware of important details that a new player and PC simply can't know or learn before finding themselves in a heap of trouble.

Yet I am intrigued. I read you will take anything from Old World of Darkness except vampires. Does that still apply? How did you resolve the differences between Gifts, Magik and Disciplines, etc? Or  how each WOD setting has its own secret masters of the qorld that supposedly all inhabit the same world, yet never come into contact or confliction in the game books?

And excuse me please if I wasn't supposed to reply here. I didn't want to send an unsolicited RMAIL and risk the wrath of the Admins.

Re: WtA - 2E

In reply to Toc Rat (msg # 372):

Hey no problem with the response, I tend not to check back here until the week's up as I can't bump it more often than that but there's no harm done! Don't worry, HouseJohnson (the actual GM, I just run the game ad) does a really good job of giving new players introductions and storylines that fit their skill level without feeling useless. Typically, any conflicting magical or mystical abilities are treated like countermagic, you roll against their successes and it can essentially negate another effect, depending on what is going on of course. And yes, most anything can be discussed, depending on what you want, something might be able to be worked out. As far as game-changingly powerful entities, most of them exist as far as we know, but they very rarely have any influence on the world, although I'm sure if we get too powerful, something big and ancient might come out of the shadows to screw with us.

Any further questions can always be asked in an RTJ! We're always willing to discuss things with new players.

Re: WtA - 2E

In reply to Toc Rat (msg # 372):

Also to expand on what Grizzly said, I am currently petitioning to join this game. Currently, I have submitted various wild concepts and am in the process of discussing things with housejohnson. I get the impression he is careful about crazy stuff to approve, makes sure you know what you are getting into with some concepts (as some factions and types are highly hunted here and there), but hasn't given me any hard no's yet (though I was aware before hand on somethings they had plenty of and were not allowed, so that helped).

But they do allow quite a bit of things, they have mages, bastet, a sorcerer, etc. I am submitting some rather wild ideas myself (but not too wild. no mage garou vampire hybrids), and they haven't been approved yet, they haven't been denied either. So just try submitting something you have always wanted to play, and worst case, you post a different idea.

Re: WtA - 2E

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it.

It has been a couple years since I last played WOD. My tabletop group decided to try something different after close to two decades of White Wolf stuff (WOD and Exalted). Still, its not a hard system and I remember the basics.

At the moment the concepts interesting to me are; Janissary, Akashic or an Iron Rider.

Yes I know Iron Riders became Glass Walkers but the Umbra is a strange place, stay out there long enough and when you come back, you've barely aged but the world has passed you by.

I'll work on the concepts more and then send the RTJ.

Re: WtA - 2E

I will warn you though, HouseJ seems to be trying to get away from Mages, not that he won't allow another one, it just isn't his favorite thing because of how powerful they can get. He just recently kicked four of the most powerful Mages into separate storylines so they wouldn't be such a nuisance anymore. Lol

Re: WtA - 2E

Always a good time to join! Looking for Garou, Bastet, pretty much any other kind of (normal-ish) Fera you're interested in playing!

The local Glass Walkers are treading dangerously close towards a war with either the Red Talons, or a powerful Wyld spirit that wishes nothing more than to eradicate any threats to her woods, which of course includes a very lucrative mining operation. Will you be able to stop the mining before she destroys the whole town? Or will you sit by and watch as it burns to the ground?

I"m potentially interested in joining this game, but I was hoping you could answer a few questions first. Can I do that on this ad post, or should that be done through DMs? Sorry, I'm new to forum and play-by-post games, so I'm not sure on the etiquette here.

Additionally, they used to own these deleted games:
