I'm looking to start running a PbP game (in addition to participating in some) focusing more on social skills, cons, and so on than guns and explosions. Which is to say that, even though we'll have a fighter in the group, the fighter is also fairly competent at conning. I'd like around 4 players, but up to 6 would be acceptable.
Setting: Seattle would likely be the home base, but I'm happy to entertain other ideas. Pretty good odds this campaign will lead to travels around the world.
Frequency: One post per day is about what will be expected (more always welcome)
Expect mature situations and language and the like. I don't censor anything.
As a GM I'm pretty good at making open-ended runs and improvising, so go into this expecting to be given a long leash to plan your runs (and more than enough to hang yourself on, too!)
Rules for character creation:
* 400BP for characters
* All characters should have at least one CHA-linked skill at 2 or higher
* Anything that's Missions-safe is good to go; will be open to a lot of non-Missions-safe builds, just ask first.
* Characters should have interesting Qualities, both positive and negative.
* Keep the min-maxing to a minimum, please.
Other rules:
* Using the
IC Roller for all dice rolls, and please create an account there as well for tracking and such.
Quick code for rolls:
xd6.hits(5) will roll x# dice counting 5s and 6s as a hit.
xd6.hitsopen(5,6) will roll x# dice with exploding 6s, counting 5s and 6s as hits like regular
* I think I'm going to steal this from Chrona's other game:

When we start the IC thread, add this to the top of your posts so we don't track of that sort of thing. It'll also help me remember who has what character.

IC thread Table of ContentsI'm going to keep this updated at beginnings and notable parts of scenes so we don't have to keep track of every post across 40 pages as the IC thread balloons in size. This can also serve as a rough adventure log at-a-glance sort of thing. For combat, there'll probably be a link to the beginning of each IP, and so on.
