Our gaming group (the Olympus Group) has an opening for 1 or 2 weekly players.
A little about us.
We have been gaming online every week since May 2010, and we do this via Fantasy Grounds, and Teamspeak (for voice communications). GURPS is our system of choice, and we use it for the several campaigns/genres currently in play. So things don't stagnate and become monotonous we will switch campaigns from time to time. This also allows us to switch GM/Player roles. Our current play list is:
Traveller (Interstellar Wars Period)
The players are the starship crew aboard the Emerald Monarch, a Terran frontier merchant ship exploring trade options within the First Imperium (Ziru Sirka). After 10 years of peace, hostilities between the Vilani and Terran Confederation have erupted into what history will call the 4th Interstellar War.
Shadowrun (played with GURPS)
Shadowrun is a dystopian cyberpunk future that fuses magic and technology. The players are Shadowrunners, people for hire with the skills to do the dirty work of mega corporations, governments, crime syndicates, or anyone with a fat wallet. When you run the shadows, there are no rules except those set by you alone.
Banestorm
Set in the fantasy world of Yrth, the players have been swept up into events that mark the start of an invasion by a powerful and unknown race. They come from the Great Desert, a barren place home to bands of Lizard Men and Orcs, but even these denizens flee their lands in fear of this new threat.
The Crusade
Set in the historical period of the Crusades, the players are pilgrims travelling to the holy land, each for their own personal reasons. What started out as a typical journey, soon took a different turn as mystical and supernatural events challenge the character's beliefs and what they thought they knew about the world.
Prime Directive (Star Trek with GURPS)
It is almost fifty years since the United Federation of Planets was formed and a little over that before James Kirk assumes command of the NCC-1701. The Romulan War is a thing of the past and a new sense of optimism is enveloping the quadrant. The players are assigned to the NCC-36, USS Telemachus, which is one of the few remaining NX-Enterprise Class ships still in service.
When we play
Our game sessions are weekly on Saturday 11pm GMT, this equates to Saturday evening for those in US timezones, or Sunday morning for those in the Australian timezone. Unfortunately this is not ideal for European players. We aim to run our sessions for 3-4 hours but this sometimes runs longer.
What we're looking for
We want 1 or 2 new players that are interested in each of our current games and can commit to a weekly session with reasonable consistently.
Experience with GURPS is not important, as the system is easy to learn, and will cater to both the beginner and advanced player. Since we use GURPS for all our games, what you learn will apply to everything.
The current group is mature aged, all 30+, so we're looking for mature players. This doesn't mean a 16yo can't be mature, but if running into a dungeon and racking up monster kills is all that interests you, then our group is maybe not for you.
So if you got this far and are interested in joining our group, then post here or send me a PM.
