So over at therpgsite I'm trying to gather players for an OD&D play by post. I have one interested person so far, I'm open to running the game anywhere. It's an open table game so however many want to play are welcome. Anyway here is the pitch I posted there.
King Alfred the second has hatched a plan. His kingdom is littered with malcontents, sell swords, and aggressively sanctimonious priests. His northern most province has been all but abandoned for nearly two generations, lost to bandits, barbarians, goblins, and gods know what else. The king intends to kill two birds with one stone. A notice has been sent throughout the land, all able bodied men of stout heart are offered reward and the possibility of landed title if they lend their arms to the reclaiming of the north. All criminals can be forgiven if they promise to head north and prove their loyalty to the realm.
The farthest town north is Grants Keep, a shell of a respectable hold. All are called there to find their fortune and lend their hand in cleansing the land.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I intend this to be a mostly by the book OD&D game using just the three basic booklets.
* 3d6 in order character generation, let the dice fall where they may
* No fudging of rolls on my end, it just is what is, I expect a good few deaths.
* Drop in, drop out. I envision this as an open game, there is no overarching plot, stuff just happens. Players may come and go as they please and we could end up with multiple parties I suppose.
Basically that is my vision for the game. I've got the outline of things in my head, if some interest is shown I could be ready to begin play a couple of days. I'd like to get at least two or three players to start but it's an open book from there.
