Hello. I'm already GMing a play by post game that I am enjoying... but I believe I could run one more concurrently...if that is accepted. This one would be from a setting of my own design inspired by science fiction and sword and planet pulp and films and maybe a nightmare. It's called Swords of the Vampire Planet. The beginning characters would all be spacemen/women/aliens who comprise a crew of a spacecraft pulled into the gravitation of a strange and remote planet by an electromagnetic energy field caused by meteoric debris which disables the instruments on their advanced ship and forces them to escape it's final descent by means of a survivor craft. Upon planet-fall, the castaways discover a world in ruins, once ruled by vampires in a feudal system of medieval nature, with the vampires now driven underground to live in caves beneath the crumbling cities wherein they once held court. An Iron Age culture of humans also exists, a people of wooden hill forts, warrior aristocracies and barrow mounds. Vampires are the devil in the mythology and lore of this Iron Age people, who recall all too well a time when they were the cattle of the blood suckers. Trapped upon the Vampire Planet and having limited energy to power their space age technology, and with the space disturbance also ruining much chance that they will contact or be found by the planet they have come from, the spacemen are forced to adapt to the horrifying conditions of a world in the grip of vampires who worship the Three Moons and consider the system's sun as a hostile god. If anyone is interested, I will decide on a rules system, something old school. What do you say?

That's a pretty frickin' metal campaign! \m/ \m/
I'm full up but I think this will be a very cool campaign!

I don't play PBP games, but this one sounds really cool. If you want to run it here, and if you get enough players, let me know and I can set up some space on these boards.

Same here. I just can't keep up with/do PBP. The concept is really awesome! It tempts me despite my aversion to PBP.

Sounds like a cool idea, but my dance card is also full (also not sure how I feel about PBP, just about to really give one a shot now).

I understand. Thanks Finarvyn. If no bites for PbP on it, I'm thinking of trying to do some zine work with the idea.
I never thought I would enjoy PbP but alot of the people in this forum make it really fun.
You get a little more time to think things out, and I look forward to reading the dialogue of the player characters.
I really don't have the time or a crew to do any table gaming right now so its been my gaming fix.
Appreciate the interest and comments.
Also this has been a fun forum to turn to for many years so let me say I appreciate Finarvyn and other admins and the really awesome discussions and content I find.
Mr. Otus, I wish to say I have always been a big fan of your artwork, sir!

Life is pretty rough about now, but I love PbP games. I’m mainly a 1e player and it’s almost two different styles of playing for me, live vs. PbP. But I enjoy them both. This is an excellent game concept - you’ll find players for sure!

This is an excellent game concept - you’ll find players for sure! Thanks! I feel like an episode of Tom Baker Dr. Who played a role in this idea but I can't immediately recall the name. Vampire Planet, one of my favorite older sci-fi films, was also an influence, as well as the usual vampire fare I take in. Big fan of vampire stories of any setting. Had a long, movie-like dream a few years ago that took place in such a world and a few elements of the planned campaign, particularly a few creatures, come from that weird dream!
