If you'd be interested in seeing a Shadow Chronicles PBP game please voice your opinion here:

I am not trolling for new players here, simply checking the temperature of folks out there.

Gotta see if the market will support this new game yet...

If a new game does get started, it'll be posted in the Explorers Unlimited.com Sticky in the Gamers Looking for other Gamers Forum.

The answer has been no in the past.

I will be starting one up form my play group. That is if I can't get them to the table on a regular basis. My goal is to have everyone post once a week - if possible more often. But I will be hosting it from my own website phpbb board

I'm also considering doing a demo style run at www.robotech.com 's Gaming forum to gather newbies into the frey and help them get their robotechrpg feet.

I'll keep an eye on the site you showed as well.

EU is a really good site (I'm biased, of course!) but rpol.net has some features that I'm jealous of...like the private messages in-posts, man, that would rock on EU!

Robotech.com actually has a very few games on-going in its gaming forum. Pretty minimal though, and their message board format is just awful. If I weren't a PBP gamer dedicated to EU/OW I'd play on rpol.net rather than their forums. Though, admittedly their forums would attract more interested attention. Perhaps you should just advertise there instead?

So very true! Hence this thread really...

Hey, best of luck! I've found on EU/OW that once a week is doable but really drags along. Shoot for twice a week and schedule the GM post-updates. Trust me, it works quite well. Over a dozen EU/OW GMs can't be wrong!

I'd consider a PBP, I'd probably enjoy something run through a program like OpenRPG/OpenRPG+ a bit more, though. That puts the tabletop online, but keeps it live.

Unfortunately, it also brings up many of the same schedule issues that face tabletop gamers. Otherwise I'd be all about it!

True enough...

Fancy that.

Don't get me wrong - I rather be a player. I just need to have people who are passionate about Robotech as I am. I only have one player who is - and that is Novastar. I can't let him be the GM all the time

So - I plan on running a Robotech Campaign/Adventure. If he rather do it - more power! Someone else? Even better!

In either case, it should be fun!

Now I would love to do an Invid Invasion era campaign via PBP if someone is running one.

Just to update/end this thread...

The Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles PBP game at www.otherworlds.explorersunlimited.com is closed.

All player slots for the time being have been filled by an eclectic array of player characters and a fantastic GM has taken up the arduous task running the campaign.

The campaign setting?

--The player group are folks left behind on Tirol when the UEEF fleet leaves for Earth. Just think of the possibilities...
