Would anyone be interested in a play by post using their EVE character?
I have some ideas floating in my head for a story and would be happy to be the moderator/GM

The scrap of paper reads ~ WINNER If your liberty is won by others then you are not free, you are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic and you suck the honourable man dry. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood |

I will fit you into the story once I know who is going to participate
The campaing ideas I have are geared mostly towards character development and mystery solving. I doubt that there would be very much combat, ship to ship or otherwise. Dont get me wrong though you will still se combat if you want to.
I will solidify the introduction to the story once I know who is going to participate, but suffice it to say you will be undocking from a trade hub at the start of the adventure.
I am probably going to use the FATE gaming system.
It allows for an easily arbitrated game but still has room for character development. |

FATE gaming system? What RP game is it in? Sepherim Catillah; Ex-Imperial Navy Officer |

It is most famous for the Dresden Files RPG
The book I will be using is Strands of Fate by Mike McConnell, published by Void Star.
http://voidstar.squarespace.com/strands-of-fate/
I think it will work well as a play by post becouse there are not alot of numbers and you dont need a map.
Your character has some basic abilities but where you really excell is the Aspects system.
For instance a character could have the "Born as a Holder" aspect. This could benefit your character if they were trying to talk an Amarrian magistrate into ignoring a minor transgression. Or it would help you pick out the spy from amongst the crowd of slaves. The catch is that you the player chooses when the aspect comes into play.
If I present a challenge where you think you have a better chance of success due to an Aspect it is up to you to let me know.
The draw back is that I gage the difficulty of a challenge based on the characters Aspects. If i think someone with "Born As a Holder" would find it difficult to barter in a Galentean marketplace I would offer you the choice of a higher chance of failure in exchange for a bonus later on. |

OK, I haven't used that system before, but I'm sure I can learn it rather quick. Trade hub is a good common point for players of all backgrounds, good touch. Count me in. Every time I post is Pardy time! :3 |

Sounds really fun. Any idea on the pace you'd like to have for the game? In other words, players responding throughout the day, or once per day, within 24 hours, etc.? |

I was considering all of the above. I think that to be fair to the folks who cant do any better I would at least give people 24 hours to respond. If the story moves forward faster than that I'm good with it.
Personally I will be able to post most weekdays during the workday (EST) |

Excellent for me, most days I'll be able to post more than once, and surely once would be a minimum I could also follow with probable ease. As for the pdf, I'll try to read through it soon. Sepherim Catillah; Ex-Imperial Navy Officer |

Sounds like a good idea, allowing us to separate OOC from IC easily and solve common doubts and issues that may arise. And maybe other forum users want to post ideas, or critics, or join, or whatever. :) Sepherim Catillah; Ex-Imperial Navy Officer |

Well, if it happened "that day", in the past, then your character would be affected and have memories of the events that happend there, which is not completely the case (yet). Your character might behave differently now because of what happend there and then. And what if you die? Contraband Smuggling: Player Assisted Customs |

If I die, I suppose I'll have to recycle my biomass, just to be a harcore RPer. :P
Ok, I seriously wouldn't do that, that's just silly. XD Every time I post is Pardy time! :3 |
