Count me in on any game that gets started. I'm more likely to be available for play-by-post than IM, but I've been wanting to start up RPing again for a while.
Same here. I'll be available for IM from early fall 2011 onwards.
Will you be able/interested in play-by-post? You, me, and Armok_GOB can start something along with anyone else interested, but he and I are in radically different timezones. If you don't like play-by-post, IM might still be worth a shot.
What are your preferences for rules systems? I'm equally interested and inexperienced with all the ones mentioned so far.
I would not mind play-by-post, have never done it actually. I have played IM and live. The systems are unfamiliar to me, but most of them seem interesting enough to try.
I've done play-by-post before, and I may still have access to a forum one of my friends made for the purpose. As for systems, FreeMarket looks awesome but it's expensive. Eclipse Phase is nearly as cool and available for free, so I'd vote for that.
I think that Future Shock thing would be the most convenient to play post by post, in that it doesn't require GM-ing. It only requires one Agonist until he's countered by Another, becoming Prot- and Ant- at that time.
Genius, being White-Wolf-style, is heavy on GM-ing, so besides aesthetic reasons that I'd say it's suboptimal.
Those are good points. I forgot about future shock in my earlier post. It's not like anything I have experience with rules-wise, but it will be fun to figure out as we go along.
Resources, put here so I and others can find them:
Here is somebody's review of V1.1.
Here is a transcript of one of that guy's games.
If we can get 4 people to agree on a game of Shock, it's available as a PDF here for $13.
So eh, what happened to that?
