Topic: LotFP Skype game?

I've been poring over my new copy of the Lamentations of the Flame Princess WF game (the free rules can be downloaded here: http://lotfp.blogspot.com) and finding it to be an interesting, quirky, horror-inflected take on OD&D or B/X-like rules.

I recently posted this on Dragonsfoot and realized that this might be a better venue.

I've been poring over my new copy of the Lamentations of the Flame Princess WF game and finding it to be an interesting, quirky, horror-inflected take on OD&D or B/X-like rules.

I have already stolen a number of nifty ideas for house rules in my own Labyrinth Lord tabletop and Skype campaigns. Still I'm interested in seeing how the whole package rolls when played straight.

Anyone else out there interested in playing a Skype game using this rule set?

Nitty gritty:
1. The game will start as a mini-campaign i.e. with a short shelf life of say 3-6 sessions. (If it really rocks maybe we'll extend this.)
2. Play will center around the exploration of a limited sandbox campaign area with Vance, Lovecraftian and dark fantasy mish-mash overtones.
3. Sessions will be at least twice a month, most likely every other week.
4. Play will start around 6-8 pm Central US time (more flexible on a weekend).
5. We will use Skype for audio; Dragonsfoot chatrooms for the dice roller, and Dabbleboard for maps. All somewhat luddite-friendly to use.

I'm in Western Australia which (I think) is 13 hours adrift from your time zone - but if you play on the weekend I'm pretty sure I could make it work?

It's not the years, it's the mileage.

We have a player in Melbourne in my regular LL Skype game (who may be joining us).  It's usually around 10 or 11 in the morning his time when we start, so if that's not a problem on a weekend then cool.

That sounds about perfect then (I'm two hours away from Melbourne).

:-D

Looks like we have 3 or 4 players. Would this weekend or the next work, hogscape? Obviously a few spots still open if anyone else is interested.

BTW the setting background can be found here as part of my compendium of house rules and other crap: http://hillcantons.blogspot.com/2010/09 … asses.html

Next weekend would suit me better folks - it's a long weekend over here - grand final footy fever and all that!

Re: LotFP Skype game?

OK so it looks like we have 5 players and that we are shooting for Sunday October 10th. If anyone is still interested I've set up a Yahoo group here as a hub: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/weirdfantasy . We will use this to store character and campaign files.
