Sunday Morning Swords: 29 November 2015

Sunday Morning Swords: 29 November 2015

#LancesAndLeftoversEdition

Good morning!

Here's our organizational thread. Comment below if you're interested in playing this morning and mention if you're comfortable being an Overplayer and whether or not you have play Swords before.

When we get an Overplayer and three or four Rogue Players, those players will run off and start their hangout. For now, let's focus on getting everyone into a group. We'll probably wait until 9:30 EST to start the last group. If you can't make that, check back in a few hours. Another one will fire up at 9 AM PST for those who wake at a more civilized time.

Feel free to use the hashtag #SundayAMSwords should you desire to chat about your game on the social medias.

P.S. Got some tips on how to do this and links to useful files here: http://www.worldswithoutmaster.com/blog/2014/7/14/sunday-morning-swords

I'm going to be away this weekend participating in some sort of MEGAGAME, so I'll not be around for #SundayAMSwords this Sunday. But I should be returning the week after.

Hey, guys. Here's the link to the PbP game, if you want to take a look. Feel free to lurk. Players are: Josh McGraw Aaron Feild Pat Perkins and Deodatus gr.   . Let's see how it goes.

Since the original post is from June, I'll start this new one. 
I think this can be done by creating a separate community for the game.I have a pretty good idea of how to organize such a community here in G+ for purposes of the game. 

I'm new to the system, but I think I could be the Overplayer. The PbP format should give me ample time to look at pertinent sections of the rules, if the need arises. It'll be a little clunkier than in person, but it's doable I think.

I want to get a Google Hangout game going as well, during the week, but I'll do it in a couple of weeks, as  my schedule clears up. 

Meantime: Anyone interested in participating? Please reply below. I'm looking for 3-4 players. Details will follow, but I like the idea of the +1 to indicate that Overplayer should continue to escalate. Subforums in the community would have areas for posting characters, tracking threads, OOC chat, discussion, and maybe even a Reader's section, for those not playing who wish to comment.

Tagging Epidiah Ravachol , Josh McGraw , Aaron Feild , Keith Stetson and Andy Hauge  from the original thread...

Also, I suspect a lot of the East Coast players are at Metatopia this morning, so the first session may be a little light. If that's the case, and you've got time, do check back for the later session.

Hello, everyone.

Hello, everyone. I'm new to story games, but old hand at Swords and Sorcery.  I'm reading through SWM rules right now and it sounds like fun. How long is a Sunday Morning Swords session? I'm interested in participating.

Alas my rogues, I am away celebrating my in-laws' birthdays this morning and unable to #SundayAMSwords.

Alas my rogues, I am away celebrating my in-laws' birthdays this morning and unable to #SundayAMSwords. A fact that may be apparent by how late I am with this post.
