Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Rules
Thread Rules:
- This thread is for registering that you want to host a D&D forum game. Basically, you sign up your name, who you're hosting with (if you have co-hosts), and give some info about the game (at least what kind of game it is, number of players would be nice too). Then we'll play them in the order they have been registered. This will give some form of order to the forum games, which will be better than the current system of calling a game and hoping people remember.
- This thread is about signing up to host a game ONLY. Please, no other talk whatsoever. Each game has its own thread, there's a [chat] thread, and there are PMs, so take other discussions to one of those.
- This thread is for all games, including but not limited to Phallas, Board Games, Debate Competitions, and Masturbation Competitions (God forbid).
Scheduling Rules:
- We try to alternate Phalla games and Non-Phalla games, to keep people from being bored.
- There's a two-week break after each game. Mini-games (10 to 15 players max) can run during that break.
- Concurrent games are not allowed except in exceptional cases approved by Elki, which usually involve non-disruptive and very long games with few active players.
- On-Hold Rule: If you sign up but later realize that you can't host, and you contact me (Richy) to let me know ahead of time before your turn comes, you can request to be put on hold and not lose your place in the list. If, however, you simply forget about the game and find yourself not ready when your turn comes up, you get deleted from the list.
- We reserve the right to delete people from the sign-up list if they are not ready/AWOL when their turn comes up, or remain on hold for too long.
- Be prepared! The list moves faster than it looks. People tend to sign up and forget about it, or to be too busy IRL when their turn comes up. Either way, they can't host, and we go down the list, host after host, until we find one ready to host a game. So even if your name is way down the list, your turn might come pretty soon!
- I don't have time to watch every game thread, so please notify me when your game ends so I can schedule the next one.
- If you talk the mods into giving you a special exception or talk another host into giving you their place or whatever, that's all cool, but please let me know.

Because 9% think it's too high, and shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not fully
get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for, "I
have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please, God, don't ask for my input."
It's a Cold War espionage setting.
I probably won't put down any details yet since I'm guessing me and Cass are not even sure what they are yet. However something I would like to do was to let you guys have a hand in your character. Meaning if there is a specific name/some sort of funny background info you wanted to be included in your pm (wanna do specific individual pm roles like Shinto's Rishiri), than you guys can pm it to us during the prep of the game. Nothing to do with the gameplay mechanics really but might be fun so who knows.
3DS: 2852-6809-9411
*the Salem witch trials
The Scarlet Letter.*
*Romeo and Juliet
(I'm thinking the first two could possibly be combined)
I should have the details worked out by the time my turn comes around.
BTW, I'm assuming that we can freely drop ourselves back farther on the list (i.e. if my turn is coming up and I get hit with a busy-storm, I can contact the next person on the list and see if they're willing to swap turns with me).
However, it needs to have some thought put into the writing (I would like to have most of the events pre-written before the game starts).
I have spreadsheets, notebooks, emails, google documents, and sketches. I did not bite off more than I can chew, but man, it was a large bite nonetheless. I need to finish up sending out PMs.
basicly like the telephone game thing, but folks alternate drawing and captioning stuff.
if folks are intrested, PM me.
if my box is stuffed by monday, and I haven't been told not to by a mod, I'll make a sign up thread with more info, and will start it in about a 2 weeks.
Click here for a horrible H/A thread with details.
I spent roughly 2-3 hours a day working on it, not counting all the prep work that went on prior to the game, and I was running it with kakos.
A lot of it depends on how much you put into the narration.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
Oh, yeah, and have a plan for when someone drops out or doesn't show up anymore, because it WILL happen. I don't care if you have a 3-person game, someone will drop out. And you better know what to do when it happens.
Gig and I will be hosting a rather unique Phalla, at least from the gameplay point of view. We've yet to work out the full details (mostly my fault, as I'm scrunched between work and academics at the moment, and scarcely have time to breath), but we've got a good idea of where we're going to take things. All that's left is to work out some of the finer points of gameplay and how exactly the narrative will work, and we'll be set. It'll probably be a mega game, the way things are looking.
If not, though, I can add a bunch more roles and develop it into a megagame. In any case, I'll officially sign up for the next place on the Phalla list, wherever that puts me.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
I just had a Phalla idea that is Reign of Terror themed (perhaps with some Napoleonic Revolution thrown in as well, I dunno). But I think Cass is ahead of me, along with Hacksaw. I'm not sure though. The OP can be edited to show order or something.
Will we actually finish it this time?
We haven't had a Mafia-style game there in awhile; we had two going at once at one point, and someone tried to start up a third at the same time, which flopped, and since, no one has tried another in there.
I've decided to run a Phalla-themed Phalla. Depending on trends in the numerous games before mine, it could end up being massive. May include such roles as "Shinto" and "Aroduc". I'd also probably need someone to help me out.
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."
Massive.
- everyone has some kind of power
- monsters don't know who the other monsters are
Title: Dr. Phalla, Evil Genius
Think James Bond, Austin Powers, Get Smart, etc. etc. etc.
Anyway, next Phalla is Cass & Saburbia's, and it should be starting by this weekend.
While I'm here, if someone wants to help me write/review questions for the debate comptetition, PM me.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
(The villains will have diverse powers and will be awesome.)
Discworld Phalla. Seems like a bit of a bad idea to base it on a particular series of books, but I was thinking of making it so people who have read the series would only have a slight advantage over those who haven't. There's a lot to work with - heroes, villians, guilds, gods, the supernatural, wizards, auditors, etc.
If anyone wants to help run this with me just send me a PM.
If I can get a good idea for the mechanics of the other ideas, and if I don't get too overwhelmed running the first one, then I'll think about signing up for another.
So the setting will take place on a boat?
I'd like for there to be a Phalla with a setting similar to The Thing. The idea might have een done already. It would probably be hard to do. The game would be large, but there would be only one alien at the beginning. The way I imagine it, the first alien has the option to change one person each day by PMing the leader.
