I've gotten to play some recently and it's a very fun, easy system. I'd definitely be up for giving it a shot here as well, if you wind up with enough room.

Even though my last Mage concept was a bit of a wash, I'm brainstorming another one focused around the Adamantine Arrow since their book has a ton of awesome ideas, if that's not too self-indulgent. I'm hoping the lack of interest was less due to Mage being complicated and more that I needed a different setup.
I might also revise the OP so it's less daunting, since it can be a pretty imposing setup.
A game with where players make a few tactical decisions, have some light roleplay? Where you could earn in game gold, prizes and xp? Or be forced to pay ransom for your gear?
I’d like to run such a tournament.

I'd be interested. Was the fighter class really called fighting men back then?

Hey, crazy thought. My sister & brother-in-law have a Euro boardgame called Labyrinth (not related to the 80's movie). It's for 2-4 players, and uses a 7x7 board made up of loose tiles, and a deck of cards with pictures of objects that are also on some of the tiles. Each turn, one player draws a card and looks at what object is on it. Then the player takes the spare tile and uses it to slide one row of the 'board' over until another tile is out of bounds. Then, if they have a clear path to the object they drew, they move to that tile and get a point. If not, they pick somewhere they can move to and try again later. Since each player is taking the tile knocked out last turn and adding it somewhere else, the board's maze is constantly changing, but players don't know what object other players are trying to get next, so your ability to interfere in a deliberate way is limited.
I was thinking, if I took good pictures of the tiles and cards using my smart phone, I could host a game for people by splicing tile images to make board images and using PM conversations with each player for the card draw. I probably wouldn't be able to get the photos till next weekend, but is this something people would want to try?
I have that game too! It would be interesting to try a pbp of for sure!

Just out of morbid curiosity, do we have a discord? I thought it might be a good resource for discussing various games, rulesets, character concepts, etc.

There's a general PA forum discord I think? Thread for it somewhere in G&T.
Hey sorry, change of plans meant I wasn't able to get over to my sisters' this weekend. I might be watching the nephews at their house during the week, and if not I'll definitely be having Thanksgiving with them, so either way I will have the stuff I need to start it up by the weekend if there's still interest.

So, JPants has been completely absent from the forums for 2 whole days now (hopefully not due to anything serious) and the Labyrinth game I'm hosting is at a standstill. We can just cut the 4th player, but if anyone would like to step in take over as the blue player the spot's open.
Fair warning though, he was tied for last place, but luck is a big factor so who knows if things could turn around.

Everything came down to the wire with a four-way tie, but ArcSyn managed to win the Labyrinth PBP.
Probably don't want to start one up heading into the week of the holiday shutdown, but if other players are interested in trying it I wouldn't be opposed to running a second one when the forums come back up in the New Year.
Hey y'all. It's been a while. Let's build train tracks and make some money in Irish Gauge.
(For those wondering about the absence of my usual Twilight Imperium game, I completely upgraded my computer a number of months ago and didn't have a spreadsheet program to keep track of everything. Still don't, in fact! So I'm running a simpler game in the meantime to scratch that hosting itch in the meantime.)
Conquer the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros by fighting, discover lost Relics, and humiliating your enemies for fun and profit in the Aegon's Conquest Megagame, sign ups open now!
"Go down, kick ass, and set yourselves up as gods, that's our Prime Directive!"
I've started up a PbP of Eldritch Horror here for those who are interested. Core Set + Forsaken Lore only.
Tri-Optimum reminds you that there are only one-hundred-sixty-three shopping days until Christmas. Just 1 extra work cycle twice a week will give you the spending money you need to make this holiday a very special one.

Do you like making cunning plans and breaking the hopes of others?
Do you enjoy the Franklin Gothic typeface?
Then perhaps I can interest you in taking part in a game of currency trading, For-Ex...

A game using these simple rules: http://swordplusone.com/Jousting_final.pdf
A game with where players make a few tactical decisions, have some light roleplay? Where you could earn in game gold, prizes and xp? Or be forced to pay ransom for your gear?

Glad to see interest!

I'll run another game if more than 4 are interested.

Nevermind, he's back.

Come take on Westeros! Destroy your enemies! Raid their land! Marry your siblings!
Well...maybe not that last part.
Take on your siblings and marry your enemies?
