Not sure what you specifically want feed back on, but point bu point here's my take: Non-con. As far as I'm concerned, go ahead. Sometimes the fiction needs bad things to happen to the good guys. I can take it, though I do not presume to answer for anyone else. Spoilers. I don't need them. If things take a turn I'm not interested in, I can happily skim over and get to what does interest me. Again, if it's easier, more accessible and comfortable for everyone, use whatever spoilers you want. I will say that one minor gripe with ED is that you can't tag a spoiler. Super handy feature available on another play by post site I frequent. As for art of scenes, "Yes, please."

Can't wait to read it. Anyone else have some kind of resistance vs oppression dynamic they want to explore in a forum rpg?

The next question is, have you scratched that itch or do I need to think about a game and a way to track blood and arousal?

All the rest of us do is watch in awe, we are in no way mad. Well, except with jealousy.

It's a fun twist on the sexy vampire. I like the idea of the addiction - the vampires' psychic abilities give them direct access to their cattle's pleasure centers. They can give you orgasms so soul-shatteringly powerful that it's almost instantly addictive. Unfortunately, the vampire only enjoys it as much as it damages you - it's a delicate balancing act that doesn't hurt the vampire to be wrong about. But their egos are remarkably human - having the cattle beg you to bleed them, "ooh, transcendently luscious. Makes their blood so much sweeter, the bloodgasm so much more intense...." The vampires try to cut it close, just because the more they do, the more addicted and eager the bloodbag gets, and the more intense the experience. It's just way less permanent for the vampires if they fuck it up. Meat dies and you get a new one. And that's why the thralls aren't allowed to feed - makes it to hard for the master to tell how much they can get.

Well, I'm having pho. You're welcome to come if you want. As for a game, oppression is where I am too. Eendurance, the bonds of shared resistance... Dark, claustrophobic streets and greedy, hungry vampire overlords and their simpering, slavering lackies?

I'm with you, Izzy. I know the tone I want but not quite how to pull it off. I want coal wars, but sexy, with a generous side of cozy eldritch horror. But when I frame it that way it sounds - dumb? insane?

Still looking?

Both? Either? The game I am thinking about GMing (and GMing to me is play, just a slightly different kind), regardless of setting, will use 3F. It will almost certainly not be fantasy. If you want a fantasy game, or a game using your various dice system, run it. Obviously I can't run your system and I have no intention of running a fantasy game in the foreseeable future. It appears you have a clear idea of what you want to play (and/or GM). That's great, it's more than I can say, I have little more than a vague notion of fists (and legs, nearly as frequently) in the air. Rebellion, resistance and revolution seem to be where my head's at (can't imagine why). What I do know is that running a game featuring magic, elves and the rest of the usual fantasy tropes has no appeal for me at the moment. Playing in BBB will cover my need for fantasy. If thaf kind of fantasy appeal to you: go, do that. I will root for it to be a success, enjoy kind of following along if it happens where I can see it, but it doesn't interest me enough to invest in playing it. It was the same with Izzy's Cortex game - it took a turn that didn't appeal, so I opted out. Some very cool stuff was shaping up, but it was a thing I didn't really connect with. Dresden Files is the same; people love it but I'm pretty meh on it. Y'all go, Harry Dresden it up if that's your thing. I'll sit on the couch and watch for a minute, but I'm probably going to go shoot pool at the first commercial.

If you want to run a fantasy game, by all means, do. I'm unlikely to play but that shouldn't stop you from playing what you like.

Ooh, yeah, no. None for me thanks. "King" sounds like fantasy to me, but with BBB starting up, I've got my fantasy fix. Again, if that's what anyone else wants to do, y'all have fun.

I'm not entirely sure what "skullgirls" are but if it's what it say on the box, it has no appeal for me. I've run Black Crusade here and the whole line of Fantasy Flight Games' 40k series in other forums - I'm good on mechanical combat posts. However, if that's what everyone wants to do, I'll read along and cheer from the sidelines.

I meant a setting. I have a vague notion of some kind of resistance. Is that anti-colonial taken from something like Burn the Fort or a disparate coalition fighting off the forces of an oppressive state like A|State or Sigmata? Fighting the vampire overlords a la Hammer and Stake? I don't know - splatter punk seems like it might be fun too, Pandemonio for Hallowe'en, anybody? I want intimacy, individuals who may not always like each other trying to figure out how to get along to do something more than just survive. So, what have y'all got?

That was the design goal of 3F: rules that are clear and simple, with as little bookkeeping as possible. The damage tracks are simple enough that they can be a header on a post. Hell, practically the whole character can be a header (especially if you skip skills). The point was to make something tailored for play by post. Now, I suppose, the question is, do we want to talk about a game? I have a couple of vague notions, but nothing more than "a vibe".

My concern with something like that is it sounds like there's a lot of "which dice get awarded to what things" and bookkeeping as things get used. At a physical table this sounds really fun - I love dice rolling mechanics (anyone else a fan of 1st edition CthulhuTech's FrameWerk Yatzee/poker mashup?
