Heya folks! I've played a little 3e DnD online before (PBMB), a little 2e DnD online (same), and a teensy bit of 2e DnD with a live group a looong time ago. I'm a fan of trying new things and would give just about any system a try, though the only books I own are 2e and 3e DnD PHBs and DMGs. Systems I haven't played but that sound interesting are WoD, Shadowrun, and GURPS, though I'd need a little hand-holding in the beginning. Free time varies. I can post anywhere from 4 times a day to a couple times a week depending on what's going on in RL. Usually I can get on multiple times a day at work during lunch, breaks, etc. but I'm not going to promise anything.
So I'm looking to plunge into a game to help break up the monotony of my days. What do you guys have to offer? ;D

Hi, Merkuri!
I will be brief, as my kingdom is in dire danger now, and I don't have much free time to spend.
For nearly four years we fought against terrible enemy, known to us only as Demonic Wizard, for he or she has many fiends from Abyss in his hordes. Recently, Her Fey Majesty Queen Yolande, finally realized, that if we will continue fight by ourselves, our defeat is only a matter of time. So, I was ordered to send call thorughout World of Oerth - our world and even to the others worlds and planes, asking powerful champions to help us during these dark times. I am now asking you, please help us during these dark times! Our kingdom don't have much to offer you, but if money are important for you, we will be able to pay ten thousands suncrowns of Celene after the threat to our kingdom will be dealt with. If you will decide to our aid, keep in mind that our kingdom is situated in the World of Oerth, but even if you know nothing about the World of Oerth, your help will be greatly appreciated nevertheless.
P.S.
If you will decide to come to our aid, or at last learn more details, please visit "The Dark Times of Celene" thread by Black Robed One which is situated among Freeform/Open RPG Threads.

Hi, Merkuri!
Now would you like to recieve an official invitation to join from DM, eh? I'll repeat Ariel Faerie a bit, but please, don't let it worry you.
So, if you are interesting in plying PBMB Online RPG, I am pleased to tell you, that I have just started an Online RPG of my own - "The Dark Times of Celene", and naturaly I am in need for players. This is game for quite powerful characters, somewhere between 15th and 18th level. Sending me characters background and/or statistics aren’t necessary, although it won’t harm either. If you won’t to give me any information about your character, please either PM me, or put your information in ‘Character Description’ thread at this forum. Please, try to avoid playing munchkin races, such as fully-grown dragons (although wyrmlings, very young and young dragons will be okay), Mind Flayers, Giants, Ogre Mages and similar over powered creatures. If you wish to play such overpowered creature anyway, PM me first and give me an excellent character description as well as the good reason for me to allow you to play this character (i.e. interesting role-playing suggestions). This game is good for any alignment, for radical changes in goals and/or PC vs. PC options will be available.
If you are interested in joining it, here is the story background:
More then three years have passed, since Lord Edhelorn Serethorn leaded an attack against the being, which is now known as Demonic Wizard. Little is known about details of Lord Edhelorn Serethorn’s crusade, except that it ended in utter and complete failure. Lord Edhelorn Serethorn’s mercenary army was partially annihilated, and partially fled into surrounding kingdoms. Last remnants of Lord Edhelorn Serethorn’s family guard are now scattered all across the Faerie Kingdom of Celene and surrounding lands; as only few best members of Lord Edhelorn Serethorn’s family guard have survived their lord’s failure. As about Lord Edhelorn Serethorn himself, there are rumors that his hatred and desire for vengeance were turned against Faerie Kingdom of Celene, and that now Lord Edhelorn Serethorn is one the finest generals in Demonic Wizard’s armies. But then again, these are only rumors, which haven’t been proved so far…
Demonic Wizard was not satisfied with Lord Edhelorn Serethorn’s failure. As Demonic Wizard dealt with Lord Edhelorn Serethorn in one way or another, he moved onto Faerie Kingdom of Celene with more force, then he was believed to have. Only skillful guerrilla warfare allowed elves of the Faerie Kingdom of Celene to keep at last small portion of their land, in unfair battle against Demonic Wizard’s armies, and hordes of orcs and goblinoids, who used weakness of the Faerie Kingdom of Celene to launch their own attack against their ancient enemies – elves. Even though elves of the Faerie Kingdom of Celene were able to keep the invaders for more then three years, their situation is grim indeed, and is getting worse with each passing day.
Understanding that without powerful help from outside that the fall of the Faerie Kingdom of Celene is only a matter of time, Her Fey Majesty Queen Yolande of Celene ordered her older daughter Ariel to assemble a force made of the powerful warriors and mages to land a deathblow to very heart of their problem: to the Demonic Wizard himself, and his generals, without whom, Demonic Wizard’s organized army will become just a mob. In her turn Princess Ariel with help from wizard Onselven sent a call throughout the Oerth, and even to some others worlds and plans, asking all those who are ready to fight for ideals of goodness and justice to come to aid Celene in these dark times. Along with call, there came the instructions how to find the outpost, which will become their headquarters.
This Online RPG of mine is located among Freeform/Open RPG Threads. But even though "The Dark Times of Celene" is 'diceless' Online RPG, I ask all the playing to obey simple Combat Rules. Here they are:
1. If you attack somebody (Monster, NPC or PC) with either normal weapons or magic, you just post what kind of attack takes place. Then, I will post resolution of this attack. Don’t worry; I will be a fair DM. Don’t try to post resolution of your attack yourself. For example: you should not post: “I strike Ogre with my greatsword, slashing him across the torso”; instead you should post: “I strike Ogre with my greatsword, aiming at his torso”. It is for me to decide, whatever your attack was successful or no, not for you.
2. Likewise, if you try to defend (dodge from physical attack or ray spell, shrug off effect of mental spell with your willpower, use magical resistance against spell and so on) from any attack from somebody (Monster, NPC or PC), you just post what kind of defense takes place. Then, I will post resolution of this defense. Don’t worry; I will be a fair DM. Don’t try to post resolution of your defense yourself. For example: you should not post: “I nimbly dodge strike of Ogre’s greatclub”; instead you should post: “Being a nimble person, I am trying to dodge strike of Ogre’s greatclub”. It is for me to decide, whatever your defense was successful or no, not for you.
3. Respect me and other players. Not everybody may be able to post as frequently as you are. If you post your attack, but don’t receive any response to it from either player or me, don’t try to assume anything, just wait.
If you are interested, feel free to join this Online RPG of mine at any time you wish. I usualy allow new players to join my Online RPGs at any moment of the game, and this game is not an exception.

Hussar, the free time I have isn't always constant. I don't like comitting to play at a certain time because I often have to back out last minute. I've checked out your game forum, though, and it looks interesting. If I feel like I can commit without letting your group down I'll let you know. BRO, your game looks fun, too. Depending on how much time I have tonight I'll pull together a character and PM her to you. I'd do it now but people might look at me funny if I whip out a PHB in the middle of work.

P.S.
My etenral gratitude to Shadowdragon for creating a separated secttion for my "The Dark Times of Celene" Online RPG!
