Don't Rest Your Head?

I'm in the mood to run a horror game. This is the one I really like at the moment and I don't frequently get to run it. Anyone up for a game of DRYH?

Excellent. That's one. I don't really need a large number of players, you'll find yourself alone a lot in this game, but if we can get a couple more that would be excellent.

how are you going to work the weird dice system?

Not a regular poster, in fact this is my first, but a long time lurker (half a year or so)... If you are planning on running a DRYH PbP, I'd love to join in. Owned the rulebooks for a while now, yet never had an opportunity to use it.

We don't have a dice roller on here, do we?

I was thinking just trusting people to roll if needed? I tend to not make people roll a lot, even though it's kind of what drives the tension in DRYH, but would that work?

Sorry, no dice roller. How about you rolling for the players? As GM, you are the ultimate arbiter after all!

But that's so much work for me. ^_^

I could do that, I do have the dice for the game already.

This roller looks like it can be rolled by the player then will automatically email it to the GMs. There are a few around like this. Means the players can still roll where needed, and yet the GM is able to make sure they aren't been fudged.

The only one that would really work for DRYH would be the PBE games one because it allows you to roll say Competence, Exhaustion and Madness all at once.

I'll put up the character creation stuff for people who don't own the books. I'll run it with just two if Rotku and misterecho want to go. Anyone else can sign up and play later. ^_^
