Dárdüni Divinations (2 Nov 2011) - Player & GM Shoutout!
14 years ago
General
Welcome to the Dárdüni Divinations,
the Shard RPG Group Journal!
Everyone knows that finding gaming groups for roleplaying game that you enjoy is not always easy!
So in an attempt to give Shard enthusiasts around the world a hand in finding their own adventuring party, every journal post from now on will contain a list of players and GMs that are currently available looking for one!
So in future, you will find this list at the bottom of all future ShardRPG journal posts!
======GM Looking for Players======
Sherbniz is considering running a one-shot or longer campaign in english over Skype!
Though it's unsure, as he already runs 2 groups atm.
Interested so far:
nightwind005
======Player Looking for a Group/Gamemaster======
MatthiasRat is looking to join a local game (Southeast of Pittsburgh) (or alternatively a Skype session) as a player!
Acidrica is looking to join a Skype session as player!
Make sure to check the ShardRPG Great List of Gaming for up to date entries and to enter yourself, if interested!
And as an added something, here's a little insight into the cosmology of Shard from the ShardRPG forums, posted by our very own Scott Jones.
I would assume that, in the alternate universe where Dárdünah exists, if trace amounts of metals found on Dárdünah are so rare,...it's because the conditions under which metals can exist in its universe as a whole are also incredibly rare, and thus there probably really wouldn't be huge deposits of meteoric iron (or other metals) floating out there in Shard's universal starry void...
Instead, as we may have indicated in snippets containing clues about Shard's cosmology, there are many differences between the "laws of reality" of the "real" universe and ours... The suns of Shard's universe are actually vast spherical burning crystals. These suns and the planets that revolve around them float in a strange "aether" that might actually have vast bands of life-sustaining atmosphere that may link some star systems and their planets together,... These aethers have properties that allow the existence of "shattered worlds" such as Dárdünah to remain a viable place for life to exist, and surround it with a strange and veil-like scintillating atmosphere of colorful crystal dust... Etc. etc....
When I had strange materials fall from space in the campaigns I was running, there were always crystalline in nature, and sometimes even sentient!!! But that's just me! And just ask Aaron,...I'd throw things in my game that Aaron might never feel good about throwing in his, nor necessarily including it as part of the prime fiction... So from a gaming standpoint, I'd say, if you want to introduce the idea of "legendary metallic weapons and armor" to your campaign, or other such coolness, well heck,...having it fall from space is as awesome a place to start as any!
That's all for now!
May your crystal never shatter!

Hope you'll find something soon!
Otherwise I'll probably consider starting a third group, haha x)

And while I have never used Skype, I am willing to give it a try if there's a game being run at a time I can attend. (Mon - Thursday are generally out for me).

Playing on skype is quite okay!
Sure, you are missing out on a lot of things that would only work in-persona (gestures, etc)...
But luckily the fact that everyone who plays is sitting in front of a computer allows for many other gimmicks, such as a virtual gametable, music streaming and many more! :)
