How about a Savage Worlds Play by Post game?

[Double Deuce]

Anyone know of a good Play by Post forum for a Savage Worlds game? I have not been able to find one where the forum's die roller supports exploding dice which makes it really inconvenient.

do ours not?  You might have to do ours on subsequent posts - i.e., roll d6 on this post; if it's a 6 then roll the 'exploded' die in the next post

I will have to doublecheck. Thought it was just a d6 only roller.

This is just a test.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d8 : 5, total 5[/blockquote]

This dice roll has been tampered with! < Editing the format to see if it worked
Freezing 1d10 : 3, total 3
Fire 1d20 : 14, total 14

Yeah, thinking it should work. With PC's and 'Wild Cards' they can roll their normal Skill Die and the the d6 Wild Die sorta like this . . .

This dice roll has been tampered with! < LOL, gonna take a little practice to get the formatting down.
Fighting-ShortSword 1d8 : 7, total 7
Wild Die 1d6 : 2, total 2
and then if any explode, roll that same Die type again and so on as needed.

Just curious - you looking for any specific Savage Worlds settings?

[Double Deuce]

Most likely a homebrew but it will be a fantasy setting. I've never played Savage Worlds before and am wanting to do something short so I can walk through the steps before running a game in Fantasy Grounds. It would be a leaning experience for me and anyone that might want to try that system out.

I'm thinking the group is off to recover a relic from an old grave site that was hidden until recently before the 'enemy' can get it.

I was looking at Play by Post games on other sites. I think it would work here. You might have to start subforums (one for play, one for 'out of character' talk) but you could probably work around that.

Especially if we ever added the Spoiler tag option to our posts.  ^-^

[Double Deuce]

Yeah, will need a couple threads at least. Hopefully it can be kept to a minimum.

It will be set in Harn, so if you are familiar with that setting, some of this will make sense.

Basically, the Jarin (i.e. Celts) are the locals and have lived here for thousands of years but they have been ruled by several Ivinian Clans (i.e. Vikings) for the last generation or so. The terrain is mountainous and similar to Norway (fjords etc).  Recently, heavy rain washed away part of a  hillside on an island just off the coast somewhere yet to be determined and exposed an ancient burial chamber of some Jarin bigwig.

According to the local shamen, for the Jarin, recovering artifact(s) from that grave will be a sign for them to mount another uprising and drive the Ivinians out of their lands for good.

The Ivinians obviously want to prevent their recovery and either bury them somewhere else or destroy them. If all else fails they could just dump them in the sea somewhere.

The above is just a general idea of what I would like to run, with enough interest. I'm planning it be fairly short and with an obvious end point. Then, if people want to continue we can do that too but I would try to run in in small chapters that can be finished and not left to die on the vine as many PbP are apt to do.

Dammit Carl! will probably want to play as a yeoman shamen-with-a-horrible-drinking-problem.  ;D

There will be a custom pantheon (Harn) and we will use converted HarnMaster spells, NOT the magic or rituals from Savage Worlds but, I'm still working out the details on those. We'll use standard Savage Worlds Character creation and you will also choose from an appropriate background which will give you a couple extra skills. Whether you are Jarin or Ivinian will be based on group concensus although there could be a Jarin or 2 in the Ivinian group, 'friggen traitors'.   8)

There is magic in alcohol, duh.
