3:16 CARNAGE AMONGST THE STARS

3:16 CARNAGE AMONGST THE STARS

“I’ve lost feet, fingers, ribs, friends, enemies, Sergeants, Corporals, sanity and enough blood to fill a swimming pool back home twice over. So don’t tell me about losses, Lieutenant. Don’t.”

—Trooper Dog

“Corporal, I believe your squad is the one with ‘Trooper Dog’ in it. He insulted me this morning when I asked him to search for my lost pet pig. He is an insolent upstart and a psychopath if his medical records are to be believed. Put him on Point Duty and see if you can lose him in some hell hole somewhere.”
—Lieutenant Frinks

“Good job, Dog. This food is fuckin’ A. I love the taste of bacon in the morning.”

—Corporal Torres

In 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars you plays members of the elite 3:16th Expeditionary Force. 

This military force left Terra over 10,000 strong many years ago with an explicit mission: fight, and defeat, everything in the Universe that you can find. Alien civilizations, intelligences and life of any kind are to be wiped out to protect the people home on Terra. Threats are to be neutralized at their source. 

You are humanity's only hope for survival. Don't fuck up.

                                                                                                                       

WHO AM I: My name is Jez Gordon, I run a blog over at gibbletblizzard.blogspot.com. Same name on Google+, black n white pic is of a scruffy looking fella in sunnies.

WHEN I'M RUNNING: I'll be running it every second Tuesday, with the first game on Tuesday 28th February at the following times:

NZ (UTC+13 at the mo) 8pm-11pm

LA (UTC-8) 12am-3am 

NY (UTC-5) 3am-6am

UK (UTC) 7am-10am

JPN (UTC+9) 4pm-7pm

SYD (UTC+10) 6pm-9pm

CHARACTER REQUIREMENTS: Not much really. It ain't a FLAILSNAILS game (you wouldn't want to put your precious in here), but anyone is welcome to join at any time; fresh meat for the grinder. New players create their characters at the start of the session; it takes less than 5 minutes to make a 3:16 character, and probably just a little longer to explain the core rules of the game.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT: A shitload of killing. This is a war story after all, and a lot of the dead will be on your side. It's a story game, and some creative player input is expected; keeps me on my toes which I like. Players have a limited amount of narrative control, but it's a precious resource and runs out all too quick. You will most likely die. But you'll die laughing.

Drawing Back the Veil

Title: Drawing Back the Veil

GM: +Ian Wheat (https://plus.google.com/u/0/106423294933249271024 and http://www.ianwheat.net)

When: Tuesday, 21st February at 20:30 CST (02:30am GMT) (meeting either every other week or every week, depending upon player availability and interest after the first session)

Where: G+ Hangout

Rules: Savage Worlds

# Of PCs Needed: 4-6 total (already have 1 committed and 1 possible)

This is the beginning of a modern-world (one just like ours, only different) game using the Savage Worlds (read: easiest system ever) rule set.

The PCs will be just discovering that there's another world out there--magic, demons, creatures from other planes. Inquiring minds will be investigating, or running from, or fighting supernatural threats to the mortal realm.

The game will be set in a slightly fictional version of Glasgow, Scotland. PCs may form or join a sort of team or society or agency that investigates/fights/flees/researches supernatural, magical, occult etc happenings.

I run very player-driven games, following their interests more than my own designs. The first session will include some time to explain the Savage Worlds rules. Players committing to the game ahead of time will be provided with plenty of information to build characters from and I will be available on G+, GTalk, or email to help guide character creation.

Feel free to contact me with any questions about the game, setting, or rules.

(Sorry, neither Savage Worlds nor my game world lend themselves to the FLAILSNAILS convention.)

Beneath The Tower of Zordaz

Hi, my name is Nicolò Maioli (aka Il Male™, author of The Yaqqothl Grimoire blog [http://theyaqqothlgrimoire.blogspot.com/]). Last summer I started working on a Megadungeon named The Tower of Zordaz, and I started a new blog [http://towerofzordaz.blogspot.com/] to host the project. Now I feel ready for a play-test of my work. I'll run the game on Sunday, February the 5th from 9.00 pm till 11.00 pm (UTC+1), that is 3.00 pm till 5.00 pm (EST.) The game is open to three players, not FLAILSNAILS (you'll need to bring a brand new 1st level character, native of The Black Barony), using by the book Moldvay's Basic/Labyrinth Lord (although 1st level Clerics will have no spells.)

Please note that you'll be required to speak slowly and loudly during the game, and possibly to be patient toward me, for English is not my native language. Also, I will decide whether or not turning this into a regular campaign depending on how this session goes, so consider it a one-shot. My name on Google+ is Nicolò Maioli (my avatar is the cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures album), and my e-mail is malsetto[at]gmail[dot]com.
