Hey all, I'm starting up a Burning Wheel campaign and need some players

- This is a campaign that will be using voice, likely skype, at least for the moment.
- We'll be using Burning Wheel's inherent fantasy theme, but we'll talk about setting and tone, probably first session.
- Sessions will be sometime during the week, but exactly when and how often is open.
- If you're coming to it new, I'm happy to teach, but be a little patient. There is a learning curve to get over but it's entirely worth it.

For those unfamiliar, Burning Wheel is a game motivated by character ambitions and tends to build a story closer to fantasy novel than a D&D campaign. It is story-focused game, but it's reinforced by a strong system which works beautifully.

If you're interested or have questions reply, pm or email me at SanguineEschaton@gmail.com

I have been wanting to try out burning wheel, but i'd rather not use voice.

I might also be tempted to try it based on game times and days. I would prefer a non voice game as well. Mainly its just quieter at night when I usually play and I like the character description and interaction from a text based game vs a voice one. saving the logs is a nice benefit too.

Hm.

I've tried pure text before, but it always seems to have a distinct slow-down, losing some of the great momentum and spontaneity of roleplaying, as well as some of the general focus of the group. Maybe it was just an unlucky experience, but it's why I'm doing voiced, barring something significant changing.

Do either of you (or anyone else) know if there's any way to solve that slow-down?

When I tried voice, there was more slow-down. There was constant ooc, and people were awkward, whereas text is just like reading a book.

That's a fair point, vash. Awkwardness will definitely be a problem, but I'm hoping that it will be worth the awkwardness, if we can move past it.

I'm taking a shot at voice this time and if I decide to make an all-text game, I'll post here again.
