We just finished our first "session" of the game, and we're looking to add another couple of players to our group for Session 2. You do not need to be familiar with the system, and I have all the character creation data in the game page itself.

This is a modern horror campaign with elements of psychological thriller and eldritch horror, set in Charlottesville, Virginia. Our other players have only just finished their introductory session, and you would not be behind on the plot. No major reveals have happened yet.

Our party is comprised of an anti-government fugitive who dabbles in alchemy, a young mechanic who is learning he has the power to sense and manipulate people's emotions, and a mysterious woman who is surprisingly strong and has an enigmatic past with an organization that profits off of eldritch exploitation.

Some opportunities for character creation (based on what archetypes have not been taken):
A Soldier with lengthy experience in combat
A bloodthirsty Draugr left in the wild to die, who survived only by acts of cannibalism
Test subjects or their children who were given telekinetic powers through unethical experiments
A Bearer of a legendary Weapon
A morally-questionable student of the Occult
A religious adherent whose Faith is True
Gothic horror archetypes like the Werewolf or Vampire

Modified this post to incorporate that we are looking for two players for a total of five.

Is this something that someone new to this site could possibly play? Or would that be too much of a hindrance?

I don't see much of an issue, especially since my other players are pretty experienced. More knowledgeable about the site than me, in a lot of ways.

How about returning players? :) I'd love to pick up PbP again after an unfortunate hiatus.
Based on the archetypes the Legendary Weapon or Occult Student could be fun

We've got one interested in the Occultist already, but no one for Weapon Bearer yet. Are you willing to keep up a minimum of 5 minutes of Gamers Plane activity per day? Occasional exceptions, of course. I want to make sure this game keeps moving.

Thank you for the reply. I was invited to a D&D game and I'm much more familiar with that system, so I'm going to play that as my first game here to get used to things. This does sound like an interesting game though! Thanks.

Then I follow up - is there still a player you are looking or are you full already?

If there's room, I'd also love to join. Eyeing the bloodthirsty left-for-dead Draugr.

Sorry guys, I think I've found who we need.
