Alrighty, looks like we’ve got a group of fine players so far. If any of you are interested in reading the Blades in the Dark rules PM me on Discord and I’ll give you a look.
I am a pretty experienced TTRPG player, having GM’D and played DnD, Fate, Numenera, etc. I am interested!

It’s good to see a mix of experienced and inexperienced players. Get to witch level quick so you can be ready!
Alright, I think the topic’s been up long enough to ask for availabilities. I’d like to get everyone in the same (discord) room to see what you all want to do, and whether or not any of you would like to run games as well. I’m currently running an online game of Blades in the Dark that will be wrapping in in a week or two, so that’s about my timeline for starting up a new game.
The games I’ve run have usually started at about 8pm EST, how’s that sound for the rest of you? Sunday, Wednesday and Saturday would be doable for me currently. Of course if someone else would like to run a game to accommodate for different people’s schedules be my guest.

Saturday I’d have anywhere from 4-6 hours, Sunday is completely free and I can’t do Wednesday. Provided I’m getting the time right, of course.

For Australian (AEST) people it would be 10am the following day.
Fine for me, being an Aussie, as long as I don’t sleep in…
My best times are Saturday and Fridays. Anytime after 5:00 pm EST works for me.
weekends work as well for me (EST)
Let’s meet this weekend Saturday 8pm EST in Purgatorio so we can talk about what we’d like to do. I’d say 3-4 hour sessions is what we’d be aiming for. I want to discuss what system we’re wanting to try, how frequently we’d have sessions, and just generally talk about expectations for the game. It’s kinda like a session zero. I look forward to seeing you all there

Sounds good to me. I have been reading the Blade in Dark rules slowly, and I do think it is a great system for intrigue and deception- which is perfect for a Umineko-esque game.

That’s 2 am for me, so no. But don’t let that stop you, I’m currently in another campaign, so I don’t know if I’d want to start a different one anyway.
That time thingy is hard. It’s 0:07 in my country, so how much hours is the difference?
You’re four hours behind me, so it would be 6am for you. If we need to bump the time back a couple hours to accommodate people I’m all for it.
That’s unfortunate, I’m hoping we’ll have people willing to run at other times.
6 am is too early for me, I always sleep at that time hehe…
Reminder:
Meeting at 8pm EST Saturday (today) to talk about what we want to organize. I hope to see all of you there~

I’m interested! And it’s 8 PM, so literally perfect timing haha.
FYI: don’t make me a GM unless you want everyone to die.
Good discussion today guys, it’s looking like we’ve got a good group for some mystery solving and social intrigue.
We’ve decided we’re going to try some 07th themed mysteries, most likely in episodic format. I will be GMing to begin with starting next week (hopefully), and now that we have a better idea of what we want to do i’m going to hunt down a system that works for what we want.
For those of you who weren’t there, we’re looking at playing an improv mystery where we create red truths as we go and try to figure it all out at the end, maybe in a Ep4 Tea Party style climax where we figure out what the truth really is. In order to do this I think hacking an existing system will suit our purposes. So far the most relevant systems are;
InSpectres
Blades In The Dark
OVA
Dogs in the Vineyard
and all of the Gumshoe systems
From what I’ve read of Gumshoe it seems to be the best fit, the part I’m stuck on is mechanizing Red truths into the game. We may have to just agree on Red Truths to use as a group rather than properly mechanizing it but if anyone has any fun ideas feel free to throw them into the mix.
I’m going to work on creating a hack for Gumshoe and see what i can come up with, I should have something in a couple of days to share with you all.
Edit: Alright, I have a thing. Give me some feedback everyone.
