Ok so the other day I casually mentioned on this https://intosanctuary.com/index.php?topic=5784.0 thread that I'd be interested on running a Virtual tabletop RPG campaign on Sundays, and it seems like some people are interested, so in order to do that we need to determine a couple of things.
Schedule: So if I'm to GM it would need to be on Sunday that's for certain, but there are people in different timezones so we have to decide which would be a good hour to start & to stop, my RPG group tends to go hard, we normally play for at least 7 hours straight but I don't think you guys will want that, so it'd be good to see what the consensus is.
System/setting: So I'm fine with doing D&D 5e since I'm familiar with that but I'm also familiar with Nuemnéra, Pathfinder & D&D 5E to some extent, I also like Sci-Fi better than fantasy, so I'd also be willing to run Starfinder, Shadowrun, Stars without numbers and even Battletech, I'm also familiar with Old School D&D so if people want to do an OSR megadungeon that would be fine too, and I'm also willing to learn new systems such as Call of Cthulu, Burning Wheel, Etc.
Might be worth mentioning that I'm also familiar with Legend of the 5 Rings and I love it, but I don't feel confident in my ability to run that because I'm not that into Japanese culture and I really don't understand them so I don't think I'd be able to run that.
Format: I would very much prefer a pre-written campaign or a megadungeon but mostly what I want to discuss is virtual tabletop platform, I'm thinking Roll20 since it's fairly popular and supports most systems, I could also do Tabletop Sim since I do have that, but I would like to know the preference, and also Voice chat, look I know some people are nervous or not comfortable with their voices but it makes the whole thing faster, tabletop RPGs take a long time and voice chat simply makes information flow faster and it would simply be more convenient, I'd be willing to try text only but I really do feel like that would be too slow so I would prefer if we have voice chat.
It's also worth mentioning, that we might be wanting to start with a short campaign that lasts between 1 to 3 sessions before seeing if people actually want to do a months long campaign.
