00024 my gaming groups and how they like to communicate 2024-04-17
  • The VULCAMINOS gang. Disbanded and then reformed over the past +10 years. Initially communicated via facebook group. Now SMS text only. The only regular face-to-face, in person game I play. Biweekly ~5 hour session, but a large chunk of that is dinner and social time.

  • The BEEKEY BLINDERS gang. Discord text for chatter, discord audio/viodeo for playing. Traditionally a lot of Roll20 for vtt, but lately Foundry. I have met all these people irl. Regular weekly 2 hr.

  • The LANTERNLIGHT gang. Friends from .town and beyond. Chatter on discord, play on zoom. Regular weekly ~4hr game.

  • The CAMPAIGNWIKI gang. Based out of Switzerland. Experimental play-by-post game happening over irc and nntp. Otherwise discord audio. Chatter on irc / discord.

  • The BASEMENT QUEST gang. On hiatus. A gang of people from tilde.town / the basement. Communicates via irc. Plays via email.

  • SEAN'S GANG. A loose group of gamers and designers. Predominantly UK based. All text, all discord. Mostly slow paced play-by-post. Sometimes concentrated bursts of live text games such as during LTLT and OHOS games.

  • The PERILOUS gang. Long dormant Troika! play-by-post gang. Started by andy for a game of Acid Death Fantasy. After he left the group, we played a series of adventures featuring mostly the same characters. Also home of the cult classic Dome Riders game. All text, all discord.
