New Player Seeking Online Group

Post by SteelBraxus » Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:13 pm

Hello,

I am a new player to The One Ring. I ordered the Core Rule Book about a month ago and have been reading through it. I have a good grasp on the rules and feel of the game. So far, I absolutely love it! It's so descriptive and I actually really enjoy the abstract nature of the rules.

Regardless, I am having a hard time finding a real life group to play with. I'm a new father, so that eats into a lot of my time as far as being able to plan physical meetings. In addition, I would most likely have to play Loremaster for any group I create in real life, since none of my friends would be up to the task. That creates even more work and eats into more time that I just really don't have currently (at least, not enough to organize meetings on a regular basis and have sufficient content prepared).

My alternative, as you have probably guessed, would be playing online with like-minded individuals! I'm looking to join any online group that might currently be recruiting. I would have to play as a player, not as Loremaster. Are there any groups looking for more people? Or perhaps a potential Loremaster looking to form an online group? Like I said, I own the Rulebook and I know the rules very well. I've been reading them rather obsessively in my free time!

Welcome, SteelBraxus! You've discovered an amazing game system. Best of luck in finding a game to play in (others I'm sure will chime in with a few places where online games are hosted).
Tale of Years for a second, lower-level group (in the same campaign).

Thanks! I'm new to online gaming with Tabletop RPGs, so I'm not sure if this is even the right place to look for a group. I figured it would at least be a good start.

Any information would be great. Thanks in advance!

I know these folks are looking for people:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3294

And lots of people (including me) talked our games up in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2835

Unfortunately, I'm rather full on both my games (with a waiting list) but I can certainly put you on the list, if you like.

You might check out some of the older threads where people throw out lots of options for various platforms and games.

Best of luck! :)

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll try my hand at that group that's possible looking!
