Game On

Question: You guys tell some pretty freakin' cool stories, and I'd like to be a part of all that. Can I play in your game?

Aww, man, we're glad you like them. :) We are always tentatively open to new players, but there are a few quid pro quos to bring up!

1) You must live in the North Carolina area. At the moment, we're not running any online games, only in-person ones, which means that you'll need to be able to come out to play with us face to face. (Don't worry, we don't always look like insane cake gremlins.) If you'd like to try to sell John on running an online game, you're certainly welcome to try, but you'd have to be a hell of a salesman to overcome his innate dislike of typing and not being able to see gesticulations.

2) You must be able to commit. Not, like, marry us, because we just did that, but we run a pretty constant every-week or every-other-week schedule for our games, and you'd need to be able to show up a great majority of the time. We don't like the plot getting behind because someone doesn't show up enough, or having a cool story element go to waste because the person we crafted it for decided to go to the movies that day. That doesn't mean you don't get to have a life outside of game of course - far from it - but if you want to play in one of our games, make sure you can make the timeslot.

3) You must be able to roll with our house rules. Almost goes without saying, I know, but we use a lot of house rules all over this site, and they're all in force during game. Of course, we love talking about new ideas or mechanics, and even use them sometimes! But if your equilibrium's upset by deviating from the rules as written in the Scion books, we're probably not the group for you.

4) You must get along with the rest of the group. Odds are you will; we're all pretty easy-going people who like a good story, and you probably are, too! Our players are all good friends, some from way back, so it's important that everyone be able to be comfortable and have fun together. This isn't a problem for most people, but it's still a very important point.

And beyond that, there really isn't much in the way of "requirements" (John will come along and correct me any second, I can feel it). Of course, sometimes we have seventeen players and we're running three different games a week and we just can't take on any more, so even if you're rad we may not always have room for you. But you can always email John or me to see if we have room and talk about specifics, and we'll be glad to talk and get to know you.

North Carolina in particular seems to be crawling with Scion players, so I wouldn't be surprised if everyone probably lives here anyway.
