Hello! Yet another person asking for game recs, if you've the time and inclination. I'm GMing a Dark Matter game that was played real time, now PBP. I was using the old Alternity system, but think it'd be annoying to keep that in PBP. My game is (I hope) a solid mix of investigation and combat. I'd love to find something with dice for randomness and luck. I was considering d20 Modern, but 2 of my players have strong opinions about it not feeling right for the setting. I'd really like your input.
It really depends - the Alternity version of Dark•Matter is a very eclectic piece of work, with several supported styles of play, and what works well for one style of play in PBP may not work well for another. A low key X-Files style investigative drama is one thing; a gonzo action-adventure game about yeti psy-warriors fighting immortal cyborgs from Atlantis is quite another! Can you give me a brief outline of what you’re aiming for?
