(We will be using the Pathfinder ruleset. If you played 3.5 Dungeons and Dragons, you're experienced enough. Head to www.d20pfsrd.com to read the Serial Reference Document in case you need anything. PM me if you have any questions.)

You're high school students in Canada. After registering for beta-testing for an MMORPG, a mysterious corporation grants you access to a strange virtual reality MMORPG. However, things are not as they seem to be.

This will rely on roll20.net for close-to-instant messaging, and we will be using Skype for voice-chat at the same time.

Rules to understand before posting yes.

1. Unlike forum threads, we will be all online at a specific time (Thursday, 2pm onwards, +8 GMT, for at least 6 hours.) If you wish to join, you must be available for at least 6 hours at that time, every week. (At most, every 2 weeks.)
2. You must have Skype and be willing to use the voice-call function. Even if you do not have a microphone or do not wish to speak, you have to at least listen to the Skype chat.
3. You must be fluent in English.
4. You'll need an account on roll20.net (Not against the rules since roll20.net does entirely different things compared to RPGuild)
5. I'll tell you the specific character creation rules once I get interest.

Fair warning, the Tabletop board isn't very active to start with, and if you're putting in a requirement for actually chatting over skype and having a set block of time, you're almost ensuring that you won't find enough people to play, especially since you've basically excluded anybody who has school or a job thanks to the time slot you've chosen.

Not much of a choice for me.

Well, the other option is to find a way to do it over a forum format instead of during live sessions. I imagine that many of us who use this site do so because it allows us to RP when we have available time, those of us who are able to set aside a dedicated block of time for regular tabletop RPG sessions usually have such things going on with people they know and can meet IRL.

Just saying, if you're trying to do something with a live format over here, you may struggle with getting it off the ground.

As I mention, not much of a choice.

I suppose I'm unclear as to how you wouldn't have a choice to simply not play in live sessions, but instead over forum posts when people would have an easier time fitting responses into their schedule.

Actually I do understand. I live in an area that I don't have any table-top pen and paper gaming people. I know a few that play, and are very into it, but I don't have a solid, organized way to get things moving. Something like Roll20 is much more ideal these days.

However, the timeslot is a real pain. Where I live, is -6:00 GMT, which means that your gametime would start at 4 AM. 5 AM in the East coast here in the States. 2 AM in Pacific/West Coast time. Most Americans are in bed at that time. Now, for people in say the UK, that's not as bad, though it would be in the morning there, and might not be ideal for those that are going to school or are working a 9-5 job.

Were it not for the timeslot I might be interested.

Edit: I got my math wrong
2 pm (@ +8 GMT)... That means it's 6 AM GMT. @ -6 GMT (Central Time in America) that means it's Midnight. Doable, but I dunno how many people would be on for six hours at that time.
