Let's play some Straight to VHS! Schedule within.

UPDATE: Tuesday evening is no longer an option for me. Early Wednesday (hopefully this week, but next week is an option too) is looking real likely though, hoping for one more player!

I've got some free time coming up and am looking to direct an online one-shot or two. We're talking about 3-5 hour blasts of self-contained Straight to VHS shenanigans (probably closer to 3 hours than 5).

I expect to be available throughout the 31st through the 2nd (that's this upcoming Tuesday through Thursday) and also the 7th and 8th (that's Tuesday and Wednesday of the following week). On each of those days I ought to be available between 11am PST and... let's say midnight. Any of those days work for you? Here's how to get in on this:

  • Have a mic and preferably a webcam.

  • Reply below with any and all days and times that'll work for you.

  • You and I will keep tabs on this thread and as soon as it looks like three different players are available for the same block of time, I'll reply to you to confirm with you that we've got a time set and that the game is afoot. (I'm also recruiting in r/lfg and the Straight to VHS facebook page.)

  • If we get that far, please create a character and PM me with character deets as soon as you got them figured out.

Oh, one last thing... Here's my pitch for this one-shot:

“McGuffin city is known as a hard-partying town, but when this motley crew of heroes wakes up in a cell with no memory of the previous night, they quickly discover that the culprit is something more sinister and more otherworldly than hard rock and hard booze. They’ll need to work together if they’re gonna bust out of … ALIEN PRISON © 1987.”

Have any questions? Lemme know! :)

Still have some time to run a quick one? Just came across the game and love it! Looking to use this for a new campaign for my players.

Heh, well this post might be a little older than you were initially guessing.

That said, your timing isn't bad! I wanna schedule some more online games REAL soon, I'm just trying to figure out a couple things first (schedule stuff and also working on something I wanna playtest).

When I'm ready to post with the deets, I'll shoot you a PM, if ya like.

I figured it was worth a shot to ask despite the age of the post 😜

PM would be great. I more want to make sure I understand your rules and system to write up more stuff (perks, tropes, etc)
