Any tabletop gamers around?
Dalillama:
Speaking of play styles in In Nomine, the long-running game I've been in recently reconvened after a lengthy hiatus. I like the opportunity to play a very alien being who still has a valid reason to give a shit about humans and what they do. Specifically, a body-hopping shapeshifter that has no physical needs and is capable of being in more than one place at a time.
I'm currently lying like a rug to some (possibly demonic) police to avoid several of my fellow angels and possibly one of my human allies being arrested on (technically accurate) charges of kidnapping, child endangerment, and a slew of related crimes, using the magically aged body of the aforementioned child to do so, while providing an alibi for another character's absence using a human associate, phoning a distraught friend, and touring Scandinavia with a metal band.

since I've been doing the online college thing, I find my time for sitting down to GAME has mostly evaporated.
mostly.
I'm hoping I can make an event this Saturday.

Hi everyone!
I usually play board games rather than RPGs, but I recently found this card-based RPG on Kickstarter that sounds really cool and that I really want to try!
(Does anybody here have any experience with card-based RPGs?)
This one is called 'Neon Sanctum' and plays in a world that, people tell me, is a bit like a mixture of Shadowrun and Numenora (I haven't actually played any of those) -- it's post-apocalyptic with lots of old technology still around. The current society is controlled by mega-corporations that vie over the control of that technology.
You make your character by choosing skill, item and 'body modification' (for want of better word) cards that help you with skill checks and in combat. If your character is injured, they (temporarily) lose cards. The system looks very easy to learn, yet complex enough for lots of variation.
Now, I don't know if this is allowed -- moderators please tell me if not -- but I'd like to invite people here who are interested in board games or RPGs to check this out! It is very reasonably priced and shipping to the US and UK is free. I'll put the link here, if anybody wants to have a look.
I am not affiliated with the designers, I just think it's a very, very cool idea that deserves to be funded!

I will be switching places with our current DM because he won't have time to prepare adventures for the forseeable future. Gonna run a horror campaign. Has anybody had any experience with the taint system of D&D 3.5? I'm thinking of using it, although probably in a modified version, and would like to hear some opinions about it.

Has anyone here heard of Dusk City Outlaws? I picked up the PDF tier of the Kickstarter (now finished), had a look through the rules, and pitched it to a friend who I thought might be interested - he was on it like a dog with a bone (I've just got back from visiting him, where two nights running we were up until the wee hours discussing when we could get a game startes. When I told him I was home, he told me that he'd been watching preview sessions of the game on YouTube). We were up until some time in the wee hours talking about the game and who we could get in on it.
My only concern is that he's about four hours away from me, as are a fair few other people that I might be playing with. It doesn't require maps or minis, but it does require dice that they don't have, and they also don't currently have a copy of the rules (I showed them the PDFs while I was visiting). Has anyone here had any experience running a game over Skype or similar, with new players and with a GM that's never GM'd before?
Full disclosure: while this really is a question that I have, I've also partly posted this because there's an offer of a free scenario for posting about the game. I'll happily take this down if it's out of line.
