Hello! I am new to PbP (read: never played before and learned what it is a month or two ago) but I would really like to learn. I have played TTRPGs at the table with folks, but I think with my creative writing background I'd really enjoy both playing in and running games this way.

My goal is to eventually run some games through my Discord to playtest a setting I'm working on, with the use of threads in private playtest channels to separate the different items to keep track of (if this is done differently in other servers I'm all ears).

I would love to try playing in a short game run using Discord so I can actually understand how this works and how to do it myself down the line. I would be forever grateful to anyone willing to let me give it a try for a day or week, or be a lurker in their campaign. :)

I am not posting this in the weekly thread because I don't know exactly what I am looking for/what would be best for me in terms of going about this. If it is better over there though please let me know!

Thanks in advance!!

This is my very first ever completed and published game!

After falling in love with the Mother Road in 2023 on a family reunion trip down to Illinois, I felt there should be a goofy improv game in her honor. Atomic 66 is that game, and is now available to download and play! This year is also the 100th birthday of Route 66, so pack a Magic 8-Ball to be your guide and see where the road will take you!

I have been working on a horse-centric Fate setting called Dark Horse Bay for over 2 years now, and after LOTS of work and a few in-person playtest sessions, I finally have the first beta release out! It has a small-town mystery/kids-on-bikes vibe, just also with horses (which are very compellable creatures by the way).

The setting focuses on young equestrians exploring the island with their equine companions and investigating the strange things happening within their town. As a character, you will grow closer with friends and develop a special bond with your horse as you uncover what lurks within the coastal town of Dark Horse Bay.

I am looking for as many people as possible to play with my toys and see how they break so to speak, especially as I have really had to do lots of studying on Fate mechanics to get to this point (I am better at narrative and writing than mechanics development and balancing). For those wondering, no I did not use AI to write this game, it is the product of banging my head against the wall long enough to make something come out :)

Whether or not you appreciate our equine companions, I would be happy to have you take a look at what I've got so far and let me know what you think. I know Fate already has a "Ride" skill, but I wanted to explore the complexities of the horse and human bond. This game focuses on roleplaying specifically with horses, allowing for training, horse care, competitions, etc. It also has a healthy dose of occult/supernatural/Eldritch themes as well :).

If you are willing to take a look and give some feedback I'd be greatly appreciative, and you can view the documents via this link:

And if you like what you see and are interested in checking out the Discord that goes with it, here is the link to that. I am hoping to eventually facilitate play groups through there and maybe try some PbP:

Thanks for reading along, and I hope you enjoy perusing it!
