I'd like to take another swing at this. The last one disentegrated before getting off the ground. Check out the one sheet I'd like to use here: ...

... Other takers? I've got one. Maybe two more would be great, but even one would be enough. I was a bonehead and altered my e-mail address in the last one...
Hi there; new to the list. I've been absolutely dying to play Universalis, and wondered if anyone else has been feeling the same, lately? I'd like to gauge...
I'm interested... I just bought the new Universalis book last week (it's my first edition, though), and I'm dying to try it out. Let me know more details! ...
... It's been a while since I've done a PBEM with any kind of system... feeling like trying it again, and liking the time limit idea. I'm in. -- Travis S....
... Ok, I'm interrested. But a) I don't have the book and b) can't post more than 3-4 short posts (read: half a page). Is it going to solve itself, or should...
Great to see some people interested! Martin, I'm not sure I understood your post. You say you don't have the book--have you heard anything about Universalis...
... Yeah, I know what Universalis is. And well, I think this'll go in a little too high speed for me to keep up with, so I'm droping off now. I'll test it at a...
I also would be interested, assuming it was done with some kind of VOIP like Skype, Teamspeak, Ventrillo, or something similar. If it's email only, not so much...
I've never done any sort of VOIP before... my laptop has a built in microphone, is that all we'd need? It's certainly something I'd never considered before....
Yeah, voice chat is the bomb. Using ventrilo would be cool... It's really easy to run on a local comp (and connect using an IP instead of a server address). ...
Yes, coordination of schedules is the main thing - but VOIP gaming is just like tabletop or FTF, just virtual. :-) A $15 headset with microphone is useful for...
Well, I'm certainly not going to go out and buy a microphone just for a game, but if my laptop's microphone will work with a VOIP, then that's certainly an...
Another body here interested in playing, I've played Uni for 10 or so sessions of a couple of different games, so I've got a reasonable grip on the rules. I'd...
Well, it sounds like theirs a couple people who feel that VOIP (Voice gaming) will be an issue for them, so probably this forming Universalis game may not be...
Yeah, it looks like scheduling is going to be too much of an issue. Those who are still in: I'll email you privately and we can get started working out the...
I'm interested in the limited PBEM version. Its hard for me to find time to do VOIP though it sounds very cool. I hosted the last two (three?) play by post...
I think I'd prefer wiki or message board to actual email play. We've used mediawiki for PBeM games (is there another word for PBeM that doesn't have email in...
I am going to assume then that this Universalis game will not be VOIP and see about recruiting for an indoe VOIP game of some kind. -Benn _____ From:...
That looks like it would work well. I once ran an online campaign for two years using forums. I believe the term for this is Play by Post or Play by Web...
I would really love to do PTA. I have the book, but I'm having a hard time imagining how it would play out in Email format. I would love to try it, ...
OK, it looks like I will be testing the waters for a VOIP game. I figure we will play once a week for 3-4 hours, possibly less, possibly more depending on...
... Hi John. Do you have a set of rules for converting Universalis to PBEM? In the past in other asynchronous formats (mainly posting to wiki), we've found it...
I sent out the following post under the wrong subject heading, am now resending it with the correct heading. Please delete the other one. Thanks. ... OK, it...
Indeed, I have given a great deal of thought to it. I'm Sovem over on the Forge, so you might have seen me asking questions there. I read the very detailed...
... Yep, that was me. ... Sounds like you have it in hand. Just didn't want you to start, and find that there were all sorts of problems. Good Luck, Mike...
