I’d like to run/play a game of Pokerole!

I’d like to run/play a game of Pokerole!

  • The system is still fairly obscure compared to the other Pokemon systems. What we currently lack in player base, we make up for in quality! Try learning to be a Storyteller, and you’ll find a rewarding system with players eager to engage with your world.
  • (If you've never been a game master before, Pokexplorer’s Summer Camp is designed for both people new to the system and Storytelling.)

  • Players: You can post in the #player-directory channel following the template others have set. Storytellers can then find you by scrolling through the directory.
  • Storytellers: You can use the player directory as described above, or you can post your game's description using this template to the #open-games channel. You should ping the “@Looking For Game” role as part of your message as well. Once you've posted your game info, make a thread for people to respond in.

Important Note for Those Interested in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Expansion

Note

  • The Pokemon Mystery Dungeon module was written as an expansion of Pokerole 1.25. Pokerole is currently on 3.0, and no official Mystery Dungeon expansion exists for it (though there is homebrew).
  • Some Mechanics may not play well in PMD, because the 3.0 rules are designed exclusively for trainer games. For example, Logic and Instinct is almost universally ignored by Storytellers.
