Player interest query

[tel]

I've spent the past day or so looking over the Vorkosigan sourcebook, and I was wondering if there was any online interest in a Vorkosigan campaign. I would be willing to run one. I do have an offline gaming group that does play one-shots like this, but they normally play, er, simpler oneshots. This could be via chat, on Livejournal/Dreamwidth, or on OpenRPG, or play-by-email, or any other venue players might prefer.

I understand there used to be a Vorkosigan RPG on livejournal that was more the classic livejournal RPG style, with people playing their versions of canon characters and interacting with each other. I'm not really looking to do that. What I'm interested in starting is more like the online analogue to a pen and paper RPG campaign, with players playing original characters within the universe. The game would have a defined endpoint/goal and would be small (preferably 3-5 players or so).

This would not -necessarily- be using the GURPS Vorkosigan system (edit: I'd likely be using PDQ, don't worry if you've never played it, it's very simple). Would there be interest in that sort of thing?

(edit: Tentative initial scenario would be Betan survey personnel captured and secretly held without contact with the outside world on Barrayar, reason unknown to them. This would be set during the approximate timeframe of Shards of Honor/Barrayar. Player characters could be from any advanced planet on decent terms with Beta Colony (I have a set of customizable pre-gens that includes a Jacksonian and an Escobaran) and there'd be opportunities to play (male) Barrayaran military characters as well.)

I may be interested in playing.

I would be interested in playing (four hours every two weeks is something I think I can fit in my schedule) and it sounds like fun. I've never played online before nor the GURPS or PDQ system.

Scheduling may be an issue - I'm in New Zealand and I'm not sure what timezone you were planning to play in...

Yes, timezones are often a problem. I'm Pacific Time so it's not as bad as it could be, but still. If there's a lot of people in different time zones, possibly a compromise weekend time could be worked out? Weekdays are probably out with that sort of time difference.

Weekends are probably best. I have too much on to do weeknights, anyway.
