Ended up going ahead and making a Tabletop RPGs forum, I'll see if it gets any traction.

I had downloaded all the Rifts books hoping to play one day. I only played once when I was a kid and it was a star wars themed one. I was a wookie that had to have a translator with me to communicate with people, and the translator died, so I just trusted my instinct and bashed skulls in when it seemed appropriate. My team-mates turned on each-other when one turned out to be sith in disguise, and I didn't know who to fight and just died from the attack.

I've always wanted to play more, but never did as I never really met too many people that played after that experience.

I'd be interested in the forum, and I like the scenario you described! I hate the on-rails politics of video games, and tabletop RPGs could have some real Anarchy!

I kinda like the idea of organizing a raddle RPG group but that might make it hard to preserve anonymity/privacy

Like, we could do it all through some libre and secure voice chat software (not really sure what the options are there), but even then I'm not sure how okay people are with talking to other raddlers over voice chat. And while it's possible to run an RPG entirely over text, it's very difficult and not nearly as fun.

So I guess for now that goes in the "seems cool but probably not gonna happen" box.
