It's been a while since I posted to my own thread!
My game on RPOL is going well, with a three player version of the original F2F game running. It's now time to bring in a new scenario for a new group of people.
Over on RPG Geek we are gearing up for the 2014 PbF Newbie Initiative, which is open to anyone who has never played by forum ON THE GEEK before. Doesn't matter if you've played RPGs anywhere else, as long as you've not really done so on the Geek.
And so I'm going to run a mini-scenario I've thought up based in the same Ancient Stones setting as the previous/current game. The aim is to keep the game to 3 or 4 months. Here's my pitch:
Legend: Ancient Stones
Ancient Wiltshire's Horse Tribes needs Legendary help.
"What history there is lies in carvings. In stone, in wood, in the earth itself, in some cases. Ours is an insular culture where oral histories and religions take precedence.
We praise the Gods of the stream, of the trees, that rock over there. We call on the deities of the Eagles, of the otters, the bears and the salmon for help and guidance. We revere nature in all of its forms and thank them for their bountiful harvest and for allowing us to feed off of them.
The Nomad Horse-Breeders roam the Wiltshire country, but have the sacred area of Avebury, Silbury, Kennet and Woodhenge as their main grounds. Recently they have become insular, more paranoid, and traders have noticed a marked drop in their herd numbers.
The God, Hors (pronounced Horse) is troubled by his herds depletion and the growing strength of certain other darker cults.
As believers in the God Hors, or members of the Hors Cult you have been asked by your Elder to find the Nomads and see if you can help in any way."

Legend: Ancient Stones is my own homebrew setting wrapped around the Legend ruleset.
You don't need anything to join my game, however if you wish to buy the core rulebook then Legend is still available on DrivethruRPG for just $1 / 61pence :

Ancient Stones is set in ancient Wiltshire in a time where both Divine and personal job-based magic is available and cults both good and bad abound. Take the Apache Indians way of living and praising the Gods and combine with other cultures such as the ancient Britains and you get the idea behind my culture.
I am after between 3 and 5 players to join my game and play in the wondrous world that is pre-historic Britain (but with a magical twist).
I will generate characters for you based on your wishes and thoughts for a character, though if you have the core rulebook I am happy to hand-hold you through the process.
This game will NOT include massive amounts of fighting, though any there is can be brutal and life-changing. It WILL use your intellect, cunning, writing skills and imagination! I would appreciate posts every couple of days, but am not looking for works of art here: your posts do not have to rival Shakespeare or Dante, but must help forward the story!
The Legend system is a fairly simple D100 (percentile) based system and I shall be happy to teach you everything you need to know as we play. I look forward to meeting you in my version of history!

So, what do you guys think? I won't reveal my plans for the players in case any of you fancy popping over and playing!
