Hey gang!
I've been wanted to get one of these posted for a while, because I know a lot of us are big on our tabletop/P&P gaming using the various mediums of the internet. It's a big part of the community so far as I can see, so I figured it's about time someone paid it notice.
Think of this like an index we can use to LFG and LFM for these games. I'm not sure if it'll take off, but I figured it'd be a nice thing to have.
DMs of CotH, I give you a template:
If you're just starting or thinking about starting a game, then this template might help you pull people together. If you're interested in running or joining an RPG, then you can register interest in this thread.
I suppose I'll get started!
DM: Sol
Players: @Rowgen, @Lendri, @mimloopen, @Zhaei, @aroes, @Piken
System: Only War (Fantasy Flight Games)
Setting: Warhammer 40,000
Genre: Military science fiction with a healthy seasoning of survival horror.
Style: Largely action-driven but relatively combat-light, as we often find ourselves with problems we can't simply shoot our way out of. Tend to be inclined towards flexibility with the rules to prioritise narrative.
Status: On standby. Waiting to find a good time to restart after a long break.
Medium: Skype
Recruiting? Full, I'm afraid. Six is a difficult-sized group to manage.
When? Whenever enough people are online, free and want to play, usually. Flexible.
Synopsis (optional): Dredged from the depths of an ancient penal colony, a crack team of hardened convicts are deployed into the ruined capital of a rebellious sector in a do-or-die mission of sabotage and reconnaissance. Poorly supplied and not expected to survive, they soon discover that there is more to this treasonous world than meets the eye, and that evil lurks in its long shadows . . .
I'll start listing people's templates in the main post as they appear and once I figure out a way to organise them neatly.
Take it away, guys.

DMs of CotH, I give you a template:
Spoiler:
DM: This should be obvious. You should only be posting one of these if you're running the game yourself. :P
Players: List the people who're participating in the game as players over here.
System: The core set of rules you're utilising to run this, perhaps with notations for any supplements or houseruling you might be using, i.e. FATE, GURPS, D&D 3.5, so on.
Setting: The world, 'verse or campaign setting your game is taking place in, i.e. Shadowrun, World of Darkness, Eberron, etc.
Genre: This might seem obvious, but you can run a lot of different kinds of games even within seemingly prescriptive and predetermined systems. If your game was a book, movie or a computer game, what genre would best describe it to help others get a feel for what goes on? Consider this as a way of selling it to people who may not be immediately familiar with the setting or system.
Style: Do you prioritise combat or intrigue? Action or narrative? Crunch or fluff?
Status: Is your game preparing to start, running actively at its scheduled or agreed-upon times, on standby or hiatus for any reason or unlikely to start again?
Medium: Do you play via Skype? Roll20? Some other third-party medium?
Recruiting? Here you can denote whether there are any spots free in the game and whether there's room for new people to join.
When? This is where you note down your scheduled game time, if you have one. Use Server Time for convenience's sake.
Synopsis (optional): Again, if it was a book, write a short blurb so people can get an idea of what kind of story you're telling.
