FoD PBF
Fury of Dracula Play By Forum Waiting List
Introduction
Fury of Dracula is a popular semi-cooperative game by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) that lends itself well to the Play By Forum (PBF) option in a similar way to Battlestar Galactica for which many games have now been played going back to March 2009. The first Pbf game of FoD has now concluded and as others have expressed an interest in further games, this page has been set up to serve as a waiting list in a simlar way as that for BSG and is adapted from the wiki page for that game. All games will be played in this forum: Play By Forum
If you are interested in playing a game of FoD by forum, please post your name below. General requirements are that you own a copy of FFG's Fury of Dracula and that you can check in at least once or twice a day once your game starts. Only card titles will be distributed as FFG has requested no actual text be posted (thus the reason to own the game). Other specific requirements will be outlined at the start of the game and may change from moderator to moderator. Entry into a game is on a first come, first serve basis. And while we will try to accommodate everyone that wants in a game, we reserve the right to end this at anytime.
If you are interested in moderating a game, please note that below. Obviously, anyone can go and start their own moderated games and set it up however they want.
FAQ
There is an FAQ at Fantasy Flight's site, but this has not been updated since 2006 and other questions have arisen since then. To help with this an unofficial FAQ has been created here, which moderators may choose (or not) to take guidance from. I would suggest that moderators read this and indicate in the initial post when starting a PBF game whether the list will apply or whether certain rulings will be different to those included in the list.
How To Add Your Name
- Click on the "Edit" link at the top of this article.
- Add the following two lines to the BOTTOM of the list before the "|}" code):
- |-
- | "YOUR USERNAME" || "LIST OF PREFERENCE CODES" || "LIST OF STATUS CODES"
- Replace the text in "CAPS" with your specific information. Do not add the " mark (or just follow the example above you).
- CODES can be found below.
- At the bottom of the webpage, note the "Edit Summary" description, such as "Added Name" or "On Vacation"
- If you are currently playing in a game, you cannot get back on the list unless your current game has reached 4 on the Vampire Track. Once that happens, you may get back in line, but please mark "#" and the "game number" behind your name. To be fair to everyone, we ask that you play in only one game at time.
- When a game gets started, a moderator will invite the first several names until a game fills. Once that game starts, those names that accepted will be removed from the list and everyone else will move up. Names will also be removed from the list for too many declined invitations.
- There is a record of the edits on this page so we know who may be cheating!
- NOTE: Since people can update this list simultaneously, it is possible that your name may not appear. Please verify it is on the main page before you leave.
- NOTE: If you are a new user or not a regular user, please set your GeekMail notifications to forward messages to your regular email address. The list has the potential to clear very fast at random times and you will be bypassed if you do not respond within a timely fashion. Instructions on forwarding GeekMail. When GeekMails are forwarded, the subject line will start with "[BGG]" followed by the subject of the GeekMail. Please make sure your spam filter allows e-mails with "[BGG]" in the subject line.
Removing Names
Since anyone can edit this page, we ask that only moderators update the status of 'other' players. This edit should be limited to removing players who started in your game and those who decline the invite. A first decline gets marked with an * but stays on the list in the same position. A second decline gets ** and is moved to the bottom of the list. A third decline gets deleted from the list.
So an added name should show the user added with a history of that user adding the name. Any deletion should show the moderator name with a larger update. If anything looks suspicious, it will be corrected by a moderator.
Notations on the List
Preference Codes
- E - Prefers a "European" Time zones game
- A - Prefers an "Asian/Pacific" Time zones game

Multiple character preferences may be listed in descending order. Players who have already had a game as Dracula are encouraged to let others pick him first.
Status Codes
- * - ignored one invitation. If a 2nd invitation is ignored, they will move to the bottom of the list.
- ** - ignored two invitations. If a 3rd invitation is ignored, they will be removed from the list
- # - Currently playing, will be bypassed if still playing when the next game starts
