How about you?

What sort of stories/settings are they and how are you finding it?

I am/was playing in three also:
Coldrinnick Manor, which is pulp horror, high on tone, with a good group of people
An Astonishing Adventure, steampunk, also a fun group of people, but we appear to have stalled
Eye of Truth (retired), pulp horror, which I ended up retiring from because it never really gelled as a story--the narrator wanted to give each character a separate story of how we got involved in the horror, but that meant that there wasn't a lot of interaction between us.

Surely other EA folks have joined?

They've all just started this weekend, and are at various points of getting their foothold, but...

"Gods At War" is a fantasy where all of the gods that ever were have been attacked by Yahweh.  Most have been killed a year prior to the action in the story, but a few that were spared originally have now been captured by Yahwehs angels.  I play Pan. https://storium.com/game/gods-at-war (https://storium.com/game/gods-at-war)

"On With The Show" is a steampunky tale of a grand theater, with a mysterious playwrite, airship pirates and scorned ex lovers.  I play Delia Minogue, a fresh faced girl from the farm trying to make her name on the stage. https://storium.com/game/on-with-the-show (https://storium.com/game/on-with-the-show)

"Star Rise" just started, but it's an urban fantasy replete with seers, werewolves, vampires (I hope not sparkly ones) wizards and fey-blooded humans. However, the "specials" are just coming into their uniquness with the arrival of a comet.  I play Lonn, a seer, who prefers woods to people. https://storium.com/game/star-rise (https://storium.com/game/star-rise)

So far so good, I was invited to join another game by one of the charactyers in "OWTS" but that story has a giant cast and I don't think I want to be involved in that level of story yet.

I know we can't be the only ones, benjaminjb!

I was able to find this one, and it looks interesting!  I have wanted to read one that I am not involved in...do you mind if I start here?
