The following active games have abandoned or withdrawn character positions:

You may take over any of these abandoned positions. If you do this, you will be involved in the game immediately (the game has already started, so you don't have to wait). You will also be doing a favor to the other people in the game, by helping to keep the game alive. On the other hand, you may be taking over a character that has already missed one or more turns, or that has otherwise been abandoned for good reason.

New

Add a new game to this list. You can specify the terms of the game, including the number of players; the game will begin as soon as the right number of players have signed up. (This means you can start a game with no waiting, if you tell your friends about it and they sign up immediately.)
