Players Wanted

I'm a DM who's been looking for players for over a month now, my system is heavily based on roleplaying so all dice rolling is made by me to prevent cheating.
The world is about politics and war, the battles are done by thousands of troops and the players are responsible for their success and failure.

    Just a thought "all dice rolling is made by me to prevent cheating." tells me (if i were a potential player) that we are starting out on this relationship under the assumption that you don't trust me to be honest. That's a turn off, and i could find other games to play that have a more positive initial atmosphere. You may wish to rethink your stance on that for the sake of team building. After all a role playing game is a group activity, not you being the warden for a bunch of criminals. Also consider playing on Roll20, its online and lets you see dice rolls.

    It's just that I've had so many cheaters in the past, it's nothing personal but it's just to make sure. I hope you understand.
    I have tried Roll20 but because it's still in Beta it has a few problems.

    Wow! I just can't imagine even thinking of playing in a game where I could not throw my own dice. Good luck with that!

    There are a whole lot of dice rollers out there, rather than having the dm roll everything.

    So yeah that about sums it up, it don't matter whether any of us understand, you've got an obstacle in your way to gaming. Not telling you what to do one way or the other but if i were a potential player, major turn off. Sounds like the same vibe is going all around.

    I agree with Twiggs but if you want to put a positive spin on it - you could sell it as an old school game or total role play immersion technique.

    I remember my first DM way back all those years ago rolled everything behind the screen and the only thing the players did was to state an action. In truth though in the modern age of gaming I don't think many folks would want to gdo this old school method for a prolonged period of time.

    Well, I guess you could take it as a total roleplaying game with no dice. Pretty much the only thing that I do anyway is to see how characters interact(NPC's) how some battles are gonna work, politics etc.
