Icon System (LUG)
Coda System (Decipher)
Registered User
I noted in my thread int the Gaming Hub "Play-by-forum games" that I want to run a forum game on this site. Some of the people who indicated interest are clamoring for Coda, but the last time I ran an online game with Coda, only one person in the game owned the system! It was a nightmare converting everyone's characters and teaching the rules.
So my question is this: of people who would be interested in this sort of thing, what system, ICON or CODA, do you think I should use?

I voted CODA because I find the system more easier than ICON (and I own CODA too).
Of course, I'm aware that more people may own ICON.

I'd go with CODA, many more people own the rulebooks. Once you learn the basics its easier to run IMO than ICON. And since your starting from the beginning, start with CODA since new stuff will come out (someday).

Okay, the overwhelming vote is for Coda. Coda it is then... be warned though that at the moment I only have access to the Player's Guide... I'll order the Narrator's guide from Decipher first chance I get.
For those of you expressing continuing interest in the forum game, the series concept I've created for it is now online... go to this thread and see if you like it:
