Joined up the other day (to, admittedly, pile onto an RP here run by an acquaintance from elsewhere). Introductions are always a bit fun for me o figure out, but here we go.

I've been roleplaying for years now, although I'm far more used to doing chat-based things where sessions meet once a week, than doing forum-based things. I can keep up with forums well enough, but I am really bad at running forum games compared to chat ones, simply because the difference in pacing really throws me off. It's a lot harder to move things forward when i need to wonder how long to wait for others to post, versus assuming they aren't going to. Though I hear the answer is "just post more as a GM" in that case.

I tend to like scifi RPs more than traditional fantasy. Cyberpunk, space adventure, and similar things get my attention more than typical fantasy adventure, whether that be dungeon crawling or whatever else. I think I'm a little burnt out on Urban fantasy or whatever they call the stuff set in modern day with supernatural things everywhere. Which isn't to say it's a bad genre, it's just usually not compelling to me, particularly if it's set up like Vampire: the Masquerade or similar. I tend to like games with some amount of plot and which aren't too fast-paced, because I usually only manage a couple posts in a week. I'm a grad student; I can easily end up busy.

As far as other things go, I did mention chat-based stuff, and there, I'm used to systems and rolling dice. So, I'm not averse to such things. I'm familiar with Pathfinder, D&D 4th edition, Shadowrun, Mutants and Masterminds (2nd and 3rd editions), Exalted, and several other systems. I'm not usually one for fandom-based things, unless it's just borrowing the setting and playing our own characters and story. I can't really wrap my head around playing an established character, and would worry my interpretation is somehow "wrong".

For hobbies outside of roleplaying, I play video games, watch anime, build models, and draw.

@Vega7285 Welcome to the guild!

Yeah, pacing can be a bitch. If you've got a good group, it typically isn't an issue-- but all it really takes is one or two people who don't care to scramble everything and turn it into a headache. -__-;

But anyways, yeah. Welcome and all that. Hopefully you enjoy your stay!

"Hey there..."

"How you doing?"

"Welcome to the guild, few things to tell you."

First rule of the guild is
-Be Fonz Cool

If somebody is giving you grief or just being strange don't be afraid to report them cuz they are not being Fonz Cool

If anybody other than me offers you food do not accept it. I am the most trustworthy person on the site when it comes to food and drinks.

Watch out for the odd animals such as the little monkey with a diaper on, there are several others to watch out for and you will recognize them if you see them usually

Welcome to the guild though and feel free to shoot any questions my way, I should be able to help you out if you need it.
