Hey there, the one who look bored by the water cooler, and you, in the basement! Do you want to play a twist at the old GMed tabletop in a completely original setting and plot? Do you want a world that revolves around your character as they make difficult and not so difficult choices that will actually matter and not e rail-rolled into a static script by a machine? Well, you're at the right place!

I'm Mangler, and I propose myself as a GM for either single players looking for a truly customized experience or small groups that want to sit back and have fun as chaos spread around them. I can do a great variety of genres, but first of all I'll tell you what you get yourself into if you state your interest here or via PM:

- CUSTOMIZATION: You can directly tweak the path of the story with your actions, and I'll adjust accordingly.
- SETTINGS: You want something relaxing? Something full of action? You want no Bad End or lots of them? Heck, you can even request the type of reward and level-up system you want before we start!
- NPCS: I take care of the minor and supporting characters, crafting a hopefully vibrant cast of NPCs so that the whole game won't be your character alone in a room or something.
- FLEXIBLE HOURS: While I will try to respond within 24 hours of your post, I am happy to discuss with you if you want longer but less frequent posts, or to be understanding if you got to be out of town for a few weeks or something.

Much more will be made available to you depending on the plot you choose, so feel free to ask and suggest! Currently, I'm both taking plot ideas to review and proposing the following plot bunnies:

Sibling Duties: As it turns out, your estranged parents decided to go on a honeymoon and left the siblings you did not even know you had on your doorstep. Now, how to manage life as a working adult with a eight years old child depending on you? This may take a while to figure out, but you do know that you got a year to be the best older sibling in the world... that is if you ever want to see the kid again!

Stealing the Arabian Nights: You know Aladdin? Well, how do you think you would like it to make your way to riches without a genie? The start is rough, and life is not fair, but the rewards are great and numerous for the clever thief in the sand-swept streets of Agrabah.

Hero from the Farmlands: Here is your chance to rise as a great Medieval Fantasy hero from the humble origins of a mere farm boy. Do you have what it take to be the leader your people need, or will you rise instead as a villainous sorcerer upon the world? Merchant, Knight, Mage, Nobleman, Bandit or Warlock, the options are near endless.

The plots above? They are only the one that were on the top of my head, and many more can be crafted especially for you with some of the following output:
Genres, Main Character Concept, Story or Setting Elements, General Feel, Cravings, Anything that pass your mind!

I'll be taking four games at a time, and as such my slots are limited to:
1 - FREE
2 - FREE
3 - FREE
4 - FREE

This is to limit the waiting time and my chance to burn myself out. :)

Anyways, if you're interested, feel free to apply!

Color me interested, but I have questions.
Having only just registered I may not fully understand how this works. Is this free from or an existing system? Are you leaning towards fantasy or focusing solely on fantasy? I have more questions, but they can wait.

Do feel free to ask :D!

Yes, this is free form, and the genres can be all over the place from modern to fantasy, looping to sci-fi depending on the wanted setting and plot.

Hmmm. I'm not familiar with a systemless system. Is there a ruleset you're using or is it anything goes?
Maybe I'm just not understanding.

I'm CRAZY interested! This sounds amazing. Do you prefer players to have a character already created or would you want to create them together? I've always wanted to do a superhero story (have a character in mind) or a Fantasy story is always a good time :)

@Ironshadow My way of doing things can be one of two ways: We rarely use dice unless it involves luck and instead focus my choice of whether something work or not by the effort and thought/logic put behind each player post OR we first roll a 100 sided dice for each action and then you play out the result. That's up to the player's preference.

@Clanty I'm good with either, actually! I can work with completed character sheets or I can make a sort of prologue/character creation sort of tutorial where the basic lore is outlined along with the bases of the character. Interested? Hit me up with a PM and we'll start looking into a workable setting! :)
