Greetings! Whenever talking out of character, I go by "Ben", I'm a dad to a 5 year old, and an aspiring writer. ^_^ I've been involved in roleplaying since, sheesh, Jr. High? I'll be 35 this summer, so, I've been involved in RP, in one system or another, for more than half my life, at this point. You could say I grew up on Homebrews, Rifts, old World of Darkness, and Dungeons&Dragons (but mostly Rifts and other Palladium settings). In more recent years I've played a lot of Pathfinder 1st Ed and 5th Ed D&D (even doing a bit of GMing in the former), with the occasional dabbling in other games like Hollow Earth Expedition, a few additional Palladium settings and even a recent homebrew. I really miss play by post, which I also have experience with, and I really enjoy for the freedom of play and the lack of scheduling issues, since it's whenever I can hop on, usually. I especially appreciate rp as an aspiring writer, since I find that consistently engaging in creative activity helps me maintain a flow of ideas and creative energy for my pet projects as I try to get published!
I really enjoy a variety of post-apocalyptic scenarios, as well as fantasy, science fiction, and combinations thereof. Horror is something I'd really love to explore, since it's a favorite topic of mine to write in graphic novel scripts! I'm interested in learning new game styles (nation role play is something I don't think I've heard of, for example), but more than anything else I have a hankering for some regular roleplaying, preferably with other adults.

Greetings.

Thank you ^_^

OH, I forgot to mention, I'm also open to Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh :P anime inspired stuff in general, but, original preferred these days, since I haven't been following all of what's popular these days

If you want there is a 3.5 DnD play by post in the workings on the Discord. Several of the folks in it (me included) are pretty inexperienced but we have two members (Polymorpheus and Harbinger) who are pretty experienced so it should be smooth sailing.

Only character I know of so far is a gnome. Harb will likely be something like a Tabaxi and while I haven't really decided yet I'll probably end up some variation of a Halfling.

There are often Warhammer RPs being made as well, that might cater better to your interest in Horror. JB tends to make them.

@BangoSkankThank you very much! I'm thinking in the near future I'll purchase a pdf of Beyond The Supernatural; a Palladium setting (because of course I'd favor that :P ) that's specifically modern horror! I've read Nightbane, which is arguably horror, but has a more action oriented feel with merely a horror aesthetic (and feels like somebody mashed Clive Barker's Nightbreed together with old WoD :P). 3.5 and 3.0 kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth; nothing against the game, just... Too many games with the wrong people, I guess. 3.0 was my introduction to proper ttrpg, before my older brother got me into Rifts, and it was good, but, at this point i have too many unhappy memories tied up in that particular incarnation of the game.
