Not so much of an introduction as a returning. Some of you might know or remember me. I was so new when I landed here and full of expectations of amazing games and adventures. Instead, what I got was a lot of unfulfilled expectations and disappointment. I tried a couple other pbp forums with much the same results. Until I realized that, no, I'm not insane for trying the same thing in different places and expecting the same results. This was just how it was on all pbp forums. Mostly unmet expectations and disappointment with a silver lining here and there to make it all worth while.
So, now that I'm a decade late and a whole bag of expectations short, I said to myself, why not return. I had some fun times here, despite the disappointments. And now that I'm older and... ahem... wiser, I can better manage my expectations
So here I am.
I can't remember what I said in my intro back in the day. And probably a few things have changed. I've learned things about myself and my tastes.
I still prefer the Advanced Roleplay section as I enjoy the art of writing. I still prefer sci-fi to fantasy, but make exceptions for urban fantasy, steampunk and low/grimdark fantasy. I enjoy system play, with some of my favorites being Cypher, Mothership, CoC. And I've also had some experience in GMing. So I have that in my portfolio as well. I did find out I'm utterly shit at 1-on-1s, so I won't be doing any of that here.
And that's about it for a re-entry. I plan on hanging around for the time being and looking for some game that might catch my eye.
To any of my Sunday Group (I hope you know who you are and remember me
) friends, as well as all the rest of you whom I might have shared games with (if you are still around), I'd be happy to catch up and maybe even have a game together.
I've returned!
