This is my idea...
instead of having people come in, present a character, and when the game ends or the character dies, they all go their separate ways. End of story. Instead we get a group of gamers together... some people say "Hey, I was thinking of running this game." We all decide what to play together, and we go from there. However, when this game ends or a character dies we treat it just like a face to face game. We say "so what are we playing next?"See what I did there? Instead of everybody walking away because the game is pivotal, it is the group that is pivotal now.
So why am I on here recruiting? First of all, I suck at selling things, my games, my characters, myself. Secondly, I don't know if it is just me and a run of bad luck but I keep encountering 4 scenarios. This is over the span of dozens of applications and months of waiting and working and trying to get something going.
So, enough on recruiting for games. That isn't working out, and enough for applying to games, that isn't working out. So, let's just focus on meeting some new respectable people and decide where to go from there.
As for me, it really doesn't matter what we are playing. (I say that, but I don't play horror or tabletop at all.) I'm game for anything because this really isn't a pivotal life decision here, it's a game. I don't have a story that HAS to be told, and I don't have a character I HAVE to play. Some of the best games I've been in are ones that I had no control over character creation.
So, playing? Sure, I'm cool with that.
Running a game? I'm cool with that too.
So, here are some ideas on what I can GM for you guys if
Fantasy Rising: Somewhat generic fantasy, but I find that D&D straight up isn't as fun since you have to be pretty educated in the Encyclopedia Arcana (aka 3.5 edition)
Rift Runners: Sci-Fantasy with modern characters from earth traveling to fantastic places.
Superheroes (I prefer Marvel, but I am better equipped at handling DC)
Alpha Zone: Science Fiction band of misfits in which the characters are trying to go big or go home.
Elf Dawn: This is a comedy game in which characters are about equal to Christmas Elves in a Lord of the Rings kind of world.
Something Else: I am super creative and have been generating new worlds, environments, plots, etc for about 25 years now.
We can do free-form, or we can use a rules system. (I have my own creation as well if anybody wants to give it a go.)
In addition I am willing to play just about anything so long as I am surrounded by the right folks.
So, how's about it? Let's get some introductions some blabbering (and the whole friendship making thing) and some votes on what we want to play.
