I wonder if the level of canon roleplay is a bit better here.
Hello people, as said in the title I am brand new on this site, though I'm not a newbie when it comes to roleplay. I've been playing with friends for a good few years now, mainly with homebrew systems, as well as some D&D 5th edition and Legend of the Five Rings. I'm interested in text-based stuff and I've been curious about trying it. I spend an awful lot of time creating worlds or pieces of worlds, so I thought I might as well give it a try.
I'm more interested in dark and gritty realism, which is one of the reasons why I'm a huge Warhammer Fantasy and 40k fan, but I'm not necessarily interested in only grimdark stuff. I can do just fine with more light-hearted fantasy stuff, though omnipresent magic and unexplained crazy tech everywhere (in the case of sci-fi) is not my cup of tea. I also have a soft spot for steampunk and dieselpunk imagery and technology.
All in all, I'm here for exploring, digging around and hopefully finding some gold in the sand. See you around!
I'm a fairly experienced roleplayer, playing games for nearly a decade and running games for several years. I write and read about many things, and like some video games. Nothing too complicated.
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.
As the title of this thread states, I really needed to do something with my time while doing the whole staying at home thing. As I had been meaning to get back into online roleplaying for a while, when better to do it than now. Anyways, hope to have some fun here while the world outside is not so fun.
