[LFG] Experienced Player Looking for Long Term Game

1656036763

Edited 1656038650
Bear with me, there’s a wall of text forthcoming…   After spending a few months of failed attempts to find a game that felt “right” I’ve decided to try throwing myself on the auction block instead.   Worth a try, right?   I mentioned the impending wall of text, so rather than leave these until the end, I’m going to save you the reader a few minutes and list what I’m not looking for first.   I’ve found out the hard way that the following have been reasons that previous games have not worked out for me. The game is pay to play The game is a Living World (While in theory I love the concept, I’ve tried several and it’s never worked, mostly related to scheduling) A majority of the group lives/breathes/eats gaming A majority of the group are min/maxers A group that is going to tell me how to roll up/play my character A group that consistently brings real world issues into the game The group is not 18+ (I’m pro growing the next generation of gamers, but I don’t want to be filtering myself for this game)     So, if you’re still reading, awesome! Here’s what I’m looking for: Schedule/Timing:   I’d like to find an ongoing game, weekly or bi-weekly.   My schedule is relatively open, weekdays anytime between 3:30ish to 10ish (US Central) are best, weekend late morning/afternoons can work too. Format: Roll20/Discord.   Voice or voice/video. Character sheets are used (macros are great, but I don’t want to exclusively rely on them) Play style: a healthy mix of social/RP and combat is preferred.   I’d like to find a semi-casual game.   I want to be invested in my character, but I don’t want to feel like I need to be chatting/plotting all week in between games.   At least not all the time.   Campaign Age: I’m good with either starting fresh or filling a gap in an ongoing game.   Both have pros and cons. System: Note this is last on the list for a reason.   The specific game isn’t as important.   I’m most familiar with Pathfinder 1 st (a little rusty), Shadowrun 3 rd (very rusty), Shadowrun 5 th (have made characters but haven’t actually played yet) or D&D 5 th (most recent long-term campaign but new to it) but have experience with several other games (see my profile for a longer list).   So long as you don’t mind a newbie I’d love to check out a game that isn’t one of the big three.   My preference leans towards games with well established rules and mechanics as opposed to free form type games, but I’m open to at least considering anything.   Still with me? Then it’s only fair I tell you a bit about me as a player. Character Preferences: I’m comfortable with pretty much any class/archetype and so comfortable with filling holes in the party.   Left to my own devices I tend to lean towards rogue/cover ops types or utility casters.   Regardless of the character, I try to find ways to make them different from the cookie cutter somehow.   The (D&D) kender monk, the (Shadowrun) troll medic/street doc, etc. Character creation: I don’t make characters fast.   I get invested in my characters, I develop backstories/motivations/goals that guide me on how I’ll play him or her.   Now thanks to the aforementioned multiple failed attempts to find a game that fits I have several character concepts that I could modify to a new game but don’t expect me to have a character in 24 hours. Play Style: I’m fine with anywhere on the IC/OOC spectrum.   I like rules, but I also am a firm believer in “’Cause I’m the DM. We’ll look it up after the game”.   Left unchecked my characters can trend towards being a bit if a dick, probably a subconscious opportunity to get out all the behaviors I can’t in the real world, but I’m well aware of it and if it doesn’t fit the character concept, I keep it in check. Comfort Levels: There’s really not much that will trigger for me in character.   If appropriate to the context I’m fine with pretty much any in character behavior.   Those baddies are villains for a reason, right?   Oh wait, we’re the villains? No problem, I can be as vile as needed.   In character.   Out of character I will typically give someone the benefit of the doubt first time.   If I see a pattern of inappropriate comments (racist/phobic/hateful in general) I’ll first start making them look stupid, and then start directly confronting them. Ask me about my bouncer days for real world examples.
