Hello there fellow TTRPG enjoyers! I'm a 44 year old (he/him)
looking for a group to join that would play weekly or biweekly, starting
around 8:00 pm EST. Ideally sometime Sunday to Thursday, as my Fridays
and Saturdays are often reserved for social and family events. As an
older player, I do understand that with families and jobs that it can
sometimes be a challenge to fit in time to play TTRPGs, so I'm looking
to find a group in similar circumstances. I do my best to be flexible
where I can for when other players at the table can't make it, and I
make sure to give as much advance notice as possible when situations
arise that I'm not able to attend. In terms of the game I'm
looking to play, currently I'm seeking a 5/5.5e game, be it homebrew or
pre-made (I've currently played Lost Mines of Phendelver, Waterdeep
Dragon Heist, and Storm King's Thunder so far). I like a balanced mix of
role play, combat and explorations/puzzles, and really enjoy
collaborative play both with the other members of the table and the
GM/DM. I'm open to playing with new players (always a good thing to help
grow the hobby!), and I don't mind working with the group to make a
character that works well with party cohesion, though I do have a few
concepts in mind to play around with as well. In the interests of
being transparent and to respect peoples time, I'm not really looking for any of the following: 1) Westmarch style games 2) Heavy survival and realism based games 3) Low or no fantasy games 4) Games that heavily feature PvP style combat 5) And while I know I'm
posting on the Free Games forum, I'd like to emphasize I'm not looking
for any paid games. In terms of my experience, I started in my
teens with FASA's Mechwarrior, moving on to West End Games edition of
Star Wars, then onto Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition, to
3/3.5e D&D, some Shadowrun, Pathfinder 1e, Star Wars D20, then 5e
and Pathfinder 2e. I haven't had a chance to play in the 5.5e ruleset of
D&D but I am familiar with it. I'm also a big fan of Sci-Fi and
Fantasy in general, being an avid reader and movie/tv show buff, so
that's had a big influence on my love of TTRPGs and gaming as a whole. If
you think I may be a good fit for your game or table, and if you have
any further questions, feel free to reach out. Good luck to you all on
your adventures!
