LF1P completely new to the RPG hobby.

January 16 (9 years ago)

Edited January 16 (9 years ago)
Hello folk, I'm looking for 1 more player for my group, and I'd prefer that they be completely/relatively new to the roleplaying hobby. The game we're currently playing is Star Wars, but that will eventually change. Here are the requirements for joining the group:
  1. Preference is given to players who are new to the RPG thing.
  2. A player that knows the kinds of stories they like, but has an open mind to try unusual things.
  3. We typically play every other Saturday at 10:30PM EST (that time is set in stone), so you'd need to be free at that time. Our games run about 4 hours, give or take.
  4. We use Teamspeak 3 for voice communication. So you'll need to have that program to run with us.
If you're interested, drop a message below. Let me know a little about what gaming experience you have, if any. And let me know what kinds of stories you like. Gimme some media as a reference, i.e. movies, tv shows, books, comic books that you enjoy; if you have a preferred genre or story type, do let me know.  You don't need to write me a dissertation on your thoughts about story or anything, just help me get a sense of what you like and don't like.

Once we get a decent pool of interested people, I'll probably run a couple one-shots so you can see how I run games and I can see how you play, make sure we're a good fit. From there i'll pick one person to join the group proper.  At any rate, I hope some people are interested. We're looking forward as a group to help someone get into the hobby we all love, and share some of our passion for the game at it's best.
I've Dm'd EotE a few times but I'm pretty new to RPG's having dived in within the last 3-4 months and only playing a few times. 

As far as stories go, I'm pretty interested in the space opera feel but mechanic wise I enjoy having a bit of freedom, at least seeing how my choices can effect events slightly. Media wise, I've been geeking over Saga lately. Such a great book and a good example of the type of characters I like to play. Star Wars (lol) is another example of the kind of stories and tone I really enjoy. Right now I'm primarily interested in playing FFG's Star Wars, Shadow Run, and Star Without Number but im open to trying others.

I've been trying to find a consistent group for awhile now so I can actually dig into an RPG.
I'm new and interested, however I do have a couple weekends in February I wouldn't be able to play.
I've only recently started tabletop RPG's, but have played a bunch of RPG's in videogame form (stuff like Bioware games [Mass Effect, Dragon Age, KoToR]/MMO's).  I love the Star Wars universe, but am not sure if I'd like RP'ing in the universe (never say never, however).  My favorite storylines are mysteries, I love trying to puzzle out the solution.  I'm not really sure what other kinds of stories I care for, generally a game is enjoyable to me so long as the people I'm "playing with" are fun to be around - whether NPC's in a videogame or players in an RP.

Hiya folks.  Been a bit busy with RL lately, but I just wanted you to know I saw these posts. When things settle down a bit for me I can start organizing this into a legit one shot experience and we can all actually talk to one another, suss out the kind of stuff you'd like to try.
