I'm glad we're having fun here, what with the usual zero response (is it the Text preference or the rather obscure game? I can never tell). Good times, I love you Roll20 and I know you love me back like a senile serial killer who forgot all about which basement I'm in. You pine for me now, Roll20. I know you do. Like someone who pines for a piece of gum in order to forget that they really want a cigarette. While we're at it and you're still here, let me waste some more time and words writing about this thing that nobody else apparently thinks is cool: You guys love, love, love, love, love TL;DR versions (seriously, once I saw a post here that said and I quote "some people are starting a campaign", didn't even bother to say what-when-who-how-where, and over a hundred people flooded the forum with responses) so I'll give it to you first: Cthulhu, right? but in a gritty, futuristic anime world where humanity is besieged by alien forces that invaded our planet. The Tagers are what I love about this game. Ordinary people with the will to fight the real threat hidden amongst mankind, and the fortitude to bear the price that comes with the power to battle the secret doom looming in the dark. They anime-style bond with unknown entities from beyond time and space in order to blow our minds as if by saying "so werewolves are cool, right? and teams of werewolves using their powers and monstrous forms to fight off greater evils are even cooler, right? but how about alien-shifters!?" But it's not just "cool, right?" - I like storytelling, making interesting characters (at least I try and make them interesting, it's up to you if they are or aren't), building a scene together with other people who enjoy deep-sounding words like "narrative" and "dramatic". I especially like "dramatic", since you can take that word and weaponize the %&*# out of it. "A dramatic birthday cake", for example, is the birthday cake to end all birthday cakes (and possibly all or at least most birthdays after that). "A game of dramatic action" sounds like the kind of thing that can only be born of an unholy gestalt between Akira Kurosawa, Stephen King and Quentin Tarantino. Quite possibly with whoever did "Run, Lola, Run". That is my happy place. That is also what I really want out of an RPG. That, and birthday cake. But I accept that I can't have it all, so no cake for me. Well, this is that kind of a game. If there is anyone out there who is a GM kind of guy/gal/shoggoth, someone who is looking for players who enjoy storytelling - whether high-paced or creeping horror with slow dramatic reveals or some alternating mix of the three - and you happen to have the CthulhuTech book and you want to gather players for your game-- Ahh, who am I kidding? Chances are you stopped reading around the point where you figured out that "TL;DR" thing was no TL;DR. Well, I'll just keep accruing Insanity Points by persisting. Yes, sir. Yes, ladies and menfolk. I'll be here all week. Standing hunched in the corner in dishevelled attire, brandishing my "The End is Near" cardboard sign in one hand and shaking a cup of pennies in the other while the rest of you keep flooding me down the archive with an endless torrent of D&D/Pathfinder LFPs and LFGs, watch you splash me through the puddles as you drive off in your great limousines packed with fellow enthusiasts within 15 minutes - all the while I get the company of a lovely tumble weed. At least the tumble weed is going places. Remember me when you get to the top, tumble weed...
