Greetings, Roll20 denizens! My name is Dylan, and I am a role-player.
I started out playing D&D back in Junior High and played pretty regularly up through college. We stopped AD&D at 2e, but I've perused quite a bit of 3.5 as it has been availiable online. Additionally, I've played Shadowrun, Talislanta, Earthdawn, Torg, Gamma World, some others I can't remember.
I haven't played in roughly 15 years. I've been in small towns without gaming communities for about 10. Role-playing is in my blood and I have longed to find a group. I tried RPOL, but it was too damn slow and lacked the spontaneous interaction that real tabletop gets. I just found this website and would like to get back to playing, thinking this might be the closest to the ol' gathering around the dining room table with a few buds and brews and cooking up some delightful stories of heroism and folly. I remember enjoying it just as much, if not more, when things went horribly wrong and we all barely got through it.
I've been listening to THACO Podcast for a few years, now, and have learned about a lot of games I might want to play. My dream game now is probably the Dresden Files.
I have in the, dusty recesses of my garage, core books for Talislanta 2nd edition, Torg, Gamma World (2e), and the Wheel of Time d20 game. If materials for your game are easily available online (like 3.5, Pathfinder, etc.), that would be great. My favorite games were Earthdawn and Shadowrun, but I'm easy. I will play any character type, if you need to plug me in to a group dynamic. By the time I get done making a character, I'm already getting excited about it, regardless of class, race, whatevah.
I am in the Mountain Time zone in the US (GMT -7). I would prefer to play in the later evenings on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Sunday or Wednesday evenings are a possibility if it doesn't go too late. I may have to skip a session once in a while because I got kids and a wife and you know how it is.
Hopefully, once I get back into the swing of things and learn how all this works, I can try my hand at running a game. We'll see.
Thank you for your consideration. I am looking forward to chasing the dragon again after being so long on the wagon.
