Hello there! Preemptive TL;DR: I'm looking for 1 player for a low-player game of FFG's Star Wars. I'm new to DMing but I know the system well. If you want in, don't be a dick. PM me with a case for picking you. It will be weekly on Saturday afternoons. 18+ please. DMs for anything other than 5E and Pathfinder seem tougher to find, so I'm going to bust out of my comfort zone and try to run something myself. I am most knowledgeable in the rules for FFG's Star Wars series, so I'm going to run that. I figure that will take some of the pressure off. The game will be held on Saturday afternoons in the EST zone. The end time will be by 7PM, but the start time is flexible. Now that you know that, I get to tell you the fun stuff (maybe it's fun. I dunno.) I am not positive what type of DM I am. I can tell you the type I want to be, and certain things that won't be gameplay related about my style, such as punctuality and respect. I'll start with those since they are pretty important to me: I understand things day-of or even last-minute that mean you can't make a game. I do. However, people have set aside time in their lives to engage in a hobby. That means they haven't scheduled another game. Or time out with friends. If it becomes habitual, I will ask you to leave. Respect the time of the rest of the group. Also respect that we're all different and our characters will be different. I won't tolerate trying to undermine the other players for your own benefit or treating anyone poorly based on their life choices. There won't be many players, so it probably won't manifest itself, but it's a precaution. Okay, now that the grumpy "them's the damn rules" portion is over... As a player I like a good mix of role play and action. If a session is all action I get a little bored. If a session is 0 action, I get a little bored. Keeping things changing and moving is important to me. I intend to try and bring that to being a GM. You WILL have to RP. You WILL need to learn the rules, especially as they relate to the abilities you've chosen for your character. I'm not saying you need to know them by heart right away, especially if you are new to the system as my only current player is (we haven't started anything, so you would be coming in at the beginning of the story), but knowing that the influence power can't make people shoot themselves in the face is something you're gonna need to know. This is all so that we can have a game with different objectives and tactics without leaving members out. The group is too small for that. I will be doing light to medium prep. I want you to feel free to do interesting things and do things your character wants to do. Not just what I want to plan. I don't like railroading as a player, so I'll try my best not to do that to you. I also am very open to criticism, so long as it's useful. Just telling me I suck is fine if you want things to be tense and make me kill your character then find a new player. Being new I know I'll need to adapt and improve my style as I go. It's inevitable. It would be a miracle if I were the perfect DM right out the gate. So that's my pitch! We're looking for 1 player. You can post here to let me know you're interested, but I would prefer a PM with a character idea (can be broad strokes for now) and whatever you want to say to make a case for yourself. Hell, even if all you want to do is make your case and then work out a character idea, that's fine. My current player and I would prefer someone 18+. Thanks for reading this if you didn't just close it after the TL;DR section. :D
