[LFGM] Evening Solo Game - Several Systems Available [EST|GMT -5]

Hi there! I'm Ashley and I have some requests up for specific group-based rp, but I'm also looking for a GM willing to run a solo game for me. I don't have a strong preference for what kind of game it is, currently, but have provided lists below of things I like and things I have played. I am hoping to find a game or three that runs weekly in the evenings. I am located in EST time zone (GMT -5) and am available after 6:30 to whenever we decide to stop (within reason... I do have a day job, haha). These are the genres of games I enjoy : Fantasy (High, Low, Urban, Mythic, etc) * Historical (Realism, Fantasy, etc) Science Fantasy Superheroes (Original or Marvel) Horror (Fantasy, Urban, Eldritch, etc) Post-Apocalyptic Survival Horror (Zombies, etc) *I have gotten an overwhelming number of fantasy games offered to me and at this time, though I enjoy playing fantasy, I am going to be stepping away from taking any more on. Systems I play (with varying levels of familiarity/experience) : D&D 5e ** 7th Sea 1e Vampire: the Masquerade 7th Sea 2e* Scion 1e Marvel Heroic Scion 2e* All Flesh Must Be Eaten *The books for these systems are still being printed, obviously, but there is enough information to at least do intro-type games either via quickstarters or use of purely the core books. **I am no longer looking for D&D 5e campaigns, thank you. I am not "married" to only playing the genres and games listed above. I'm quite open to learning others. I'd love, for example, to learn to play Firefly , but have had no one to teach me. The only thing I'm definitely not interested in is Star Wars. What I'm looking for from a GM : I am looking for someone who can handle running the world and NPCs, who can think on the fly incase I manage to push in a direction he/she didn't have planned originally, and who is dedicated and engaged. I am not looking to pay you to run a game for me, but IU might be willing to consider helping with costs if something from the Marketplace is necessary for running the game smoothly. I like open communication and joint creative efforts when it comes to things like creating characters (I can't make a character for your game/setting when I know nothing about it, so input is always appreciated. I also find it helps for a GM and player to discuss and build characters background's together as it makes it easier to create a story focused on the character, rather than focusing a character on the story). More information on myself : Name : Ashley Age : 30 Gender : Female RPG Experience : Played in my first table top game (D&D) at 9 (21 years ago), DMed my first game (D&D) at 12-13 (18 years ago). I have done everything from story-heavy text-based freeform (no system) to actual sitting at a table and playing general hack-and-slash styled dungeon crawls. Preferred Play Medium : I would prefer to play over voice (via Skype or Discord), but I'm also open to pure text-based. I'm not really interested in video. Schedule : Day Day/Afternoon Availability Evening Availability Monday Unavailable Open Tuesday Unavailable Open Wednesday Unavailable Unavailable Thursday Unavailable Open Friday Unavailable Open Saturday Open Open Sunday Open Unavailable Possible Schedule Difficulties : I am a single parent living over 1k miles from my son for the next several months for work, and may occasionally need to take a 15 to 20 minutes break during play to call and tell him goodnight. Usually these calls happen around 8 to 830 PM and they rarely last more than 20 minutes. Obviously, I will try to plan around our game days/times so they won't interfere, but I hope you'll be patient if it's unavoidable. I also live in Miami, FL, which means that occasionally traffic is a nightmare and I might get home a little bit later than usual. I'll always try to let you know if I'm running late. Misc Info : I write professionally and as a hobby, and love a story with interesting characters (I honestly find that interesting characters and NPCs can inherently make a game entertaining, even when there has only been minimal work put in to the plot). The more in depth the plot, the better, and I love, love, love sandbox play where there are plenty of directions I can take my character based on "hooks" provided.

Hello Ashley, Are you open to alternating GMing/Player roles? That is, each makes a character in the shared Sandbox and they play off each other. For example, in a World of Darkness game setting, one player plays a vampire and the other player plays a hunter -- they operate in the same Sandbox but not necessarily interact, however events, NPCs, etc in setting affect both of them. /Matt
Hi Matt! Thanks for your reply! I'm afraid that at this time, I'm strictly looking to play, as I'm already running games offline and will soon be running one online as well, so I'm feeling a little stretched thin in that department. That does sound like a neat idea, though, and I hope you find someone who can help with that. :)

Ashley, No worries, just seeing the parameters. Are these games the limit or are other games also possible?  /Matt
Definitely! I'm open to basically anything but Star Wars and super hardcore sci fi, as long as the GM is willing to teach. :)

Ashley, Cool. I'm in PST (GMT-8) so that's not too bad as far as getting together (I game with others in the EST zone). I use the Roll20 voice and Discord when that breaks down. Are you thinking weekly or is every other week a possibility? I'll send you a PM. /Matt
Looking forward to your PM. (I'll reply to all your questions there, haha)
That is the best LFG post I've ever seen... 
I'm glad you think so, Jims. :) 
Ashley, Have you found anybody to run your solo game??
Sending you a PM, Ghost. 
I've updated my list of likes/wants and systems I want to play, as well as my schedule.
Had some dramatic openings in my schedule, including my Monday and Saturday evenings open up, so I've updated my opening post. I'd also like to point out that my note on not wanting to play D&D 5e does not mean I'd be unwilling to play in a game that uses the system. If you have a game/world that uses the system but a different (not High Fantasy) setting, I'd be more than open to hearing it.
