Hello everyone and tahnk you for taking the time to read this post. I'm a 33 years old player from Portugal and I've been roleplaying since I was 18. In reality before that but that's when I actually started dedicating some time into it. Recently most of my games have been droping out, either because of players leaving or GMs no longer having the time to continue doing it so I'm looking for some games to fill in the days I have free. Starting with the easy part, as said in the title, I have all days but saturday up for grabs, as for my timezone, I'm GMT and I'm up for a game that starts anywhere between 7pm and 11pm (I may possibly accept a game that starts later, but it has to in someway speak so close to my heart that I just cannot say no). Now for systems, plenty of systems I can do. Some systems I know include D&D 5e, savage worlds, some of the warhammer 40k systems, star wars saga, pathfinder. these is not all the systems I know, just some examples. Systems I don't really want include FATE and the warhammer 40k systems. I am willing to learn a system I don't know provided you have a copy of the PDFs being used that you can share. However there are a few things I should explain about the systems. I tend to like systems which have good hard fixed rules, especially if the GM does not intend to just change them. There are 2 considerations for me in a system. Does it have a good amount of rules that allows me to always know whether I can do something or not rather than being left to GM discretion (this creates a consistent experience from game to game) and does it have plenty of customisation without being a huge bloat of things that make getting into it difficult (I'm looking at pathfinder for too much stuff and fate for nearly nothing). Some people will of course say that a system doesn't needs many rules to be good and that it's all to the player capacity to roleplay. My view is that this is factually wrong. A good roleplayer is going to be a good roleplayer regardless of the system. What makes a system good is how solid it's rules are. Now there are a few things I'm not looking for in a game, these mostly regard settings. I don't like horror settings, westerns, or modern. I also dislike the idea of sanity systems or games where the fun is being constantly without resources. What i like are games that are sci-fi, post apocaliptic, or high fantasy where the character is actually considered to be someone who stands a head above the masses, they can be heroes villains, whatever, they do are the stuff legends are made of. While the narrative may focus more on the campaign than the characters, the characters play an important part, they are just not one more guy that happened to be slightly more competent. And in general that is it. I expect to have fun in the game that you run. No more, no less. From other players I expect only the basic ability to cooperate and not stab others in the back, steal from the party etc, those things ruin the fun for me. From the GM, I expect as said earlier, rules to be followed and not change for whatever convinience at the time and I expect a GM that is a fan of the players. That is, he tries to work with the players and try to get everyone to have fun instead of what I sadly see the most in 5e games where it's players vs gm and inevitably the game ends up failing or at least ceasing to be fun at some point or another. I also expect a certain degree of fairness where every player is treated equally. That is to say, not one player tends to get more stuff for him than other because that's what happens to be there or a difference in XP between players because someone roleplays better or worst. In my experience someone roleplaying better or worse will only increase the difference between players XP and thus levels as well as not really help with this eve changing, not only that but players who are left behind feel left out and tend to quit, not to mention that not all characters are the same, meaning not all characters, whether by personality or the utility of how they are mechanically built lends to the same amount of roleplay opportunities. And I suppose that is all. I hope to get a few invites for some games soon. Thanks for your time once again.
