I have been playing games for going on twenty years and really enjoy a reliable, stable experience that centers on good storytelling and adventure. Unfortunately, most of the people I have played with have become parents and gotten busy with life and gaming has taken a bit of a backseat. I am not ready to give up on my hobby and am hoping that this amazing community has the right group for me. I am not very picky when it comes to games, I have played 1st-3.5 edition D&D, Pathfinder, Mouseguard, Fifth Wheel (Western), and Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG. I prefer fantasy games but am not opposed to things that venture a bit off the beaten path. I have a somewhat flexible schedule and will endeavor to make time for a good group, although weekends are generally easier to swing than midweek. I am not opposed to trying 5e, although I feel it lacks in some areas that the more robust 3.5 and Pathfinder have been able to build upon in their longer lifespans. I know the rules pretty well but leave those determinations up to the GM, as its best to trust they will captain the ship fairly. Some of my more recent character concepts include; Reoric - Dwarf Cleric of Aliza. His goddess, Aliza, is a nearly forgotten deity. She was captured by a demon and has been killed and reborn more every day for a thousand generations. This torture has driven her mad, and only the truly dispossessed and lost can still hear her in their dreams. Such raving lunatics are often dismissed, but Reoric is among the few who see that the visions of her eternal torture are really a cry for help. Setting off from the only home he has ever known, he trusts that her visions will lead him to uncover a means of freeing her, or that his death will be a relief from watching the constant anguish each night. Slurry - Goblin Wizard (Illusionist) The life of a goblin is not one many envy. Shunned and hounded by most civilized societies, Goblins have eked out an existence centered upon a brutal heirarchy where the strong take from the weak. Even among their own kind there is no acceptance for those among them who cannot meet the challenges placed before them. Slurry is one of these outcasts until he takes a book from the body of a dead gnome. With the book in hand, Slurry hides away reading the strange writing and drawing the mystical glyphs. With the knowledge of the book, he chooses to leave his tribe and face the world alone. Well, not entirely alone, he could not leave his trusty Rattagins to be eaten by the others. Ferrous - Verpine Engineer/Technician Chief Rigger Ferrous is an unusual sort for a Verpine, his rust red coloration would make him distinctive among his people even before his fascination with sub-wave communication and interstellar networks carry away every conversation. The time he has spent living among other species in the shipyards of Corellia have taught him that the communication his people take for granted is not offered to others. There is no hive to which to convey your thoughts or to be affirmed, there is only empty expanses of territory and a system of communication controlled by the state. While not particularly brave or aggressive, Ferrous believes in the Rebel Alliances work because it represents groups of free thinkers, sharing ideas openly. Leaving CEC to work against the all powerful empire is a pretty scary thought, but so too is a universe devoid of free thought.
