Hello my fellow 20Rollers (is there a demonym for us, not
sure). Anyway I wanted to drop a line and say that I’m looking to join a game,
but not just any game. If there is a group playing any of the below rules set
please consider me interested, if you’re looking for a player that is. I’m an
old school gamer with a fairly steady schedule and a have a desire to join a
long term game that will simulate the experience I had years ago when campaigns
took years of investment. Also just in case you are thinking of asking at the
moment I’m just interested in playing games, not running anything, so now you
don’t need to ask.
I’m looking for group playing any of the following editions
of Dungeons and Dragons: Basic, Expert, Companion, Master, and Immortal, or
Rules Cyclopedia, Basic Fantasy Role Playing, OSRIC, 1 st edition
D&D, 2 nd Edition D&D. Basically anything pre-third edition.
I’m interested in playing Savage Worlds and or FATE/FUDGE
but depends on the setting but I’m really interested in playing something in
those game systems.
Superheroes are something else I’m interested in playing but
not the Champions or anything with the HERO System. While I loved it as a
youngster it has lost its appeal now. Don’t get me wrong I don’t have anything
against the system, but it’s just not for me anymore.
Star Wars either the old West End Games D6 version, or the
SAGA edition I like them both for different reasons.
Let's see what else do you need to know about me? I'm in the
Eastern Time Zone -5GMT. I'm a dedicated role player but I know my way around a
combat situation when it comes to that. Overall I prefer a 50/50 split of drama
to combat and I'd rather feel like a character in a story instead of a set of
stats in the middle of an endless combat situation unless we are doing an
"at war" kind of plot.
I played the Mentzer BECMI rules back in when they were new
and switched over to the Advanced rules when they came out. I'm a veteran of
several campaigns/adventures and realize that play style, rules and dungeon
master fiat are all equally important elements to the game.
If you find yourself looking for a new player please feel
free to contact me.
Peace
