TL;DR = Long time RPer LFG long-term. Prefer 5e; Maybe lemme use a
Mystic?; Prefer older players; Immersion is important; Nothing “cartoon-y”;
Will pay. Hi all,
I've been using Roll20 for some time now. I haven't been on for about a
year or so, though, so I might be a bit rusty.
Here's a little bit about what I hope to get out of a campaign: Availability :
I'm available any time during the evenings (say, past 5:30 CST, GMT-5),
and all weekends.
About Me :
I'd say that I'm moderate in terms of experience. A good GM would make all
the difference. I'm an immersioner / RPer in MMOs, so I have a lot of
"experience" with my preferred character's personae. I'm aware of the
potential in RP for Meta-gaming, God-Moding, etc., and feel as if I do a very
good job at not coming across that way.
I'm over 30, but my inner child pretty much runs the place! :P It's very
important that the group have a mature mindset. I'm just not comfortable
playing with anyone under 18, and would prefer a median group age of over 25. Please
don't misunderstand that as some sort of ageism.
Preferred
Character / Playstyle :
I do love the Mystic / Psionic class. For DnD 5E, I spent a LOT of time
putting together a sheet, and I'm very pleased with it. I think I may have some
3.5 and Pathfinder Psionic sheets out there, too. It's not necessarily
homebrew, per se, but I think it is still considered official WotC playtest
material, as the Mystic class is not officially part of 5E yet. A psionic
character kind of ties into the "personae" that I've been RPing
with in the past. Again - not a deal breaker. I've played several classes, and
would be willing to give something else a go for a good group / GM.
I'd be willing to message some proposed character sheets to whomever would
like to see them. Obviously, some changes may have to be made depending on the
GM's method of character creation / point allotment, and interpretation of the
variable rules of the class.
I'm not
interested in a pre-made backstory - (details and such needed in order to fit into the campaign are
fine, but no "You're the bastard son of a rich nobleman."
"You've been in the guard for 20 years. etc.). Immersion is important to
me.
Preferred
Playstyle :
I'd prefer that the campaign spans multiple sessions. I'm down with
one-shots, too. I'd just hope that a GM is willing to put in the effort for an
immersive setting. In my experience, not many one-shots get that level of
attention.
I'm not sure if playing with a large party is right for me. I've been in a
party of 12, and it was a charlie-foxtrot.
I'm ok with homebrew rules -
but nothing too crazy. I'd prefer to stick with "normal" stuff.
Preferred
Campaign Setting :
I've got no real preference, other than it be somewhat relatable. Think:
Lord of the Rings = New Zealand with magic and monsters. That's what I dig, not
some floating island on a volcanic moon that's illuminated by three suns in a
distant galaxy.
I don't like "Over-the-top". I don't like the concept of
everyone being a god-like super-being. Magic / psionics / advanced combat
training should be special; rare.
I haven't been in campaigns with elements like spaceships and time-travel,
and I hesitate to go down that route. Too... sci-fi-y. It’s just a bit outside
my comfort zone
Tone :
I'd like for the tone to be semi-serious, with relatively mainstream
concepts.
Artistic
Style :
No real preference. I will say that I'm not a fan of cartoony-looking
worlds, characters, or other elements. It's one of the reasons that I'm not a
fan of anime. Nothing against it - it's just not my style.
GM :
Immersion! That's a big one for me. Draw us into your world! Make us want
to explore / fight / whatever.
Put a little effort into it. I don't really care if you have dynamic
lighting or high-res maps, but I'm not really interested in looking at a blank
grid / hand drawn stuff akin to MS Paint 90% of the time. (This shouldn't even
really need to be said, but sadly, that was the experience I had some time ago.)
Willing
to contribute to paid GM . Now, there's limitations. Not willing to pay for one-shot sessions. Would
like to get a feel for a GM before committing to anything.
Anyway -
feel free to message me here. I'll make sure I receive email alerts, and should
be able to respond quickly.
- Thanks!
