About me and my experience with pen & paper RPGs:
I've been roleplaying for over 27+
years now, starting on the old school Basic D&D (3-5+ years), back when Elf
& Halfling were a classes. At some point it transitioned into AD&D (17+
years) and it became the main focus for some years to come, spending many
weekends at friends houses just doing dungeon dives. This continued some time
even until after the release of 3.0 & 3.5 (2-5+ years) edition came out, we
played it but it never had as much popularity. We tried 4th edition as well,
but most of our group couldn't get past what they call the "mmo
feel".
Then came Pathfinder (5+ years), and we moved to that off & on. Over the
years I've picked up most of the popular systems and some of the less
popular/unknown ones including but not limited to; Anima, BattleTech A Time of
War, Bushido, Conan 2d20, d20 Modern (17+ years), DC Adventures, and D&D 5e
(2-3+ years), GURPS (1 year), Hero System, Legend of the Five Rings (1 year),
Naruto d20 (18+ years; my homebrew), Savage Worlds, Starfinder, Star Wars (18+
years) and World of Darkness (1-2 years). I recently picked up All Flesh Must Be Eaten.
My current options for
groups:
I'm most familiar with the systems and
the rules related to Conan 2d20, DnD 5e, GURPS,
Legend of The Five Rings, Pathfinder, Pathfinder 2e, Shadowrun and Star Wars Saga.
You can engage me for anything, but I will need the time to familiarize with
the game rules again. I am always interested in reading new games and worlds. New
players are most welcome. I will teach you all I know if you are willing to
learn. Games will also be run through VOIP, usually through Discord.
I run games from 1-4 players.

Your payments will help me with the
purchase of Roll20 subscription plans, maps, modules, rulebooks and other
resources from both the Roll20 store and those that provide resources. That
being said, I love to GM & roleplay and hope to keep it fun for you. It
also looks like this may be my full-time/part-time job depending on how things
go with my living situation, especially with the quarantine in effect and such...
Why
pay for a DM/GM? What do I get out of this? You
get a stable GM/DM that is not going to drop your game for no obvious
reason or because you didn't follow some obscure rule. You
get a GM/DM that cares about engaging people, creating new and interesting
scenarios and adventures. You
get to choose the type of adventure style.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With all that said here is the layout plan for how things
go.
We make a session 0 which can take any number of hours
usually 2.
1)We begin by talking what style of game people would like to play roleplay
oriented or roll play oriented (more gameplay and tactics focused).
2)Then we move on to talking about what people would like to play if there
isn't a clear system and setting. How familiar are people with it, where they
would like to play in a setting if they have a place or time in mind?
3). Characters, basic creation, and ideas were for background stories and how
they related to the group and the setting if at all.
Those are the major steps, there are a few smaller ones but all together even
if they might not seem like much they take time and really help build a solid
foundation for our games.
