Two players looking for a quality Dm / group / game running AD&D Type: We're looking for an "open world" that runs on consistent internal logic. We don't enjoy games in which the only possible outcome to any given situation is the scripted one that moves us along to the next scripted situation. We enjoy when the world exists independently of our characters. We enjoy when our successes and failures have an impact on the story and the world. We enjoy when NPC's are characters with motivations and depth. We are not looking for a game in which our characters are unique super heroes simply because we're playing an RPG. We are looking for a game where our characters are simply denizens of the world. Quality: We define a quality game to be one that has real effort and thought put into it. We don't care about badly drawn maps (but good ones help a lot), we don't care about cheap tokens (although again, good ones are nice). We don't care if the DM can do fancy voices, or whether players prefer first or third person role playing. We don't want players prioritize stats or powers or optimizing or loot. We prefer player's and DM's that at minimum state what actual actions the characters are taking, instead of simply saying what they want to roll for. We do care about dynamic lighting (although I would pay to provide this for a DM / Group that had everything else we were looking for). We care about integrity and reliability. We expect people to show up when they say they will. We expect people to be prepared if they say they will prepare. We don't want to sit down to play and have the DM "wing it" because they didn't want to put the work in ahead of time. Us: We will always show up for sessions, on time, prepared. We will not meta / power game. We will create characters with motivations and histories that tie them to the game world in an immersive manner. DM: We are looking for a Dm that will put forth real effort into bringing his/her world to life so speak. We would expect the Dm to have prepared for the session and have a mastery of the rules system. We are not looking for a DM vs players situation. The DM should merely be the interface between the players and the game world. Other players: We simply want others to meet the expectations we force ourselves to meet. Should respect others, and respect the DM. Should not show up looking to play a "special snow flake / one good drow" type of character. We are in -6 GMT and are free on fridays, saturday, and sunday evenings regularly. I'm typing on a tablet, please excuse any errors and thank you for reading.
