Bio

I used to have semi-regular games, but after moving cities, I haven't had a single session in over a year. I need my RP fix.

I enjoy most variants of D&D (don't really like 4e, but I've played all the rest, including a smidge of 5e), as well as Pathfinder. I enjoy classes outside of the basic four, but I don't tend to make "wacky" characters. Usually. I like Bards, but hate the Seduce-All-The-Things stereotype. (I like playing them as Jack-of-all-trades masters of trivia)

I've just been introduced to Spheres of Power and Spheres of Might (and now Spheres of Guile) for Pathfinder, and I love them and want to make all the characters with that system. ALL the characters. Ever.

Special note: The Harmacist archetype for Spheres of Might? That's mine. I wrote it.

Update: this Spheres of Power/Might game ran from February 2020 to July 2021 before ending (even though the story was nowhere near done), and I definitely want more SoP/SoM.

My previous regular tabletop game is Scion (original, not 2.0), and would love to get back into it. I have a bunch of extra Scion characters I'd like to try out (Scions of Athena, Hephestus, B'rer Rabbit, and Momus), and now that my regular Scion game has become inactive, I also wouldn't mind playing my original Scion of Huitzilopochtli elsewhere.

I've played Call of Cthulhu, and I'm okay with it, but it doesn't really thrill me. (Warning: for this I'm likely to come up with slightly goofier characters to counter-balance the game's inherent horror. My last CoC character was a hairdresser named "Florence Beatrice" - as in "Flobee")

I've played Shadows of Esteren, but with premade characters in a one-off scenario, so you'd have to walk me through character creation (because I can't find the books in English).

On the other side of that coin, I created an Against the Dark Yogi character for a game that wound up never happening, so I have a character all ready to go for that.

And... well, anything really, the more light-hearted the better. I prefer to focus on action and adventure, not romance or horror, and I enjoy social interactions as much as fighting (though I'm introverted and it might take me a while to fully get into character with a new group). I enjoy playing with game mechanics, but I don't min-max, instead choosing abilities that suit the character's personality or theme.

What games I'd like to try? I've been told that Stars Without Number is good. Mouse Guard sounds fun. I've wanted to try the old 1986 Ghostbusters RPG, but couldn't get anyone to join me. Costume Fairy Adventures sounds hilarious and I'd love to try it. I'd love to get in on an Apocalypse World game, particularly Monster of the Week or Masks. I've been told Godbound is Scion with better mechanics. Heck, if you have an old Dallas: The Roleplaying Game laying around, I'll give that a whirl.

What I'm saying here is that I'll try just about anything, and I've played enough games that I can probably ease into an unfamiliar ruleset fairly quickly (like I did with Scion, Shadows of Esteren, and now Call of Cthulhu). I like character-making.

I live in France, so my hours are odd, but I speak only English (I'm an American expat with no gift for learning languages - even after ten years here my French is barely usable). I prefer text, but I can do voice chat (if you don't mind me being quiet at first).
