Hi! I'm Nathan! And I like tabletop RPGs. Here's some cliche junk about how cliche it is to say that.
I absolutely love playing various games outside of Dungeons and Dragons, but still like Dungeons and Dragons. But if you're the same way, you've probably noticed how impossible it is to get involved with a quality game that is not Dungeons and Dragons. I have a lot to say about why this is the case but I won't go into that here and just say that there aren't nearly enough people playing non-D&D games. It's something that makes me want to cry.
You and I though... we know the value of playing something other than the basics. Wizard? No. How about a Crane clan Asahina pacifist shugenja? Fighter? Bah. Even a Weaponmaster with a little extra MK has access to more interesting mechanics. You and I are actually aware of the world outside of D&D, and we never get to play in it. I would love to take that journey with you and rock out in Battletech/Mechwarrior, heavy bolter some tyranids, and save the world at PL12. Roll20 doesn't even have the capacity for me to tell you all the games I'm interested in right now.
That said (and I know this doesn't mean much to YOU as a person), I have essentially been relegated to the default GM for every game I've played in the past five years, unless the game has been you-guessed-it-D&D. And trust me when I say I am passionate about GMing, but for the love of Broseidon, King of the Broceans, could someone else be passionate about it? I want to hand that control over to someone! It's seriously not as hard as people make it out to be, and I am MORE than happy to be a good player. No rules-lawyering, backseat GMing, or metagaming here. If you want help, ask by all means but I am not going to consider it my place to tell you how to GM when it's you that's in charge.
There's an entire universe out there. The story you want to tell is already down here. All you have to do is ask three to five people if they want to participate in it. And those of us dying to play anything but D&D will be grateful for it, and incredibly supportive (or I will be, and I'll force others not to be idiots).
