Aging gamer seeks opportunity for character development, wanton slaughter of lesser beings, and camaraderie with others who ALSO find that the best graphics are in your own head.

I enjoy my characters complex, my stories deep and my hooks plentiful, but I also realize that plot hooks are a two way street. Sure, GMs should build them into their stories, but players can offer up interesting quirks and traits by writing compelling background stories for their own PCs. My favorite players to play along side, or GM for are those players who give as much as they receive, both to their fellow players and to their GM. It makes for a much more compelling experience over all, and keeps people coming back for more.
