I've been an avid roleplayer for around 25 years, starting with AOL chat room games as a wee lad until I could find an awesome group of friends and gamers in college. I've played live chat, play-by-post, in-person, and VTT games and they all have their charms. I love deep roleplaying and meshing with other people's creativity, and can get down with some nice crunchy mechanics too - but I find myself favoring as time goes on more narrative-focused games. I've mostly played various iterations of D&D 2e/3e/3.5e/4e/5e, Pathfinder 1e/2e, 13th Age, and an epic World of Darkness campaign (mash up of Werewolf/Changeling/Vampire/Mage). I've dabbled in Call of Cthulhu (Delta Green), Shadowrun, and Exalted (Sidereals).
