Bio

“Enter a bio about yourself that other Roll20 players can see.” Okay then, here we go.

I've been playing RPG's for slightly less than 20 years now and I enjoy Fantasy & Sci-Fi games. I am an experienced player & ST both D&D 3.5 and World of Darkness (with a special place in my heart for Camarilla Vampires) but have ST'd and played all of the systems I've listed as "Enjoys Playing" in real life.

I was thinking to describe my preference for game types with words like “social/investigation games over combat-based ones” or “prefers interesting characters” but I don't think that sums it up very well. I prefer to unravel (or create) a challenging mystery or a complicated Machiavellian plot over the simple thrill of fighting.

I've heard too many lack-lustre descriptions of “your sword kills the goblin” and spent too many hours mindlessly rolling dice between everyone else's turn to truly enjoy combat any more. Convincing a stubborn Duke into letting the group pass through the village by soft words alone or turning my character into the city's new vampire elder just by using intelligent and subtle machinations is what really gets my heart pounding.

I have been best described as "a Tolkein-esk Dwarf" in my outlook. I start quietly unless I really push myself (due to previous attempts at online/PbP roleplaying not going to well) but quickly become an active, reliable, & long-term player once I'm comfortable with the game's style and characters personalities. I'm also an easy to handle no-drama-person who requires no safety net as well as being punctual & LGBTQ+ friendly.

Enjoys Playing
