30+ yrs of tabletop RPG experience, amateur writer/artist, anime/comic book/sci-fi/fantasy/mystery/wuxia/and many things fan. I've played D&D 1E, 2E, 5E, GURPS (many sub-books), Mage the Ascension, Werewolf the Apocalypse, Toon (once), DC Heroes, Marvel Superheroes, Pathfinder, Mutants and Masterminds, D20 modern (briefly) and FATE (briefly) mostly with my same crew, but we are scattered to the winds and can only play pathfinder PBP at the moment. I own Numenera and it looks awesome, but never played. I'm playing 1 live D&D5E game but I'd like another with stronger role play/more story oriented than my current popcorn fun game.
PREFERRED STYLE OF PLAY - Story/character oriented. I prefer to play a hero, usually chaotic or neutral good to give you a vague idea. I enjoy exploration, mystery, action, some horror, but not murder hobo stuff. I prefer dramedy in the tone/vein of X-Files, all Joss Whedon stories, Cowboy Bebop, Harry Potter, Full Metal Alchemist (manga/Brotherhood anime), Twin Peaks, Avatar+Korra, Critical Role, etc. I'm not against high comedy like Acq Inc/TAZ but not my sweet spot. Historically I haven't done much voices or acting stuff, but I'm excited to experiment with more of that.
WHEN I EVENTUALLY GM - I will definitely use character's backgrounds for stories (something I've never experienced as a PC for 30+ yrs). I like the ensemble cast vibe with everyone getting a chance to be in the spotlight. I prefer weird, more science fantasy tones with race/gender/gender ID not really being issues at all. I'm a straight white male and have tons of things I can escape to and I sympathize with folks unlike me, who keep getting punched in the face with sexism, racism, homophobia, and all the other pettinesses EVEN in their escapism. One of the reasons I enjoyed Black Panther so much. Anyway, imagination and heroical fantastical adventure should be for everyone equally and it'd be pretty central to my design. Very open to critique to improve as well. But that's later, though.
PICTURE PROPS: My drawing, my design for webcomic I drew some of.
