Introducing : Wizard Lizard

#1 Post by Wizard Lizard »

Hi.

I've seen a google+ post about a Castle Gargantua/Into the Odd PbP game around here. I've never tried PbP but was always tempted by the idea, so here I am.

Short bio : I'm a student in modern litterature, in France. I play the harmonica, spend a bit too much time on videogames and most of it reading about or working on tabletop RPG stuff.

Slightly longer RPG bio : I started DMing around 2009. As a twelve year old, I didn't know much about AD&D 2 except that there were funky dices that we used to tell cool stories. I never really stopped. I've played a lot of games, and DMed much more than I've been a player-character. My favorite game has been Apocalypse World, then it was Lamentations of the Flame Princess, then the Little Brown Books. I also love Into the Odd, Sorcerer, Carcosa, and Traveller Classic which I've never played or Ref'd, just read and thought "this is amazing".

As a DM, I place the most importance on player agency, pacing, fun, and letting the dice fall where they may. Not in a particular order. People either die all the time, or almost none at all in my games.

As a PC, I don't know how well I do, but I tend to play as "myself in the shoes of someone else" more than method acting, and usually discover the personnality and background of my character as I play.

Thank you all for this warm welcome, I don't plan on starting a game here yet but when I get the hang of it, it might be a cool experience too. I'll head off to see if there's place in the game I saw on google+ :)

Keven : I get a lot of "you're a wizard, Harry!" and a few amateurs of a certain band, too ;)

Welcome aboard!
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.
