Hello!

#1 Post by Hvalreki »

I’m new to the site and just getting back into RPG after many years of not playing. Have always been a fan but lost touch with the hobby over time.

My favorite system is Traveller. Still have most of the original books I bought as a kid. Recently had the pleasure of playing some Play By Post games and am currently Refereeing my first game on another site.

My close 2nd favorite is AD&D and the original D&D and my reason for joining this site. Hoping to join a game just posted using just the original rules.

Still learning how to be a good DM/Ref in PBP. It’s a bit different than in person and taking some adjustment but a lot of fun.

Other systems I like/liked are

Call of Cthulhu
Paranoia
Top Secret
Car Wars
Gamma World
Stormbringer
Traveller 2300
Boot Hill

Looking forward to gaming again!

Cheers

Welcome, Hvalreki!
Do I recognize your username from somewhere??
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Maybe, I haven’t come across another Hvalreki yet but could be more than one of us out there. I’m on another PBP site (not sure on the rules here yet about naming other platforms). Also on some gaming discord servers.

Welcome!
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.
