Hey all! New player in the house :)

#1 Post by dawnrazor »

Introducing myself here. I've played RPGs since b/x was hot from the printers, with a hiatus during the second half of the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s. I kept following my favourite games online though, and kept buying books. In 2011 I managed to coerce my old crew to start gaming again and now we play regularly again and have recruited new players into the group. I also play in a weekly 5e-game online.

I'm mostly GM:ing, but love to play also. We have played a lot of different systems and genres over the years. These days, we mostly play various old school D&D variants and d100 games like Call of Cthulhu and OpenQuest. Genre-wise, it's fantasy and horror (and my personal favourite Dark Fantasy).

One thing I've never tried is Play-by-Post, so forgive me if I ask stupid questions in that area.

Absolutely.

In case you haven't seen it yet, there's a wealth of helpful information in the 'Tips For the Players' forum; specifically, the 'Tips For New Play-By-Post (PbP) Players' post.

Good luck, man, and good gaming!

Welcome, Anders. There's a great group of players here, and I'm sure you'll fit right in. Lots of old school variants get played here, and it seems like there's a smaller but interested crowd for BRP too. I'm sure you'll find a few games right up your alley!

Welcome to the party. There is a pretty good variety of games, so you should be able to find something that piques your interest.
On November 2nd I will 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.
