Greetings!

#1 Post by katefan »

Hello. My name is Tom and I've been involved in role playing games for....

Jesus Christ. Forty years. Um, anyway, I've been involved in pbems for twenty years, starting with Star Trek and then super hero. I mostly GM because admittedly I'm a very temperamental player.

What else? I lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy, I'm a massive Kate Bush fan. I love pro wrestling and I write articles for The Agony Booth. Oh, and I own a cat. Honeybear. I didn't name her, she's a rescue. Not that it matters because I'm sure she's given herself a cool name like Amberdeath or something.

Anyway, glad to be here.

Welcome Tom! I feel like we've "met" on Facebook or LinkedIn or somewhere.
But while Unseen Servant started out with fantasy PbPs we've had (and have) several incredible SciFi games rocking with a variety of systems. I think our longest Sci-Fi (and one of our longest overall) is the Star Wars d6 game that Max_Vale is running over here: viewforum.php?f=124

Hopefully you find a game to your liking here. I've played PbEMs and PbPs on different sites (with different formats) and USS's forum format is the best (for me) that I've found. Enjoy the place, and ask questions - the members here are ridiculously supportive and cool. :)
Be well and be welcome!

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.

Welcome to the forums! Cheers for being a Fish Person.

OK, I'll allow this. And we are actually pretty ridiculous, anyway. :lol:
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.
