Hello!

#1 Post by Squid »

I'm looking to get back into gaming after many years away from the hobby. I started out with AD&D in the early 80's, moved onto StarWars D6 not too long after it came out, then life changed. After many (too many) years, I'm looking to get back into it again. I've never played in a Play-By-Post setting before, so it would be pretty new, but, it seems like it would be a good way to get playing again.

I've discovered the TinyD6 (Tiny Dungeons, Tiny Wastelands, Tiny Frontiers) games and have come to love the simplicity and low crunch of the system. I'm hoping to find a game using the TinyD6 system to join. I have GM'd before, but it has been quite a few years since I've run a serious game, so it would probably be best to get back into it as a player before trying to GM again.

Anyway, thanks for reading this far and I'm looking forward to getting back into the hobby again!

Curt

Welcome Curt! Sounds like you'll fit right in here.
Hope you find a game soon, and happy gaming!

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.
