EDIT: NOW LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL PLAYERS. (see next post)
Title says it all.
I'm looking for players for a new weekly or bi-weekly 13th Age campaign in Falmouth, MA. (Check out an excellent review of 13th Age here -- it's D&D in the same way Pathfinder is D&D.)
The goal is to put together a great group of players that want to have fun, can joke around a bit, but want to actually play rather than sit around and discuss the latest episode of [insert show here]. If you're a player who likes to get engaged with the story and is proactive about stuff, that's awesome and I'd love to have you.
If you're looking for a hardcore number-crunching grognard session, this likely isn't for you, especially since 13th Age is light on the rolling and heavy on the role-ing (is that even a word?). I guess what I'm saying is that I'm shooting for a nice, casual balance of play and banter.
So, what kind of folks am I looking for? That's tough. Everything past this point might make me sound like a self-important jerk. I've been playing RPGs for about 25 years and finding compatible gamers via the Internet is one of the toughest things to do with the hobby. This means I have some criteria which saves everybody unnecessary anguish. Each one of these has a story I'd like not to go through again.
Here's who I'm not looking for...
Still reading? Hooray! You don't think I'm an ass! (Or do and are just wondering how much more of an ass I can look like.)
Now, for the things that make me seem like a totally awesome dude and your new favorite DM:
If this all seems cool, awesome. Any takers? Reply or shoot me a PM.
* Yes, I know Francis is a parody.

Here's who I'm not looking for...
- Please no Creepy Gamer of the Year candidates. If you are clean, sober, have a good grasp of hygiene and can carry on normal social interactions without coming off as sketchy or skeevy, then I'd love to have you at the table.
- Please no 4chan refugees if at all possible, but we could probably make an exception if you're nice enough. SA goons and Redditors are fine.
- No smokers, sorry. I know you could just smoke outside, but that stuff carries inside and I have an infant son to think of.
- No politics. I'm personally very political, but I respect others enough that I don't bring it up unless I know I'm in like company. I don't want tension at my table over real-world politics.
- No spotlight hogs or drama llamas. Share the table. It's gaming, not Julliard. I expect people to roleplay, not shoot for an Oscar.
- Please no Captain Know-It-Alls. I'm pretty good at detecting crap and waving your figurative junk around and pretending you're hot stuff will just mean you won't get invited back. There's no need to impress anyone.
- No grognards who want to hate on [insert game here], or who think [insert game here] is the best ever and no game could possibly be better. You know who you are. I tend to like all games and there's a good chance you'd be crapping on one of the ones I enjoy. Edition warriors can die in a fire.

Now, for the things that make me seem like a totally awesome dude and your new favorite DM:
- I've been around the block, gaming-wise, but I still like to run games that are fun. I'm not a guy who's opinions about gaming are set in stone. I like to hear about how others like to play and enjoy games.
- I'm social. I have stuff outside regular gaming sessions, and I'm not afraid of meeting new people. I like to game with people who I'd ideally like to hang out with outside of gaming.
- I don't hate games. There are some games I don't like, but I don't hate them. I personally like all sorts of things, so your favorite game isn't going to be the subject of ridicule.
- I have beer.
If this all seems cool, awesome. Any takers? Reply or shoot me a PM.
