[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 1755869, member: 18701"] Hey, I'm Ryan and I DM a 3.5 Planescape game in the South Bay (Santa Clara area) or East Bay (Livermore area). I'm looking for 1 to 3 new players to join our group so we can get more game time in (we don't play as often as I'd like). I try to shoot for at least 2 Saturdays a month (from about 1PM-Midnight) but that's just not happening...curse my players for having personal lives! Also, if you have a place to play, we are willing to meet there if the environment is presentable. That might help if the distance is a problem for you, but it must be either South or East Bay (no farther north than Fremont). The ideal player would be: Between 20-30 y/o Enjoy roleplaying, character growth, and being creative Have a sense of humor, very laid back, social, & enjoyable to be around Have good hygiene & won’t be annoying Drinking is cool if you can handle your alcohol but no drugs around us Not a rules lawyer but willing to help out with rules when it's needed Put the storyline first and mechanics second Non argumentative (unless it's reasonable of course...I'm not always right & I don’t know everything) No experience needed but willing to learn & read on your own time Doesn’t think of outside game discussion/research as “homework” or boring Able to attend most sessions & can handle playing for many hours in a day Doesn’t live a controversial lifestyle About us & the campaign: We live in the South Bay (Santa Clara area) & East Bay (Livermore area) DM - me, 27 y/o – 3 years on & off DM’ing experience & 2 years player experience Player 1 – female (my gf) 22 y/o – 1 year player experience Player 2 - male 33 y/o & his 2 sons – 2 years player experience Son 1 - 16 y/o – 6 month player experience Son 2 - 14 y/o – 6 month player experience We are all very down to earth no-nonsense people. Overly sensitive personalities probably wouldn’t fit into our group. We like to laugh and joke about everything and we are the type to get along with other fun & friendly people. Our problem is that when the father can't show up, I'm out 3 players because his sons can't show up.
