As the subject line says, I'm hoping to start a group that would be interested in one of the systems as described below...
Play Location/Method: Northern VA, face to face, preferably at Game Parlor in Chantilly to begin with.
Game/System: I'm currently in a D&D 3.5 campaign, so I'd like to try a new system. I have in mind True20, HARP, Castles & Crusades, or perhaps GURPS (more or less in that order of preference). I'd also be open to d20 Modern if enough people are interested.
Player or GM? I'm willing to GM to start, but I'd like to rotate GMing duties. My experience GMing is limited, but I do enjoy the creative outlet and running games. If you're patient and willing to put up with occasional blunders on my part, it's all good.
Time/Frequency: Since I'm already playing in a biweekly Saturday campaign, my time is somewhat limited. I'd say twice a month at the most, maybe once a month, and preferably on a Saturday.
Genre: I'm open to fantasy, modern, sci-fi, or post-apoc.
At this point I'm just throwing out a feeler to see if anyone would be interested in gaming with one of the above systems on an ongoing basis. In addition, I know it's a common request in this type of ad, but I'll say it anyway: I'd prefer mature, sociable people without emotional hangups. If you have trouble getting along with others and being a part of a team, no offense but please don't respond. A roleplaying game is as much a social activity as it is a game.
We would have to decide some of the issues above first, i.e., what game system and what genre to use. I do lean toward immersive roleplaying, though I do like some good combat as well. I'm ok with powergaming to a point, but I think in excess it's just plain annoying and takes the fun out of roleplaying.
If anyone is interested, just respond to this thread and maybe we can get something going. Maybe you've been thinking about trying out one of the above systems but have never gotten around to it for whatever reason; this might be your chance.
