[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5717447, member: 21938"] Lol! A job interview? Well, experience-wise I've never played any Saga Edition in anger, but I've got many years experience of d20-based systems in general including 3.5, PF, Babylon 5, Arcana Evolved, Iron Heroes and 4th Ed.. Plus 13 titles in the Lazy GM series gives you a fairly good inside idea about unpicking systems. I'm more often GM than player, but I'm currently in Who Wants To Be Wayfinder, and I was also in Blackrat's After Earth d20Future game. With PbP, I like that the slower pace allows time to develop characters and (as a GM) to have time to think about evolving plotlines that unfold according to the character's actions - at the moment I'm particularly playing with the notions of defining the whole world/setting around the character backgrounds and goals. I think it's kind of fun having a game where people from all around the world are involved too. I'm usually online every weekday, sometimes weekends, but not always. I can't promise every day posting but I try not to be the one holding things up. It's a bit easier as a player to post a little something. As GM, I find the need to prep combat maps etc. or compose a long transitional post can hold things up. As player, you don't need to do these things. I would also like to say that I have none of the above concerns about taking over a character. No offence to Toasterferret, but Darius doesn't seem to have a strongly evolved personality, apart from being the calm, quiet one. There isn't a detailed backstory either, which is good - I myself like a bit of Design-In-Play character development. If it was one of the other characters, I most definitely [I]would[/I] think twice! [/QUOTE]
