Experience with all D&D editions, as well as other gaming mechanics like DOGS IN THE VINEYARD, WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY (1st and 2nd edition), DARK HERESY, BURNING WHEEL, DEAD INSIDE, ARDUIN, FIVE RINGS, TOP SECRET/S.I. STAR TREK RPG (by Fasa which is probably now out of business), D.20 STAR WARS, SPIRIT OF THE CENTURY, HOLLOW EARTH EXPEDITION, MUTANTS & MASTERMINDS, ALTERNITY, CALL OF CTHULHU, DEADLANDS and D.20 PULP . I have less familiarity with the following games: RUNEQUEST, SHADOWRUN, USAGI YOJIMBO, CHAMPIONS, FANTASY HERO, GURPS, TRAVELER, D.20 SPYCRAFT, STAR FRONTIERS, KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON, ALTERNITY, ARS MAGICA, IRON HEROES, WORLD OF DARKNESS, BRP, MODERN D.20, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE RPG, PARANOIA, SPACE OPERA, IN NOMINE, WEIRD WARS, BASIC D.20, TRAVELLER, SHADOWRUN, KING ARTHUR PENDRAGON, IN A WICKED AGE, JAMES BOND
, SAVAGE WORLDS, BUSHIDO and MUNCHKIN.
I have noticed D&D doesn't lend itself to much RPGing so it depends on the person running it as well as the players. On that note, keep in mind I'm more interested in a great group of gamers and care less about the actual game being played.
Interested in playing with a group that's mature and NOT mostly into hack and slash. More than roleplaying desired . .. a campaign that breathes and lives in itself, like a good novel, would be great. Big bonus if I can hang out with you outside of the game b/c that will make the actual gaming experience more enjoyable.
Favored areas: exploring, true roleplaying, moral dilemmas, realms that make logical sense in the world building sense, some familiarity with History a bonus, players who can laugh and aren't uptight or rules lawyers or ego driven or selfish. Basic manners go without saying.
P.S. For DMs who like it, I have DMed for many years (i.e. I started at 11 and am now 3Cool, so can appreciate being a player at the other end of the table. Have gamed several very long campaigns ranging from ages 20-65 (yes, 65, heh). I am located in the southern peninsula; about 15 minutes north of Palo Alto.
P.P.S. I am in a couple of games now but I am open to another one if it sounds promising, depending on the strength of the person running the game, as well as the dynamics of the players (i.e. I find that well established gaming groups are best b/c they're less likely to have friction. Yeah, I know, not always. Some people like to suffer. Heh). I would prefer to not have to drive more than a half hour in one direction for a weekday game. Weekend games are open to more driving. If we are talking about a weekend game, I would hope the group plays for a long time.
