[QUOTE="Maine-iac!, post: 3337912, member: 49463"] Hi, Normally I might put this in the Gamers Seeking Gamers section, except that I am not really looking here for said gamers (unless you're local and recognize the post!) I mostly am looking for feedback on a post I made on the forums of a local game store. Is it too much, too harsh, or should I go about gamer seeking in a different way? If so, what should I do to make my post more ‘inviting,’ given the information I already have in it? So here it is! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We are looking for a committed, mature 3.5E role player who enjoys gaming. What we mean by this is: Gaming is our hobby, we make time for it. We like to roll dice, kill monsters, and pretend to be something we are not. Most importantly, we do this to have fun. We run a 3.5E (house rules light {no psionics, for instance}) game every other Sunday (set) from noon to 5ish. The majority of our role-playing is done on our message board, so we handle the roll playing during our sessions. This works for us as some of us (me) are not professional actors. We still role play at the table, however. We typically leave that part open for player/DM preference (speaking in third person is fine.) We relax! Other thoughts • They must be willing to commit to a set schedule (understandably, sometimes you have to miss a session, but it should be the exception, rather than the rule.) • We try to work things out rather than get excited about them. The core three of us have been around for 2 years now and we are very insistent on solving differences politely. • With the last bulletin, we do our best to follow the rules, and at times, we WILL look up a rule at the table that might have an impact on game play at that moment.
