The_Universe
First Post
Due to the recent permanent departure of some players from our current D20 Modern/Sidewinder: Recoiled campaign, The Universe's game has openings!
We're a mature group of early to mid twenty somethings (a mix of students and professionals) hoping to meet some new people with whom to share some good ol' gaming fun! You'd be gaming with such ENworld luminaries as Queen Dopplepopolis (my wife), AIM-54 (a grad school buddy), Cuteasaurus (a college friend back in the midwest), and Nuclear Wookiee (high school/college buddy), as well as another couple of people making short-stint and/or cameo appearances. Most of us are married, nearly married, or otherwise involved - singles or couples are welcome!
We do nearly all of our playing in person (pencil and paper to the death!), but we do have a strong presence here - including a private messageboard for in and out of character discussions. We're reasonably laid back, but have the capacity for serious roleplay - we favor high adventure regardless of setting and/or campaign, and always try to pepper things with a little bit of humor.
Our current campaign is a low FX game set in 1879 of what at least *appears* to be the real world. Expect world-spanning conspiracy, indescribable horror, and the general inclination to fill both with lead (we're more army of darkness than call of cthulhu).
In general terms, we favor the D20 system (and OGL variants like Mutants and Masterminds) above all others, though one of the players (AIM-54) has expressed the desire to run a few one shots using Shadowrun. We'll probably oblige him.
If you have other questions about the group you'd be joining, feel free to post them here or (if you prefer something less public) post a question on our private messageboard linked above. If all else fails, feel free to e-mail me at kennon dot bauman at gmail dot com.
All that being said, there is one thing you should know:
We're friends. Some of us have been friends for a very long time, and some of us have joined this circle of friendship more recently. We're *not* just looking people to game with occaisonally who we'll never see in another social situation; we'd like to be friends with *you,* too. Most of what we do together is game related (after all, we do all have private lives) but if catching a movie, celebrating a birthday, or otherwise hanging out is beyond the scope of what you're looking for, you might want to turn your attention to another thread.
We've had three players leave the game, but I can only comfortably accept two replacements - we've had problems with group inflation in the past.
I look forward to hearing from you.
