Greetings! :D
I'm relatively new to tabletop RPGs, but I'm eager to try them out - and since none of my friends are quite into gaming, and I also prefer playing in text over spoken word, I'm searching for a small online group to join! This site seemed inviting, and here I am, hoping to find an adventure! ^...^
Edit: not looking for any more games right now, but I'll still listen to offers for the future! :D
What I'd love to play!
I'm willing to learn any system, and the more important part to me is the setting and the story. Of course, my lack of knowledge and experience might be a bit unfitting for harcore games with heavy focus on strategy, and I'm much more interested in writing a story over tinkering with the actual battle mechanics - although I'd love to do both! Home-brewed campaigns are great, even when unbalanced. :D
I'd prefer to play an adventure written by the GMs themselves, even if it's not very detailed or even not finished yet. I want a unique story, even though I trust that there's a lot of great published adventures! :D I'm open to these as well, still, but I love to read original plots and settings that people come up with.
I have a lot of genres I like, but some of them I'm more excited to play!
- Fantasy - the knights, mages and warlocks kind, the more original the world-building is, the better!
- Modern world with added elements of supernatural - see, vampires, werebeings, ghosts, witches.
- Pagan folklore. Slavic, namely, although I certainly would like to explore myths and legends of other regions!
- Post-apocalypse and apocalypse-in-progress, especially when caused by zombies or pandemics.
- Horror. Both atmospheric and gore, although I can't say I'm very fond of eldritch beings.
- Detective. Especially when combined with horror or fantasy! I love a good mystery, and a good mystery in an original setting is a delight.
- Animals. There needs to be more RPGs about animals. Yeah, it's probably more of a general forum RP thing, but still!
- Humour. It's nice when it is present in other genres, but I'd be curious to see a humorous psychedelic fantasy story. Maybe a road trip that ends up in other world?
- Time travel. Especially the cycling time travel, with one day repeating over and over. :D
Do you need to know what a player I am?
But even if you don't, I'm going to write it anyway.
- My timezone is GMT+3.
- I want to play via text only, and preferrably on only one - this? - site.
- I don't have a lot of experience, but I have a lot of enthusiasm! :D
- I have a bit of an erratic schedule, and I am not very good at being consistent in my appearances. I'll try my best, but I can't promise that I would never drop out of a game.
- I love writing! Long posts, short posts, descriptive posts, dialogue-only, I'm pretty sure I can adapt to your format. :D And yeah, I love emotes - at least in non-gaming posts.
- I'm best at playing two types of characters: either friendly, cheerful, compassionate ones or grumpy and prickly loners who secretly wish for love and rainbows. In other words, they all are on the good side of the spectrum, if we're talking monochrome. I can sometimes play other types, but pretty much all of them will be nice to an extent. XD
Things I'm not good at:
- Romance. I usually can't write a convincing romance - I can try, of course, but it will likely never be my forte! And if I do try, it has all the chances to be cheesy and way too cute. :D
- Historical settings. I never was very interested in historical stories, and my knowledge of many time periods is quite lacking. I will try my best to do research, should I play anything that requires it, but mistakes are to be expected!
- Drama. I'm afraid I cannot be proactive in drama writing - I can react to dramatic happenings, but I'll have trouble with initiating or describing one.
Things that might be a problem:
- I'm not a native English speaker, even though I know it quite well! :D My native language is Russian, which is less strict with its sentence structure than English - and because of the force of habit, I will sometimes place words in order that doesn't quite work in English as well as it does in Russian.
- While I'm not good at writing romance, I love reading it - and combined with my excitement from the games, it makes me ship characters! XD Not that I'll ever try to push these ideas (unless other player is okay with it, I guess?), but I imagine some might be uncomfortable with even just the remarks. Better to be warned in any case!
- I don't use explicit language. I'm completely fine with others using it, sometimes it's very fitting for the setting, but I would do my best to avoid it - which can be atmosphere-breaking for the darker kinds of stories.
- I like to proud myself on being polite, open-minded and willing to work with others, but I'm afraid that sometimes I get too invested into things, and an overly enthusiastic player can probably become a nuisance (...actually, I'm already being overly enthusiastic with this post, I suspect). At least I will read all the world-building stuff you'll give me! XD
...I feel like half of all that info was unnecessary, but brevity is not my virtue.
Do feel free to invite me to your games even if they're not in my favorite genres, I'm mostly just looking for a nice group to play with! :D
Anyway, thanks for reading, and have an amazing day! ^...^
