Hey, Howdy, hey!
So, I'm getting antsy to play a game. Does anyone need a player for their current campaign? I can also play in a live online game at anytime, because my schedule is quite empty at the moment. I wouldn't mind being a Game Master for a game, but I don't feel like a competent GM, as I've never managed to GM through an entire campaign. I'm looking to be a player, so I can experience and learn more before I get back into trying to run games. The genre doesn't matter as long as it involves role playing.

As a player, I like to find a niche where I'm needed, but if I'm flying blind, I gravitate towards dwarven clerics or some kind of ranger, (for non fantasy games it's akin to philosopher/healer or explorer/detective).

As a GM, I like to develop a story, but I feel like I fall for the "wanting to make a novel" trap. To help me out, I think I would need players who want to take part in the story, be willing to have a pre-game discussion about who they want to play, what they want the goal to be, and come to a consensus with other players about that goal. (If it sounds like I don't know what I'm talking about, then that's one of my problems).

Either way, Let me know if I sound like someone you could play with, and post a few words or send me a message.

I have a custom L5R game which still needs players, if that could interest you.

Are you interested in any system in particular?
I have 3 games open games you can have a look at.
Most are systems home-brewed for fun with little long term commitment required

Thanks you two, those sound like fun games! I'm not into Zombie Apocalypse games, but the Strange Aeons and Age of Discoveries look fun. I'll read through those games and then I'll message you about with a character concept that I would like to play. If that's ok with you, CESN.

@Delio, what kind of character is needed for your L5R game, and assuming you are talking about the "Rise of Legends" game, which clans are not represented?

Yes, that's that one.

For the clans, i have currently a Dragon, a Crane, and a Phoenix.

If i don't get the 7 players i was looking for, i plan to focus a bit on the Lion/Crane war currently going on in my setting, while the Crab is focused on defending the wall against Shadowland's creatures.

Given that ... Having another of the Dragon or the Phoenix could be a good idea for diplomatic plays. Having a Lion could be the perfect counterpart for the Crane's player.
Unicorn Clan is a good ally of the Crane for now.
Finally. A Scorpion could be the chaotic element that keeps everyone on the verge of explosion.


And i'm wondering if i won't allow players to play 2 characters.

Saying so, you could play whatever you want.

Cool, I'll create a character this weekend and submit it to you. Being Easter weekend, it might not be until Monday though.

Let me know if you have any questions. Age of Discoveries is highly experimental storytelling with me messing up with the player's characters, while Strange Aeons is straight from the Pathfinder's book, but with a... modified system which turns out to be very similar to PbtA I found just recently (though I had been warned before)
