Veteran GM looking to play this time

Hello, I am the Rune Knight. I am an avid roleplayer and worldbuilder who has been playing RPGs since he was young. I've dabbled in a lot of things, from video game development to digital art, but the only thing I ever find myself coming back to is this hobby.

I'm a veteran of the Fate RPG system, but I've only ever played it as a GM: never as a player. I aim to rectify that. I feel that - given the opportunity - I would make a great player, so I'm exploring as many PbP sites as I can to find a Fate game that will have me.


My Writing Style: Longer posts, often with in-depth plots, character development and extensive settings/lore. I make a dedicated effort to minimize typographical errors and to use good grammar. Generally at least two paragraphs per post, but usually longer.

Posting Speed: 1 post/week


What I Bring To the Table:
• I really love to worldbuild, and to explore the possibilities of new universes; it's why I host many games
• I love collaborating with others and brainstorming new ideas; it's why I play Fate so much
• I have been told that I tend to place an emphasis on narrative and the relationships between characters
• I pride myself on being able to separate the character from the player, and to not meta-game

What I Look For In Players:
• They treat the story like a story. I'm not saying you need to be a novelist or a poet, I just want to see proper sentences, paragraphs, and logical consistency, which shouldn't be too much to ask for
• They love and support developing team dynamics and character arcs. My games encourage collaborative storytelling and open communication
• They're pretty chill. Sometimes there's a retcon or on-the-fly justification that needs to be made to keep things fun, and that's okay

Welcome, Rune_Knight. FATE gets some attention here, and I hope you find a great game to play in!

Welcome to the GP community, Rune Knight! Fate doesn't get a lot of play around these parts, but maybe we can change that. (I've run and played in a few dozen Fate PbP games over the years across a couple of different sites.) I've played since Fudge and Fate 2.0, but have a frustration with the system in that I'm weary of playing with people who arrive ready to dislike it... but could probably be convinced to run or play something when the time's right.

Thank you, everyone, I'm excited to begin! :)

@Harrigan Well at least you can be certain I won't come in with that key issue. ;) I love Fate to pieces already.

I'm curious: what do you mean by "when the time is right"? I assume you mean when you have enough free time to spare for another game. If so, then I look forward to that, if things align.

If things do align, then I have plenty of ideas to offer from across many genres for story premises we could explore, and I'm open to having other players join to make a group.

Greetings and Salutations Rune_Knight! I'm also a huge fan of Fate. My current Fate game is full up, but if I get an opening down the road or start another I'll be sure to let you know. I'd love to have someone who's both knowledgeable and into the system on board.

Thanks, @JoshuaMabry, I'd be very much on board with that. I've heard that I might be the type of person who likes the Eberron setting, so if it does happen that I can join that would be incredible. :)

Yup — exactly that. :)

Welcome, Rune Knight, from another forever GM. I seldom get to play offline, so I come here for that and inevitably find myself running even more games. I have a passing familiarity with FATE and have found it enjoyable. My fave is Savage Worlds, followed closely by Pathfinder 1e, and I'm giving PF 2e another chance.
