Looking for my fix

Hey there,

I'm a 53-year-old rpg veteran looking for gaming fun.

For decades I played tabletop, for a year or so I tried pbp at some site, but that was weird. It was two or three years ago, and now I took a look around in the pbp world, and I realized there are a lot of options.

Judging by the welcome threads this community felt really nice for me, and seeing the games I think -- and hope -- the style of games is a better match for me than that earlier attempt.

Lots of folks in our age range on GP and there's a good variety of systems & genres of games played around these parts. Anything in particular you're looking for?

Here's a few helpful links:

I like a lot of things, but these days cyberpunk, dark fantasy, modern occult investigation, and maybe WH40K are nibbling at my brain.

Also, system-wise I'm very curious about Fate and PbtA. I've had some short encounters with Fate, but no experience with PbtA.

Welcome, rpg.veteran. What was weird about your prior PBP experience? Was it a culture problem, impenetrable cliques, or just the site was set up awkwardly?

Something that I don't have a problem with, but I'm just not interested in: romantic/erotic gm-less two-player games. And, though officially there was no limit on the styles / genres of games, users almost exclusively wanted that kind of game.

That sounds very oddly niche and specific for the site that you played in.

I hope even a quick browse here in our Games Tavern reveals we play a ton of games, both familiar and mainstream as well as rare and esoteric.

Some sites kind of (unintentionally) specialize in those kinds of games.

I've run into that same issue... if you try to find a site that doesn't water your descriptions down to PG-13, it seems like you end up with a lot of that kind of thing.

Luckily, not here!

Welcome aboard!

Generally speaking, I'm interested.

Right now, my plate is full, but I'll try to remember your offer.

And this thing you do is really inspiring!
