Hello everyone. I'm Optimus. I've been playing TTRPGs for roughly a decade and change and running them as GM for nearly as long. However as I'm sure many people here can attest it can be hard find time in one's schedule to play games while also pretending to be a functional adult. For that reason I've decided to try my hand at PbP. I used to play a bit in RP threads back in high school but those were very unstructured narrative games. I eventually would like to start running my own but I figured that it would be be best to get some experience as a player with others who are more accustomed to the style.

Welcome to GP! Is the thread title a riff on the Glass Cannon podcast?

I have a wide range of tastes. I tend to prefer games that lean into exploration and tactical combat, but I've also had a lot of fun with more RP and story driven experiences. I have a slight preference for sci-fi settings and horror but still enjoy fantasy. I'd say I'm a bit of gameplay chameleon in that regard.

I was basing it off the expression "New phone, who dis?"

Ah ok, wasn't familiar with that expression lol. I'm guessing GC based their show on that same expression then.
