Just like my first program.

Hey everybody, I've been gaming since the late 1970s, and I found this site via the Facebook.

I'm unlike a lot of the world in that I'm not a fan of D&D5e (more because I'm old than anything else), but I do like the FFG Star Wars variant a great deal.

I've bee here just long enough to know that this is a pretty good community, and I hope it grows.

I work in Hollywood as a writer, which means I'm mostly doing nothing of value with my life.

Thanks for having me.

Hi Keith, welcome to GP. I work in animation and have had similar disillusioned feelings with my field. Since you've been around GP for a bit have you found a game to join yet?

I'm in this one.

It's weird. I have several of the FFG books, but I've never seen this "basic" game, and I'm having a blast so far. Not as configurable as the rules I have, but much simpler to play... so far.

When I get truly comfortable with the gamers plane message board interface, I think I'll try to run a Morrow Project game with people who know nothing of that game...

In time

Welcome keithjohnson! Always glad to see when people dive straight in, and I'm really pleased you're happy with the community; I'll take some credit for where it's at, but by in large, it's everyone who's participated who made it that way. And not everyone is a 5e fan, though it's the most popular system right now. SWFFG is definitely a strong competitor for it though!

Hi keithjohnson, glad to have you join us. Haven't been gaming as long as you (only since 1981), haha.

Glad to be here!

The group with whom I play table-top every week is made up of all people who were not born when I started gaming...

I suck.

Hey, keithjohnson! I didn't discover RPG's til 1987 but I am fortunate that I still semi-regularly play with the same bunch of guys I started out with. Glad to have another fellow old-timer here. :-) Happy gaming!
