Hello Everyone!
This seems like an exciting way to play RPGs! It seems really clear and simple and well designed, I'm looking forward to giving it a try!
I grew-up playing Tabletop, starting with HeroQuest, then AD&D and eventually 3.5e, but after high school found it difficult to find a group and the time to play.
A few years ago I was looking to get back into RPGs and came across PbP. I gave it a brief try on another site, but couldn't really get a game going consistently so gradually lost interest.
Last year I actually got a good Tabletop game going with my wife and some co-workers using Fate and "The Secrets of Cats" setting (all my co-workers are cat lovers). None of them had played a TableTop RPG before, so I was a little unsure about how it was going to go, but it was amazing. We only got together every other month but we played through an entire adventure over the course of the year and we all had a blast during each session!
It has really stoked my interest to play more but given our various schedules I don't think we'll be able to do it more often. I remembered PbP and thought I'd give it another try. I came across Gamers Plane and I think it looks awesome, so I'm really hoping to find a game or two to enjoy!
My interests are quite broad. I've always been partial to medieval fantasy (growing up reading LotR, Dragonlance and Wheel of Time, and later GoT, Mistborn, Kingkiller, First Law ...) and Sci-fi (growing up watching Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactic and reading Asimov). After listen to a couple actual play podcasts, I'd be interested to try Shadowrun or cyberpunk-like settings. I played a oneshots of "Modern" James Bond / Mission Impossible like adventure and it was fun and would also be into a more realistic LeCarre-type spy thriller too. I'm not the biggest fan of horror or superhero genre, but I'm open to trying new things. Steampunk is something I've never tried but I think I would like.
When playing Tabletop, I've almost always been the GM, but the few times I've been a PC I've really enjoyed it, so I think that might be a fun way to start, especially since I need to learn how PbP works.
Anyways, looking forward to meeting the community and learning to play in this medium!
Cheers,
Chal
