Well just because I finally got back to post, both a roll player and a role
player, depending on the system. But I prefer role playing myself, keeps my
enjoyment level up. As well to comment on Anne's post on god charecters, oh
yes, I know of the players who love god charecters, here's my typical GM run
in with them.
"So tell me about your charecter"
"Well he is an orphan with extreme martial arts abilities and is rated deadly
with both hands and feet. He is a fully trained gun expert with high
marksmanship and is known for having an incredibly quick draw. Former trained
US army sniper, honorable discharge with no recall status. No friends, no
connections, and no obligations. Will kill on command."
"Thank you, and does he have hobbies, interests? What is his goal?"
"To shine his guns and use them."

Sorry to scroll the forum but I thought I would post this, is anyone in the
Ann Arbor area interested in a campaign I am trying to start, based in the
1920s and 30s, pulp adventure, using a modified "Over the Edge" system?
Please feel free to let me know.

Over the Edge system? I'm not familiar with that. Although, I probably
shouldn't stick my neck out too far in interest... my time
availability is next to nil. Both a good thing and a bad thing. Man,
you'd think being unemployed would give a person time to get fun
things done.... <Grins>

I manage to get some RP time in although I'm unemployed too. Dunno,
maybe it's because the WTW system makes efficient and effective use of
my time. Granted, it's mostly Cam, and I have to deal with people's
issues right up front, but hey, I'm a convert to LARP. Hmmm.. haven't
done anything D&D like yet, but.. perhaps that could change.
RadCon's coming up, i.e., there will be a convention in my home tri-
town area soon.

I'm also in the unemployed boat, and doubt much of my time is going to
be tied up until January when I'll resume my search for jobs, and be
finishing off my degree. Not to mention RoS taking up a minimum of 9
hours of my time a week.

Vidar- yeah, I'm pretty much not working on getting a job until after
January 1. I'm curently in 2-3 games and occassionally run more- so
adding another one in to an already busy social schedule is proably
not a great idea for me.

Anyone home?
Hi! Kae's here to let you know that she likes Traveller, Gamma World,
and In Nomine.
She finds D&D combat unnecessarily ponderous, and thinks its character
generation system stifles creativity.
She also believes that d20 could be the harbinger of doom for all RPGs.
The guys at the local game shops love her because she spends real money
on her dice collection.
She is currently involved in an In Nomine campaign, playing a Lilim
named Ginger who recently traded all the favors owed to her by the
other PCs to Lilith, for protection against a praticularly nasty NPC.
HeeHee! Carnage...!

Why is d20 the harbinger of doom for all RPGs?
Elaborate here, or perhaps in another item?

I'd imagine it's because of the "genericization" of RPGs that seems to
be happening because of d20: most games are compatable with others,
causing RPG writers to lose the will to write their own mechanics.
Just a guess, mind you, but I don't play GURPS for a similar reason.

I think posting to this conference requires a dice roll for a
level 17 necromancy spell. Here goes!
Hi, newbie Grexer papa here. My name is David Meyer and at the
time of this post I am a fifty-something US expatriate living in
Japan.
As for my RPG background, I played a little AD&D and Traveler
about forty years ago! Ten years or so ago I got into MUD-based RP
for a while (and will post in the more-relevant conference
momentarily). Then a few years ago played some web-forum-based RP.
All good fun.
I'd be interested in a bbs-conference-based RP game, if such a
creature were to return from internet limbo.
