Topic: Introduce Yourself / Hallo Dar

Apologies if I seemed antagonistic, I had just finished leaving a forum-based RPG site (for obvious reasons) and was quite aggravated. Editing previous posts makes me think of drama, though – and although the tone of the letter wasn’t quite what I wanted to send, it still seems rather immature if I were to call a ‘do-over’ and rewrite it.

Thanks for the info about recruiting – almost all the RPG sites I’ve seen had some kind of area specifically for game ‘classifieds’ – for picking up new players, starting games, or checking interest for games. I was looking for something like that, I suppose.

I appreciate the help – and the empathetic response, instead of a “piss off,” to my incendiary post.

Topic: Introduce Yourself / Hallo Dar

Hello everyone, Amadameus here. I’ve been a tabletop RPG player for almost six years, and I’m quite experienced as a DM too, since I’ve been one for last three years.

I’m suspicious of the 4.0 D&D release, I loathe Eberron and Forgotten Realms (both are havens for powergamers and teenyboppers IMHO) but I’m starting to like certain parts of the Unearthed Arcana. More than anything, I stick to the 3.5e Player’s Handbook like it’s a Bible.

I’m very suspicious of powergamers and munchkingamers – I’ve gone through two forums now devoted to RPGs and found them to be filled with players who want nothing more than to give their lvl 2 Fighter a backstory involving royalty, a million gold pieces, and at least seven magical weapons that their character inherited from parents(which happen to be Gaia and Thor). Ugh.

This looks like an awesome site for RPGs and I’m super pumped to start using it, however I’m sort of wondering if there is a Recruitment thing anywhere? Is this site geared toward users playing via the internet, or more for groups IRL to meet and collaborate?

I guess the question is, could I find and join a game here, or is the site made more for groups that have already formed IRL?

Either way this site will be getting plenty of use from me. Thanks for giving RPGers this option!
