Howdy fellow gamers!

[jmlima]

I'm a long, long time RPG'er (since the early 90s...) who has been playing exclusively online for the last 20 years or so. I'm an orphan of some long-run games (for ex USI for those who knew it). Having grown increasingly frustrated with the sites I've been playing on, I'm hoping to find and run some good games around here.

Systems and themes wise, I'm a fan of the BRP / RQ / CoC family of systems, but for online gaming tend to prefer lightweight (The Window) or entirely freeform games. Big fan of Lovecraftian horror, gritty fantasy (Black Company) or historical'ish fantasy like Gavriel Kay books. I'm also a big fan of stories like the Night Soldiers cycle of stories by Alan Furst.

Here's hoping for some good RPG'ing!

@jmlima

Welcome. We share the same interest with Lovecraft, gritty fantasy, and historical fantasy. Never heard of the Night Soldiers.

Welcome to the guild! Fellow gamer myself and have been since i was a kid with ps1 and gameboy colors!

... Never heard of the Night Soldiers.

@Nightscape

It's by Alan Furst and covers the inter-war period in Europe. Loads of cloak and dagger espionage.

@jmlima Sounds like my cup of tea. Gavriel Kay's name looked so familiar and then I realized it's because I read River of Stars awhile back but got busy and never finished it.

Greetings Stranger,

* * * * * * * *

I’m not surprised to see your kind here. Many adventurers have traveled this way since the recent troubles had passed. No doubt you’ve heard about the tragedy that befell the community here at the Guild. Some say that the Guildfall, bane of role players, is slowly enveloping the community once again. I don’t know if I believe that, but I have noticed from time to time that posts or players will mysteriously disappear. They disappear without word and without notice, hidden by the leaders of our community. Maybe it’s nothing. But rumors and sideways glances seems to trail in their wake. You see, shortly before Guildfall had occurred similar disappearances were common as well and strange rumor began to ravage even the most common parts of the guild. But until more evidence is uncovered I’ll remain here within this community and so should you. You’ll find interesting role play ideas across all the various topics categories here on the Guild and a few of mine or ones that I participate in as well. However, I would make sure you save your own information before the shadow that fell over the Guild before the fall once again consumes us all. But if you’re still alive before then, I’ll be more than happy to accomodate any role playing needs you may have if I can.

You should talk to some of the others, too. Guildmod has sent you a PM package to add with your new arrival and there are any number of veterans who are more than qualified to answer your questions. Maybe they can tell you more.
