Bio
Howdy. I'm Dee. Been tabletop RP'ing since '90 (D&D 2, 3, 3.5, Rifts, Palladium, D20, Pathfinder, Shadowrun) and writing collaborative fiction for nearly ten years (JvS, represent!) In my day-to-day existence, I'm a theatre technician, a parent, I tend to work too much -- and writing is my escape. I take it pretty seriously.
I'm a pretty big fan of Sci-Fi (but I'm pretty selective about what I read,) Post Apocalyptica, certain Fantasy works (though I prefer my sword-and-sorcery via tabletop...) and Zombies. Used to watch a lot of movies, and read a lot, but having a three-year-old stymies that quite a bit. (2022 edit: the three year old is now nine!)
Some character inspirations: Harry Callahan, Max Rockatansky, William Munny, Snake Plissken, Tyler Durden, Cpl. Hudson (RIP,) Severen (RIP,) Peter Venkman, Malcolm Reynolds, Han Solo (to be continued...)
I tend to look for small groups of dedicated, talented writers who post regularly and love the unknown of spontaneous or semi-planned RP. Hit me up with ideas!
I'd prefer to have a concept of sorts, before deciding on a time or setting or tech level. Don't want anything as arbitrary as a fictitious timeframe to ruin any semblance of creativity!
Anybody else feel the need to mosey? Shoe a horse? Discover a corrupt or cowardly sheriff? wear a white (or black) hat? Start a saloon brawl? End a standoff? Do a spot of Bounty Hunting? Mete out some frontier, hard justice? Act the Lone Wolf? Rob a train?
I'd be down for a Deadwood-style RP, something centered around a small town where the PCs need to interact to achieve their personal goals. Mark me as interested.
I think that would be do-able. Certainly always loved the small-town folk, working against a bigger threat, kinda-angle.
So then, it was all over. (Never over. Never OVER. Over where?) He didn't really know what to do with himself after the last of the shoppers had been dispatched. (Dispatch! Dispatch -- this is bus 412, where are you, dispatch?) Realizing he was still carrying the bat, he made himself busy, by returning it to the aisle from whence it came, but then agonized over putting used merchandise back on the open sales floor. That was for Customer Service to attend to.
Uncertain, he held onto the bat, using it like a walking cane. thrumm. clank. thrumm. clank. thrumm. clank. He found himself back up at the checkout lanes, where Grant-Package and Grant-Package-Friend were hugging and cleaning up. He stood awkwardly, before remembering he needed to sweep and clear. Where had the shoppers come from? He went down the short hall to the office (Larry's desk, Larry had not clocked in today.) and flicked through the monitors (Miami Vice, 7PM Thursdays! Golden Girls, 4PM weekdays on CTV!) and then he found what he was looking for. The #3 loading dock door was wedged open, a shopper half-in, half-out (50/50 tickets for this week's draw are available at Customer Service! Gwen used to be really good at selling the 50/50 draw tickets. Gwen Lawrenson, employee of the month Feb. 2016.)
He made for the loading dock, and helped out the shopper. ('Our customers -- we appreciate YOU!' Ryan wore that button on his usual overshirt.) Confirming the loading dock was closed and safe, he made his way back out to the checkout. Didn't really know what he was supposed to say to these shoppers. It had been a long time since he had seen these kind of shoppers. He stood a long time before he spoke, and when he did, it sounded like he hadn't used his voice in a long time.
"Hi." The pause was long enough to run a freight train through. "I'm Ryan. I work in Electronics and Home Furnishings." He swayed slightly, like he was thinking of moving on, but just stood still, swaying slightly. His eyes never quite met theirs. "Sorry about your head, Grant-Package. Didn't know if you was... were a good one, or a bad one."
Hey all -- I'm in the mood for a Western. That covers a lot of ground, these days. Clint Eastwood-style, man with no name? Homesteaders? Fighting off the Big Bad? Yup. Star Wars Mandalorian-style or Firefly space western? Yup. Mad Max / Road Warrior ronin / lone wanderer? Yes indeed. I'm down with all of it. What kind of plot / ideas have you got? Let's worldbuild this. I'm here for it. 18+? Sure. I'm sure there will be all sorts of adult themes.
Influences: Snake Plissken, Mad Max, Westworld, Unforgiven, Shane, Pale Rider, Firefly / Serenity, Mando, Silverado, Yojimbo, Blade Runner... heck, you name it.
Me: Male main character, happy to NPC several (incl. BBEG) able to post several times a week if the story hooks me in. Feel free to respond here, or PM with your needs / wants!
@Testament Nymph I love this idea. Forgive me that I’m at work, and thus on my phone — so this reply is so short. But congrats. Your idea immediately sparked images and words and imagination within me. Mark of a well-thought-out prompt.
