Being a GM in tabletop can apparently mean driving your players insane - I was surprised how "well" everyone repsonded to being surrounded by crazies and care takers. Hope they get out in the end...

My love-hate always kicks in when learning words without an equivalent in other languages, and complex meaning. It is amazing the word exists, but hard to grasp its usage.

The strangest thing about learning new languages is still that they have words your language can only desribe and vice versa: Torschlusspanik, dépaysement, l'appel du vide, madrugar.

Bio

I have some experience (well rather some years of experience) in roleplaying, but I am rather new here.

This will most likely not turn out to be the most helpful Bio, especially as I am currently blissfully unaware and somewhat apathetic to everything concerning cosmetical possibilities. It is partly due to the fact that there is no fascinating, wonderfully rounded and polished characters - I just fought I would share some insights about the things I like.

For the roleplaying part I came here looking for something rather relaxed in a classical fantasy environment. More or less along the lines of a typical tabletop adventure or classical side quest (or row of side quests) in gaming. I am also fairly interested in longer, more elaborate plots but currently not in the position to think one up and keep it running.

Apart from that there is a broad variety of settings I am interested in. It ranges from historically themed ideas over to our current time and world up to futuristic scenarios, including post-apocalypting settings in this range. Any of those might be high or low fantasy. In short it is not one specific slice of things that is fascinating me, it is the possibility to dive into another world. That is the reason why there is also a small set of fandoms I like.

I prefer creating my own characters for a roleplay. This means that I can easily create characters requiring a set of skills, sometimes even character traits, but I often have a hard time to fill a pre-shaped role already described with character traits and (parts of a) backstory. For me this creation process is an important step when immersing into a new world.

Before finally concluding I should mention that the better part of my characters has at least dark spots in their history or behaviour. Many of the topics touched are mature, so if you feel unconfortable (or just aren't mature) please inform me beforehand. I usually also try to outline the problematic traits beforehand.

To round things up: If you found something interesting here, or have an idea that you want to share, just send me a message. It would surely make me happy!

So, starting off with the hello: Hello everybody. I'm glad I found you and hope for a hearty welcome - or something among those lines.

Starting off with the small introduction which will inevitably not remain small - but hopefully enjoyable.

I myself have been role-playing for quite some time now, a few years with a few stops here and there and lately thanks to a wonderful table top group the urge to create and write again has started growing so ... I wound up here! Just to sprinkle some facts about myself: I have a small tea collection problem, but also highly appreciate good coffee. I like cats and bakery and those things, which for me always creates the image of a nice girl in 50s apron at home. So to destroy that: I also have quite a hang with computers and I am a hopefully skilled Archer.

I would be overly happy if somebody could point me to the best way to get into roleplays here, as it is always somewhat difficult at the first step.

To the roleplaying: As long as the scenario fits me and I have time and chances to grab what it is about I love diving into different worlds. At the moment I am perhaps most skilled in fantasy scenarios and anything more or less realistically set in our time. Apart from that I have had experiences in a ton of settings, from books and movies as Harry Potter and X-Men to more historically accurate things during the Renaissance or 19th century.
I like writing a few sentences to paragraphs such that a story can glide on, although I admit that I'm not the greatest person to develop plots, at least not at the moment as I am already mastering the tabletop round.

That's it from my side - I guess. Any questions are welcome, as well as any answers! Thanks on advance
