User Name - Cargo Culture Contact Info - Forum PM is fine. City/State/Country - Providence, RI Do you have a group now (if so, how many do you have/do you need)? Yes (4 players plus me). Looking for 1 or 2 more. What are you willing to play (or if you are looking for players for a campaign, what are you playing)? Looking for additional players for a new TORG campaign. Newbies welcome. Special Notes -*deep breath* We're all pretty easy-going folks, and aren't mouthbreathing neckbeards. We're all adults with jobs and mortgages and that sort of thing. Now, the obligatory provisos that make me sound like a douchebag:
* Please no 4chan refugees if at all possible, but we could probably make an exception if you're nice enough. Redditors are fine and welcome, as are goons. * No smokers, sorry. * Please no Captain Know-It-Alls. We're all pretty good at detecting bullshit and waving your figurative dick around and pretending you're hot poo poo will just mean you won't get invited back. There's no need to impress anyone. * No grognards who want to piss on [insert game here], or who think [insert game here] is the best ever and no game could possibly be better. You know who you are. I tend to like all games and there's a good chance you'd be pissing on one of the ones I enjoy. Edition warriors can die in a fire. Now, for the things that make us seem like totally awesome dudes:
* We're social people. We all have activities and stuff outside regular gaming sessions, and we're not afraid of meeting new people. * We're not like Francis. We're almost the anti-Francis*. * We don't hate games. There are some games some of us don't like, but we don't hate them. I personally like all sorts of things, so your favorite game isn't going to be the subject of ridicule. * I have beer. The aim is to have players that want to have fun, can joke around a bit, but want to actually play rather than sit around and discuss the latest episode of [insert show here]. If you're a player who likes to get engaged with the story and is proactive about stuff, that's awesome and we'd love to have you. That said, no spotlight hogs or drama llamas, please. If you're looking for a hardcore number-crunching grognard session, this likely isn't for you. I guess what I'm saying is that we're shooting for a nice, casual balance of play and banter. * Yes, I know Francis is a parody.

User name: Cargo Culture Contact info: Forum PM is fine City/State: Falmouth, MA (western Cape Cod) Do you have a group now? Yes, but looking for 2-3 more. What are you playing? 13th Age (a D&D 3.x/4e variant by Pelgrane Press) [standard boilerplate follows] I'm looking for additional players for a just-starting long term weekly 13th Age campaign in Falmouth, MA. It's currently Thursdays 7-10:30pm, but the day may move if it means getting more folks. (Check out an excellent review of 13th Age here. It's fundamentally a rules-light 3.x; it takes all the good bits of 3.x, all the good bits of 4th, and some really fun story game elements and smooshes them all together. Folks of all edition loyalties seem to like it.) We have a great core of guys right now but really would love to have more at the table. This post will be light on campaign details because a lot of the world-building will be collaborative, which means I need you, Prospective Player, in a chair at my house before we can figure all that stuff out. The goal is to have a great group of players that want to have fun, can joke around a bit, but want to actually play rather than sit around and discuss the latest episode of [insert show here]. If you're a player who likes to get engaged with the story and is proactive about stuff, that's awesome and I'd love to have you. If you're looking for a hardcore number-crunching grognard session, this likely isn't for you, especially since 13th Age is light on the rolling and heavy on the role-ing (is that even a word?). I guess what I'm saying is that I'm shooting for a nice, casual balance of play and banter. So, what kind of folks am I looking for? That's tough. Everything past this point might make me sound like a self-important jerk. I've been playing RPGs for about 25 years and finding compatible gamers via the Internet is one of the toughest things to do with the hobby. This means I have some criteria which saves everybody unnecessary anguish. Each one of these has a story I'd like not to go through again. (Also, fair warning: I will read all of your comments and Google the poo poo out of you before we ever get together. If you don't get a reply from me, nothing personal -- there's something about you that I feel won't be compatible with me, my family, or my gaming style.) Here's who I'm not looking for...
Still reading? Hooray! You don't think I'm an rear end! (Or do and are just wondering how much more of an rear end I can look like.) Now, for the things that make me seem like a totally awesome dude and your new favorite DM:

User Name - Cargo Culture (no, really) Contact Info - PM. City/State/Country - Currently meeting in East Wareham, MA Do you have a group now? - Yes. Looking for one or two more people. What are you willing to play? - Looking to get one or two more folks to play in a bi-weekly PENDRAGON campaign (Tuesdays , 6:30pm-10:30pm). We've just started the Great Pendragon Campaign (aka let's play through 80+ years of Arthurian awesomeness) so now is the perfect time for folks to jump in. It's okay if you've never played Pendragon before. All you need are a d20, a bunch of d6s, knightly spirit and a desire to kill as many loving Saxons as possible.

*sigh* Here we go again. User Name - Cargo Culture Contact Info - PM. City/State/Country - Currently meeting in Bourne/East Wareham, MA Do you have a group now? - Yes. Looking for one or two more people. What are you willing to play? - Looking to get one or two more folks to play in a bi-weekly WARHAMMER FANTASY ROLEPLAY campaign (Tuesdays, 6:30pm-10:30pm). I'm also running Delta Green in the weeks opposite (same day/time) but that's bursting at the seams as it is. If you're totally rad and want to play that too then we'll figure something out. Our current gaming group got too big for practical gaming, and then it went all Donetsk People's Republic and is completely hosed up right now; basically split into two groups playing in the same timeslot. We (the cool group) are looking for one or two more people to fill out ranks in one of the games that plays in this timeslot and to generally get together for coolness. New friends, yay. What is Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (as if you didn't already know)? Well, it's the RPG set in the same universe as Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy Battles wargame. It's dark fantasy, but it's not like D&D. It's almost the anti-D&D. D&D is where adventurers become heroes. WFRP is where nobodies become adventurers. It's bleak, but in a darkly humorous way. Things are dirty and grim and in all ways messy, and you can't help but love it. It's sort of like Lord of the Rings, but directed by Terry Gilliam and scored by Danny Elfman, and you all play barflies in the Inn of the Prancing Pony. It's like that. Here's a little primer. And here's a blurb! This is going to be a relatively open story to be set at the edge of the Empire in the counties of Averland, Stirland, and Sylvania, as well as the rough-and-tumble Border Princes (and points in between). It'll have all the classic elements of Border Princes-style Balkanized rivalry and the strange mish-mash of the setting that it is; the secretive Vampire Counts and their servants as the hidden antagonists (or allies?); a foray or two into the abandoned and forsaken city of Mordheim (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-style); drinking with Dwarfs in their mighty holds; battling the loathsome Skaven; and perhaps investigating a Nehekharan ruin or two (The Mummy-style). At the moment I have two committed players and one more solid maybe. If I can lock in one or two more people who can commit every two weeks rain or shine, that would be awesome.
