Showing Willing to GM in United States or online

Hi folks. My name is Frank from germany and I am born in 1978. I started playing TTRPGs in the late 80s/early 90s (don't remember exactly) and had a hiatus between 2008 and 2016. In the early and mid 2000s I participated in the organization for a local convention of the german TTRPG Midgard. Most of my life I was the GM and to be honest I really liked it (probably more than beeing a player). At the moment I play in 2 local monthly goups (no GMing). I am not sure if I have to quit one of the groups I am currently playing in because I really dislike the system we are playing (Warhammer Fantasy 4E) and the group is not willing to change that in the near future. Besides of that I am more than curious to try out online gaming although I never did before. So please be patient with me. Old man incoming ;-) Today I enjoy OSR-games the most (Fantasy, SciFi and all other genres). The simplicity of it is just something I really embrace. I dislike extensive backstories for my PCs. I am convinced that it is more natural to build their personality as I play. I don't need characters that have already achieved everything in their backstories. Besides of that I am a gamer not a novelist ;-) I like my characters to go down in a big blow. They should not die of old age. The most memorable PCs I had are all dead :-) The worst thing that could happen to me as a player is if I recognize that the GM cheats just to safe me from certain death. DON'T DO THAT ;-) As a GM I roll openly and take the results as they roll. I don't balance encounters but I consider myself "fair" in regards of worldbuilding and player choices. I like when players don't optimize and just play without searching the solution on their character sheet. I will kill your character if they make bad choices or if fate demands it. I am not into voice acting or such things and I hate it to waste precious game time on playing out every-day-life of characters. The tavern evening with just talking, the 2 hour shopping tour with the local merchants, the chillout session in the public bath I've seen it all and I hated every single minute of it. Bring on the action, the adventure, thats the reason I play. As you may have noticed english is not my mothertounge. Especially my spoken english is probably not the best. But I think I could manage to be in an english speaking group. At least I would try it. I would love to find a group where I could try out online gaming as a player. I think I would not start online gaming as a GM right away but would love to evolve into that. I really don't care how to play online: VTT, Discord, Teams whatever. I really don't care at this point in time.

I’m an experienced GM, have run multiyear campaigns, and I regularly run games at local conventions. Preferred Systems: Mostly not D&D or similar traditional fantasy games. Recent games include Agon, Unknown Armies, Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, Mothership, Pendragon, Mythic Bastionland, Alien, Blade Runner, Symbaroum, Starforged, Over the Edge, Swords of the Serpentine, and Paranoia. But I generally enjoy learning new systems Preferred Playstyle: Narrative and investigation are my first choice. I like roleplaying heavy games where choices carry weight and the setting matters: occult conspiracy, espionage, horror, gritty sci-fi, mythic adventure. Combat is fine when it’s brief, tense, and consequential rather than a grind. Character death in earned circumstances is fine. I'm open to romance in games if the table is bought in. I don't need a lot of rules but I care about the rules we agree on being consistent and well understood. I enjoy and run both traditional RPGs and GMless story games. Preferred Tone: Serious stakes with room for humor. Warm, character-driven humor or dark humor works for me; contempt-driven or goofy comedy doesn’t. I prefer a grounded game but pulp is fine as long as we're all on the same page. I’m happy to run a one-shot when the regular GM needs a break.

I've been playing for a while, but am really into story games (PbtA, CfB, FitD) these days, but open to just about any TTRPG (mostly Indie, though). I play on the Open Hearth gaming community, and am open to other online games, but am hoping to meet others face to face as well. I'm based in Surrey, but can get up to London reasonably easily. I like embracing Improv, play-to-find-out principles, and prefer games that also do so.

Long time gamer, played a variety of systems. Interested in the new and indie or the seasoned and traditional.

Hi, I'm James from the UK. I've been playing and GMing tabletop RPGs for a long time, and I enjoy trying different systems rather than sticking with one game. As you can probably tell from my system list, my tastes are pretty broad! I've played or run everything from Savage Worlds and Dragonbane to Alien, The One Ring, Star Wars, PbtA games, Blades in the Dark and plenty of others. I'm especially interested in Outgunned right now. I enjoy games where the players actually roleplay with each other rather than everything going through the GM. I like character interaction, collaborative storytelling and giving everyone their chance in the spotlight. Combat is great too, especially when it's exciting and has some narrative weight behind it. As a GM, I'm not interested in trying to beat the players. I want to give them situations to interact with, see what they come up with and make their characters look cool while still giving them meaningful challenges. As a player, I bring the same attitude: work with the group, support other people's moments, and help move things forward. I'm UK-based and mainly play online using Foundry VTT and Discord. My availability varies depending on the game, but I'm generally looking for UK/European evening times. I'm also happy playing with people who are completely new to a system. I don't expect everyone to know every rule before we start, especially considering half the fun for me is discovering games I haven't played before.

hi! i'm mabel (she/her, 29) forever gm based in denver looking to play some games! willing to join groups solo or with my girlfriend. i've been playing roleplaying games in some form or fashion for over 15 years, but I haven't had enough consistent availability over the years to really form any sort of solid playgroup. i'm hoping to find likeminded folks (leftists of any sort, lgbt+, overall nice people) to explore various games with. some systems that i'm particularly interested in playing are Shadowdark, Cairn & similar rulesets, Coriolis (either edition), Mothership, Delta Green, Vagabond, Vaesen, and Public Access. I have D&D 5e listed on my profile for the sake of showing my experience with it; I'm not interested in playing 5e under most circumstances. other interests include hiking/camping, reading (mostly fantasy and communist theory), music (i'm a touring artist), and anime/manga.

Hi, I'm 21 years old and have been playing TTRPGs (mostly D&D 5e though I'd ideally like to switch to Draw Steel) on and off for nearly 10 years now. I've mostly been a GM during that time (it's the role I prefer, not a permaDM), and I have my own fantasy setting not so subtly inspired by Middle-Earth and Norse Mythology (which broadly reflects my left-wing political beliefs - conservatives might not want to consider me). I've never found a group just online like this before, and because I've only ever found D&D that fun when playing with close friends I must admit I'm a bit nervous and not sure what to expect. But with my last group life events got in the way and people's priorities changed so I'm looking to try something new. I'm at university so generally my schedule is pretty flexible.
