About the adventure
Having read over 40+ novels and sourcebooks I know the 3024-3060 timeline, conflicts, dramatis personae and organizations by heart, but I'm not going to lie: I haven't mastered a single session this side of MW2e. It's not a matter of "old good, new bad" but of being a full time dad. However, if you're willing to cut me some slack system-wise while I get myself reacquainted to the new rules, I'll take you on whatever type of campaign (Military, shadow ops, intrigue) in the 3024-3060 timeframe working for anyone: Periphery minor power, Successor state, Shadow organization, Clan, ComStar's ROM under Anastasius Focht, or your mercenary outfit. Feel free to DM me for details. PS: The listing image is a closeup of the unboxed part of my personal library.

About me
Role Playing Games were my sanity's refuge when my undiagnosed neurodiversity turned my academic endeavors into a living hell. The stories we weaved, and the love of the friends we wove them with, kept everyone going, and with each other, we were no longer alone. As time would have it, and in spite of our academic or social struggles, we ended up being an exceptional group professionals in our chosen fields, and as we sought to make our childrens' journey easier, most of my friends discovered their own neurodiversity. I want the opportunity to help your characters live epic stories and perhaps, if we are lucky, to turn strangers into lifelong friends. I belong to the Jim Butcher and WX (Sanderson-Kowal-Tayler-Wells) schools of storytelling, Gygax's philosophy of multi-party sandbox campaigning, and have several "podiums" in national (Venezuela) and regional (Caracas) tournaments under my belt (Stopped counting after five). Me? I'm a mixed Norseman-Latino, neurodivergent, liberal, geek, TTRPG and biology nerd. My mum got the "love all, respect all" of her beloved sixties in my heart at an early age, so expect zero judgment, and the (sometimes overbearing) care and kindness I try to offer to the people in my life. As well as some of my anarchist dad's, stonefaced humor (he was a riot, but his humor was black-hole-grade). I'm as old as, and hold the motto of, the Hard Rock Café 🎸: 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞"Love All-Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet, and Take Time To Be Kind." 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞ Ready to play campaigns: DnD 5e: Phandelver and below + Essentials (bundled up or separate) Curse of Strahd Helianna's Monster Hunts (can do from Witcher to MHI style) Isekai on the Yokai Realms Benders, Unite!

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We'll sit discuss character concept together and then do the write down. Most probably we're going to stick to mechwarrior 2E, with the following caveats: Character creation: MechWarrior 2e priority table creation, but with the option to take paired advantages and disadvantages that cancel each other's value from a time of war and or legends. Since you will not be green, you will get to choose better equipment and better skills (for a traditional politics/court/war campaign) or more MOSs (military occupational specialty) and/or AITs (advanced individual training) for a shadow organization or SOF (Special Operations Force) campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: Internet connection 💻 Functional microphone and speakers (or headphones). 💻 A Chromium compatible web browser such as Opera, Opera GX, Chrome, or Edge (or its equivalent on mac). 🎮 Discord user account. ❌ Don't bring TRASH (Transphobia, Racism, Ableism, Sexism, Homophobia) to the table.
What Olaf brings to the table
💯 Chill game: You don't need to act, do voices, math, or have experience to play. Except for being rude and uncaring to your fellow players, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to play, just different styles for different people. 🧙♂️ Life long experience in teaching playing and mastering TTRPGs
Homebrew rules
I think the only "Homebrewy" thing I'll do is to marry different attributes to initiatives on different kinds of combat, to reduce the importance of the reflex attribute, perhaps even leaving reflex only for Mech/aerospace fighter combat initiative.
