About me
I first played D&D back around 1984 or '85. It wasn't long, a couple of years, before I started running games myself and I have never looked back. I now have 40 years of experience with role-playing games, on both sides of the screen. In that time I have delved into numerous games and systems, from Basic D&D (Red Box set) and AD&D, to Star Wars (d6 and d20 versions), Palladium and RIFTs, Legend of the Five Rings, Pathfinder, and too many more to recall. My style and preferences tend toward gritty, low-fantasy settings, where magic is uncommon, at best, and character death is a real possibility. My preferred system at this time (and for nearly 20 years now) is Pathfinder 1e. I find that D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e are too "pulpy" for my tastes, and encourage an over-the-top style that has never appealed to me. (Sorry!) So if something dark, gothic, and potentially macabre appeals to you, why not hop in and see how things go?
