About me

I technically played Traveller on marching band buses in high school way back in the dark ages. Still, for most intents and purposes, a former partner introduced me to TTRPGs in 1998 by inviting me to join a Werewolf game. I wasn’t thrilled about that system, but after that we played a Mage campaign that I could get my teeth into. We moved on to D&D 3 when that was released, and that grew into a homebrew, mostly diceless game that we played for over a decade. Since we split up, I’ve played many different game systems, including Amber, Shadowrun, Good Society, Dresden Files, Firefly/Serenity, Primetime Adventures, and Thirsty Sword Lesbians. Start Playing has let me try Brindlewood Bay, Lady Blackbird, Eat the Reich, Blades in the Dark, and Legend in the Mist. Daggerheart and Fate are my favorites so far, but I hope to play Blue Rose and City of Mist in the future. I prefer games with lots of roleplaying and social interaction. Plots involving intrigue are a favorite. I tend to create elaborate backstories for my characters because I need to truly know them to feel comfortable playing them. I love developing connections between PCs, and I am most comfortable in sandbox worlds. I have no interest in being part of a murder hobo group, and I won’t engage in player vs. player crap. I still get mixed up with some game mechanics, but I do try! Please be patient with me!
