I am an old DnD player (1e, 2e, 3e mostly). I started back in the THAC0 days when OSR was standard AD&D. I was also a PbP DM in a 3.5E game for several years. I haven't played for about a decade until I recently found FoundryVTT. While the shiny new VTTs are a boon for real-time online game play, they are primarily designed for better organizing tactical games because of their slick grids and graphical aids. For old fashioned RP, nothing beats PbP in my experience. But, PbP falls apart when there is combat so it is best suited for combat light, RP heavy games.
Over the past few months, I have been looking at wonderful indie games like Symbaroum (Free League Publishing), Masks (Magpie Games), Numenera (Monty Cook Games) and Call of Cthulhu 7E (Chaosium). I may start a game in one of these systems depending on player interest. As a player, I'm open to joining any great combat light, RP heavy game.
If you have suggestions or offers, please do drop a note.
Thanks for reading. See you folks around the board.
