Hello...?

Hey everyone, I'm Corvuska (or Corvus). I love writing and playing TTRPGS. Today's scheduling conflicts are rough and I was hoping to learn more about Play by Post to get some more consistent game time in. I'm willing to learn new systems when trying out games.

Just looking to have fun, tell a story, and maybe after I get the hang of it, run a game or two myself. I look forward to learning and playing with the community.

Niceties out of the way, more about me:

I have the most experience in DnD 5e, but started with 3.5e about 15 years ago. I've been a DM more often than not. I've played Star Wars Saga Edition, Star Wars EotE, a slew of campaign and rpg type board games and video games, and most recently I ran a group through the Daggerheart playtest.

I have been homebrewing a lot of 5e for a new campaign and learning more about different TTRPG systems such as the narrative 2d12 of Daggerheart, the 2d20 roll below of Modiphius (Dune, Star Strek, Achtung Cthulhu), and the high-octane roll a d6 and only a 6 succeeds of the Year Zero Engine (Alien RPG, Eldritch Automata).

It's hard to get the physical groups I try to be a part of to try systems other DnD's 1d20 roll high. It's time I roll initiative and seek those games elsewhere.

Despite seeming like a rules junkie, I value storytelling and the role-play above all else. The rules are in service to that goal and I enjoy learning to work within use each game's set of rules to their fullest.

All that being said, I have no idea how to end a post. Later!

Welcome to RPOL, you can find all kinds of games here to play in and can run your own once you get the hang of it. This is by far the best board I have had the pleasure of writing on and dming on. I too am a forever dm. You can use the search button to find stuff that interests you. You'll know games accepting players by the star.

I hope you enjoy your time here! Good gaming.

Hello...?

As a fellow forever GM, welcome!

One of the neat things here is that we can often also find games in which to play, not just to run.

Take a look around and get a feel for the place.  Take a look at the requests boards and see who is offering what.  Jump in ask for someone to run something with which you're not yet familiar, or run it yourself to get some school-of-hard-knocks learning!

Hello...?


     Welcome to the best site out there. As many here have been saying you can find just about anything as a GM you could possibly want and even find some games you can play in. The Pacing of some games is something to get used to, but it doesn't take much time to do that. I wish you joy and happy gaming whether you run a game or two or play in some.
