A few weeks ago, I joined a college RPG using an old character from a game I ran 5 years ago. After spending several weeks of giving it a chance, I decided to withdraw mostly because I am not happy with the mods and the way they choose to run the game.
I've looked around the last few days at a variety of mass group sim type games ranging from role playing in a town to other school type games and have ultimately decided I don't want to be in a large scale game where people just sort of make up their own stories and interactions on the board and interact in a large scale environment. I really do not have time to moderate/GM a game myself as I am already involved in several things.
I'm pretty open to a variety of ideas, but I also have a strong idea of what I don't want either.
What I am not interested in: Nothing pornographic or sexual in nature. Don't contact me if you are looking for someone to role play sexual fantasies with. I want a real game with a real story and nothing beyond rated R.
Also, nothing sci-fi or fantasy. I have plenty of games like that already. No magic, super heroes, special powers, etc. I am looking for something modern set in the real world.
Format: I am open to one on one or a small group. I do not want a large-scale type game. Email is okay but something like yahoo groups or a board would be preferred. I do not want to do anything "real time" in a chatroom or through IM. It must be through email or some kind of group/message board. Please note: I do not meet anyone in person in real life. No exceptions so live in person games are out of the question.
About the character: This character was last used in a high school based game where she was in a band. It was a sim type game and we only got through 2 adventures before it fell apart. She was the victim of a hazing in high school cheerleading in the first (which also had a plot dealing a gang that ended up tying into it). The second adventure her father had a drug and alcohol problem and was abusive behind closed doors. He basically had a mistress in another town out of state and was expecting a baby with her. He took her and the family hostage and was planning to murder them and disappear with the mistress but was arrested and the family was saved before it could happen. That was where the game left off. This happened the middle of her sophomore year and is where the game ended.
Possible Scenerios: I'd either like to pick up with her family moving away to escape the embarrassment of what has happened or maybe move forward a few years where she is in college (just tried that and it didn't go so well the first time). I am not interested in re-creating the original game or having more happen with those events. I want a game that is a sequel that moves beyond the above events.
Several ideas would be another band type game playing out the characters lives in high school or doing the same thing in college. Also, would be open to some kind of mystery plot (perhaps it's a small town with a dark secret or something, maybe there is next door neighbor up to no good or whatever). A third idea might be some kind of modern day adventure. Maybe she's gone overseas as part of an exchange program to get away from things and ends up in a slummy third world country (lots of possibilities there) or perhaps a group of teens are going to sail around the world and encounter real-life modern pirates (inspired by some of the events in the last year regarding these issues). I'm open as long as it is fun, interesting, creative and reasonably believable.
Again, I do not have time to run another game. I'm looking for something to play in using this character. If you have something going that might fit this or up for starting something please contact me. I just ask that you be a good writer and dependable. If you are interested and have some ideas, contact me at: necromancerchick@yahoo.com.
I may not see your reply if you post a response to this ad on the group so please email me. I'm looking for something that really interests me and someone I feel would be a good fit for what I'm looking for. I don't promise I'll go with the first person that contacts me. Right now, I'm just open to talking and see what other people have to offer.
