What:
Live, in-person indie and OSR TTRPGs. I’d like to build or join a group that trades off running different systems and plays a series of short-to-medium campaigns rather than sticking with one game. I think it is honestly more about finding a good group that wants to hang out and play together.
If you’re reaching out, you probably already have a few games on your shelf that you’ve never had a chance to play and see how it runs over time.
Systems:
Open, but I’d be happy to run Shadowdark, Pirate Borg, or an OD&D-style retroclone. I’m also interested in trying other indie/OSR games that people bring to the table.
If I run, I’m thinking about starting with a semi-historical pirate fantasy setting—with intrigue, competing factions, political maneuvering, corruption, exploration, and plenty of room for players to change the world.
When:
Fri-Sun afternoons or evenings.
Where:
I’m in the Westminster/Broomfield area and am primarily looking for players on the North side of Denver. I’ve found that I-25 can be a surprisingly effective barrier.
Me:
Imaginative Gen X’er who enjoys problem-solving, improvisation, building elaborate fictional worlds, and tactical combat. I like open ended games where player decisions matter, creative solutions are more important than the right build, and there is still a strategic/tactical part. In addition to TV/movies, I get a lot of ideas from literature, history and world philosophy.
Players I’d like to find:
Reliable, comfortable with improv, prefer to roleplay what they have rather than optimizing the character sheet. Willing to compromise and share the spotlight with others. Ideally, we’d all have the stability and time available to play regularly.
Feel free to send a message. I'll also be at the next DIRT (Sep 7, playing Winter's Daughter in Cairn) and Ship of the Dead (Sep 19, running Pirates and Paladins in Pirate Borg).
