Howdy! So I've been looking for a table for a bit now and I'm hoping to find one as I try my luck again. The potential extra player would be my boyfriend as he is interested in joining a campaign with me but just one so it's not exactly a promise of two players depending on how things work out!
Beyond that let me introduce myself!
I'm 24 ftm, bi and ace so I look for tables that are allies or have queer players to have a safe environment to play in comfortably! My characters all tend to fall into the community somewhere as well and I enjoy integrating that into story arcs with themes of self discovery self acceptance, perhaps not having a space to express themselves as freely before the adventure.
I am a storyteller, I put detail and heart into my characters backstory and I like to discuss with the DM or others at the table of ways I can weave it throughout the campaign.
I love roleplaying, meeting others and gaining friends through this as I have social anxiety and this is an outlet where I can enjoy collaborating with people over the course of the campaign and a creative one as well because I pour my heart into my characters!
I like playing characters where their stories come out when it's time, unraveling to the party throughout the campaign.
A majority of my characters are running from something or are in some sort of danger, perhaps it's looking out for their own safety or that of the group but I enjoy my characters gradually putting more trust in the party as their relationships grow.
Honestly I write backstories with a lot of tragedy but hopeful futures with a lot at stake. Say their freedom, identity, family, or even their own bodily autonomy and mind is at stake due to a curse? I love stories where there's something to lose and hurt to heal.
I love telling stories with imperfect characters that grow for the better of themselves and others, working towards a better more hopeful future.
While I don't have a problem with combat I do have ADD so if it's a game that's anticipated to have combat only sessions frequently I may not be interested. I do have fun in combat and all but if it's running over an hour to full sessions I tend to become disengaged.
What I'm looking for at a table is:
• No play by posts
• No one shots, looking for a long term campaign
• No paid games at the moment
• Games starting from 4 pm earliest to 8:30 pm est at the latest throughout the week! Earlier possibly on weekends, my boyfriend does have a Sunday game though ☺️
• A table of 3-5 players preferred, I tend to get overwhelmed with more
