Hi! Welcome to the fun side of Ironworks. I have questions for you, and would like to know more about your gaming abilities. First, let me fill you in on the types of games here. You tell me which you like more.

1. Strict RP, Game Master calls all shots and sets up world. Players respond to events, and are led by the DM through the world.

2. Writing intensive. Players are given a general idea of world and are kept within boundries by DM...but are free to interact and move about in an open-ended world with endless possibilities only limited by one's imagination. Monster enconters are directed by DM, but otherwise conversation between players is the meat of this game, and the decisions they choose as a team. Sort of like writing a novel, but with help.

3. Insta-scrap. A room or otherwise small area is designated to be a battle-ground between two or more players. Can be managed by DM or not. Fighting intensive, winner takes all and loser gets the hell out.

I am in two games now, one of which I am the DM and player, that are both #2 style. It's what I like. If you would like to be in it, I might be able to arrange something...

Now...do you like playing the good guy or the bad guy? I may have an opening for both, if you are interested...and dedicated. If not, no problem. A game will pop up soon enough that you can get into from the beginning. Let me know.

Also...what style of gaming do you like? Strictly D&D? What version? Can you play in a world that is not associated with D&D rules?
