I thought since I had rudely introduced my self with a question I would give myself a proper introduction.
I began roleplaying in 1984 and quickly realized that I would much rather GM than be a player so I started to GM for my friends.
Since we liked Superheroes and I wanted a generic system we began to use Hero System. I was a HUGE Hero System fan. Then came Deadlands. I still remember picking up
Deadlands (the original) and getting the Players Guide because that was all the local brick store could get. We got involved in a long running Deadlands campaign (I actually played) and when I heard Savage Worlds was coming out I grabbed. I fell in love instantly.
However, around 2005 I changed my philosophy on life. This required me to limit my gaming. Soon after this philosophy change I got married (the philosophy change had nothing to do with the marriage) and this also limited my playing time till I pretty much stopped in 2006. Though I stopped, I never lost my love for creating adventures and running a good campaign.
Now, here it is 2017. My philosophy hasn't changed, but I think I can game a little within that philosophy. Since there is no local group anymore I have turned to VTT. I am currently working on a Savage Battlestar Galactica one shot, a Weird Romes oneshot, and hopefully a Savage Colonial America one shot. I would like to have them ready by the next FG XI, but they probably won't be since I am having to learn FG.
I have downloaded most of the SW extensions, a couple of DOE extensions. I have viewed video after video.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
