FG License: Ultimate Unity
Time Zone: Central Time (USA)
Days: Open Monday to Thursday nights, available from about 1600 (4 pm - 2100z) onward, though I prefer a late start after 2100 (9 pm - 0200z)
Term: Prefer long term, but I'm open for anything. Prefer a fresh game or one very early in it's life. Can join an established game, but not preferred.
Voice: Discord preferred. Think I have Teamspeak, too, but I haven't used it in a long time.

Game System Preferred: D&D 5e (either 2024 or old one, though I have no experience with 2024), Pathfinder (1e or 2e), Starfinder, Cypher, WOIN (no experience, but I've read the rules and am quite interested in trying it), open to other systems as long as I have access to the rules (Traveler, Stars Without Number, and a few other lesser systems)
Game System Experience: I've been gaming online since about 2015. I've played PF1e for several years, dabbled in PF2e, a couple years of 5e (old), and about 4 years of Cypher. I've read the rules for WOIN (NEW, at least), though I have never played it. I have all three WOIN core books though. I've also got a year or so experience with SWN, too. [EDIT] Forgot to mention I also have probably a year or so experience with Starfinder 1e.
Fantasy Grounds Experience: Most of my gaming has been online with FG. I don't claim to be an expert with the program, and I still learn new things with it from time to time, but I can generally find my way around it.
Character Type Preferred: Open, though I usually don't play spellcasters much. I'm open to any class type, though.

About me: I'm a 44 year old truck driver that works overnight weekends. 12hr shifts Fri-Sun from 6pm-6am. That precludes me from the majority of games. It's the reason I had to drop out of my last game some months ago when I took this position. The GM and other players tried to accommodate my new schedule, but it didn't work out too well. I've been gaming for several years as detailed above, but I've been out of it for a few months or so now, and my memory isn't very good, so I'm a bit rusty on rules and it'll take me a bit to get back up to speed, but I'll get there.

I usually play martial type characters, but I'm open to just about any type. I prefer a fairly story-heavy game with a good deal of RP opportunity, but like combat as well. I really like to play engineering type characters with opportunities to "think" their way though obstacles by building a bridge or creative use of ropes or other tools. Not so much a fan of puzzles as I'm not that good at them, but I like to have the agency to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to situations.

I enjoy both fantasy and sci-fi, and can't really say which I would prefer. Sometimes my mood prefers sci-fi and sometimes I lean toward fantasy (though sci-fi probably more often). I'm good for either, though.

A few requirements for me to play, though. While I really like RP stuff, I don't want to get into heavy romance or anything similar with other PCs or the GM. A quick romp with an NPC once in a while is fine and can add some real humor to the game, but it should be just a reason to explain a character's absence from a fight or a way around an encounter, and not 'acted out'. I don't want a game that focuses heavily on that type of stuff. I'm perfectly fine with adult themes and content, I just don't want a game that revolves around sex/romance.

Also, please keep politics out of it. I'm here to enjoy myself and escape the crap we all face in the real world. I don't care what your political beliefs are, and don't ask me about mine, and I ask to keep political or current events discussion to an absolute minimum to avoid potentially stirring unwanted animosity among the group.

I would modify your Time Zone line to add (UTC+6). Help's people know exactly what time zone you are speaking of though you did mention central time zone, those EU and Asia players are unsure what UTC dime difference that is so easier to use UTC time.

Best of luck. If you find a PF1 game where they have 2 spots, please ask them to ping me a message.

I run a West-Marches style SWADE campaign using the Weird War II setting. Players are part of a special combat platoon that combats Nazi occultist activity during WWII. We play about once per month. I post several dates over a given week and players sign up for all the dates they are available. I then choose 1-3 days to run a 4-hour scenario. Most of the sessions start at 10pm Central. Never any obligation to play.

Never played SWADE. Are the rules open or do I need to invest in the books? Spent too much money in the last couple of weeks to justify investing in new game books at this time.

I have a play by post Traveller game, very open to new players and new to Traveller.

We use FG for the skill checks, etc. I leave that up 24/7 for people to log in as needed. All the materials are there no need to purchase anything.

It is very sandbox orientated, I call it Cooperative Storytelling. Several active cohorts doing different things currently.

If you are interested the link to our site in in my signature. Feel free to reach out here or on Discord, same name and avatar everywhere.

No, you don't need to invest in books. Add me on Discord: knuckleballned
