Need 1 player, 4e, Wednesdays: GMT-6 from 7:30 PM to 11:00 PM

[Newawd]

Hey everyone. My group is losing a great player to his job (he became the VP of a bank, and it is sucking all his time away), so we're looking for someone to fill his shoes.

We play 4e on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 11:00 (sometimes a little later to wrap something up) on GMT-6. Our group is full of great guys who are all (most of the time) mature adults. We are all sharp guys (with the exception of myself), and we have a great thing going. We've been going for ~ 2 years now, and we have a great group dynamic. Here is what we're looking to find:

1. Someone who is enthusiastic.
2. Someone who is dedicated (obviously a game won't be your *highest* priority, but it should be high)
3. Someone who is willing to have a degree of online presence during the week.
4. Someone who is a "driver". The guy who is leaving is very much a driver, and it would be good for the group dynamic to have a driver replace him.

The kind of game you would be playing is probably about 40% RP/60% Combat.

If you think you fit the bill, please PM me asap so you can get rolling with us!

I tried to PM you, but it said your mailbox was full. I will just post as a reply here:

"I was just skimming through the forums trying to find a game to get started in FG. I know your thread is a couple weeks old, but it sounded like a pretty good fit so I thought I would send you a PM just in case you are still looking and/or have room for another.

I am 39 years old, and live in Portland, OR (PST). I started playing pencil and paper D&D when I was 12, and played heavily (mostly as DM) for about 18 years. Throughout that time and since I also played computer games. For the last decade or so I have been playing mostly online games (MMORPG, RTS, and FPS), WoW almost exclusively for the last 5 years.

In the 6 months I am losing interest in WoW. As I search for a new game, I think I am deciding to get back to my roots. FG seems to be a nice mix of the old school pencil and paper style, with the advantages of being online. This interests me a lot.

In the long run I will probably end up doing more DM than play, but I will want both. I expect that I have 6-9 months of learning software and rulesets, and designing my world before I will start doing anything on the DM side. So for now I am looking to get in to a good game as a player to learn the ropes, and have some fun along the way.

I am not locked in to any ruleset, and have only skimmed what I can see in FG so far. In fact I never really played past 2nd edition (even long after 3rd edition was out).

So I may be a little nubish in terms of rules and interface, but I have a very solid background, and learn extremely quickly. I am definatley the kind of player who will spend the time and energy necessary (outside game time) to get myself up to speed quickly.

Anyway, let me know if you have a slot that you think might be a good fit for me. I am totally flexible on rulesets, roles, etc.. Mostly I just want to get in a game, and mix it up. I prefer to learn by doing."

I would love to fill the spot as well. The only thing is that I travel North America on varying days during the week, so weekends would fit my schedule best. 39 y/o, playing since 1979, new to FG, am happy to fill any role as I like to try new classes and don't caught up with only one or two, enjoy games that work as a team and not with a couple of players that like to be the 'loner'.

Forgot to add my email as it is quicker than waiting for me to reply on this thread.

That is cool. If you can believe it, on of my soldiers went to air assault school. He is a doctor now. I was a SGT when I got out (a degreed enlisted MOS). Yeah, Sgt Schlosser. Say that fast 5 times!
