Torilen Introduction

Okay...so...I'm here to find a place to play some play-by-post roleplaying games. I'm interested in using the original Basic D&D rules, or 3.5 if need be. Of course, I would REALLY like to use the old HeroQuest boardgame rules - I've taken the original rules and added to and expanded them - if anyone is interested, let me know. I have a site that holds all of the changes.

I also have my own game system that I've been working on for a little over a year now. My two main hobbies are fantasy world design and game system design. I've been working on a roleplaying game system - I've also done something with Battle Ship, and I've been trying to design a Monopoly system that, instead of buying properties - you fight for them. That one has been a little tough, though.

I'm 31 years old, married, and just had a son a little over a month ago. I have a BA in English/Creative Writing, and a VA Teaching License (though half of the course work for this was done at the grad level). I am an amatuer radio operator. I work for a tugboat company as a dispatcher - and I LOVE my job.

So, that's me in a nutshell.

Introduction Torilen

Greetings RPGer

We have FOUR types of RPGs here, which one are you interested in:

1. Start Now Type: For those who want to start immediately in a TURN based environment (like MMORPG) then you need to go to: Ruler of Kings or Emperor of Asia or Future Terra or Jerusalem Conquest or Lazarus or Germany 1939 and register on those. The Boards that handle Discussion for these games is located within this Community. Use the Site Map if you are unsure how to find them.

2. Integrated RPGs: This is where the Play by Post and custom script RPGs are part of the Community. Games like Matrix: Plugged, Cozyville, Be A Super Hero RPG and others considers what you do in the Community and thus it affects game play. To see a list of these check the RPG Listing page.

3. Writer's Paradise: For for those who prefer well thought out storylines via Play by Post where the players are more mature then keep reading below:
You need to make 30 Constructive Posts and a 75% activity level as a test to see how well you can participate in our Text Based Games, so get started now by selecting a Board and giving your input. The activity level is to ensure that you are not one of those types that join and then expect to play after days or weeks on inactivity. The best way to make your 30 posts is to use the INDEX scroll down, pick one or two of those Boards that interest you and start Posting! After you make your 30 Posts return here to reply and request 'RPGer Status'.

4. Share Book RPG: This is the EASIEST type of text RPG to get involved in because it only takes you joining in a Thread with a current Book Scenario and giving your vote in which direction a character should move. To see current games go to the Member Wars Board. In the Member Wars section you will also find Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Play by Post which is fairly new.

So... Which RPG are you interested in?

Welcome to the Community. You certainly have a colorful background, and your creative writing experience will certainly come in handy here.

Your own systems are online or offline creations?

I see you are interested in AD&D. A Member here has just started that system, so I am sure he will welcome your presence. We have older systems which are variants as I have been an AD&D GM for decades, but it is my own system: World of Medieval. Which one are you looking to pursue?
