Teal
Certifiably Political
Yo. Looks like I’m new here. Well, kinda. I actually joined this site a few months back, but kept putting off making this introduction thread – and doing anything else on the site, for that matter. This place’s more than a little intimidating, I fear.
Anyway, you all can call me Teal. I’ve been RPing for a while now – but mainly as a GM lately. Most of my experience comes from freeform forum games, but I do know the rules for Exalted, and I’ve run a few real-time sessions with a friend of mine to try and get a feel for the system. Also was a player in an Exalted game for a bit. I can say with a lot of certainty that the game is really hard to run well. Even so, getting a serious Exalted campaign together is a bit of a long-term goal for me.
Let’s see. Most of the games I play in are fantasy (sometimes High, sometimes not) – I really like magic in my roleplays. Also something of a difficulty junkie (I like hard games) and enjoy mysteries a fair amount. Consequently, my games are usually hard and feature magic and mystery prominently. I also put a pretty heavy emphasis on the roleplaying experience itself, both when I play a character and when I run a game.
So, why am I here? I’ve been meaning to join a dedicated RP forum for a while now, since most of my internet activity was in the RP sections of forums. I sorta knew about this place thanks to Keychain of Creation, so I figured I’d give it a shot. Not in an awful hurry to join a new game, but I’ll take a look around as time allows and see if I can get a feel for how things work.
So, uh. Hi there?
