Long time rpger. I always loved the MSHRPG classic game. I would prefer to play in google handouts, skype or similar type of play. I don't care for play by post. I can GM as well as play. Back in the 80's early 90's I ran plenty of marvel games as well as others like AD&D, VampireTM and many others. I prefer weekends Fri-Sun. I know of 1-3 others who may be interested in playing as well.

I'll continue reading on the forums to see what all information is available. Would be great to hookup with others to play.

I LOVE this site. Great information all in one convenient location. Thanks!

Welcome, Chancellor

welcome to the forums and have fun.

well Chancellor, Gil rund a game in the chat on fridays, I think there are still a few available slots for new players, though you will have to double check with Gilgamesh on that one...

Oh yea, come play!!

would be great to have you only need one more.



Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 08/21/2013 02:40PM by GILGAMESH.

oh yeah if you do roll up toon in purple book,or better yet come see us in chat room pull up virtual chair crack a brew and les talk.

steel and chrono are good players

Steel is a much better player than I am. I have a habit of thinking too much and am a tad paranoid.. For some reason I always think that the villians are out to get me and that the GM holds all the cards or something..

Villains are out to get you, and the loot!!
And gloating rights!
Will you let them?

As to being a better player....
Just a different style.

And there's Major's much praised (by me) modesty taking effect. Don't let it fool you. He's an awesome player!

tomorrow..
Yes the game is tomorrow.
Saturday I have a OWoD garou game
Playing a Silent Strider Theurge.
