My RPG profile

fannygisele Haziran 20, 2022

I'm Peter (Peter C on the now-defunct Google+), a Canadian living on the west coast. I started playing RPGs in 1981 or 1982; the first game I owned was the Moldvay Basic box set. It was a gift. (Thanks, Jon!) The first game I bought was the Cook/Marsh Expert box. I went through a long hiatus from pen-and-paper elfgames circa 1986–2004 because I thought they were childish. I have since been disabused of that mistaken notion — this happened around the time I became a stepdad. My re-discovery of the joys of old-school gaming came via the Dragonsfoot.org forums in 2007 (screen name Mak); I subsequently migrated to Google+ for its vibrant OSR and RPG communities and am now, like many others, somewhat adrift, Internet-wise, in the wake of that platform's demise.

In August 2020 I wrapped up a face-to face 5th-edition D&D campaign set in a loose adaptation of the late N. Robin Crossby's Hârn. It had run for five years and through ninety-four sessions, taking the player-characters to 20th level. Since February 2019 I've run an online B/X D&D game set in the same world. It's currently on hiatus while I re-think the setting. In 2020-21 I ran a few adventures to try out various settings and systems (Star Wars d6, some cyberpunk stuff) and played through the The Curse of Strahd with an exceptional group of RPers. Currently I'm playing in an amazing monster-of the-week campaign (inspired by TV shows like Supernatural and The X-Files) set in contemporary BC using a homebrewed set of rules. We've had over 25 sessions so far.

Games I'd especially like to play: The One Ring, Numenéra, Troika!, Into the Odd, Empire of the Petal Throne (1975), Gamma World (1e), Stars Without Number, Classic Traveller, Encounter Critical, any pre-2000 D&D, Pendragon, Star Wars d6. But I'll try pretty much anything.
