Heyo, I know you fine folks have a deluge of games going on at all times, from board games to one-shots to campaigns both short and long. Well, my fiancee and I have been playing with a group of friends from out of town for a while and while we love those games and intend to continue playing online with them, we’ve been itching for some more face-to-face interactions with our fellow gamers.
We’re primarily interested in some tabletop RPGing, and are hoping to put something together with some people for a campaign that will meet semi-regularly (depending on varying schedules). We are pretty system and genre agnostic and tend to lean toward some rules light games for the sake of storytelling, with the exception of games like Edge of the Empire and Burning Wheel, which are fairly crunchy games but progress in a very natural way.
We have no GM selected at the moment, but barring anyone stepping up to take that mantle, I am more than willing to run the game myself. I’ve been GMing most of my games for the last seven years or so and am pretty comfortable with it, regardless of the system.
We’re hoping to get a group together of around 5 players, plus a GM, which would put us at 6. We’re happy to host the sessions at our apartment which is close to the Heights are and only about 10 minutes or so from Jax Grill and Geek Life, for those of you familiar with the locations.
If anyone’s interested feel free to comment, shoot me an e-mail, or whatever. Like I said before, we have no real plan at the moment we’re just trying to get some more face-to-face gaming started.
Thanks!
Michael

Michael Craft. Bring your crew to Jax for some one shots on Wednesday! Sign up at Gauntlet meetup. We do a lot of powered by the apocalypse which I like but am personally gearing up to run various things that I refer to as non-PbtA. Geek Life is a great venue too. We have a Friday night meet up series there. Please check out the Gauntlet. Look forward to meeting you.

Seconding that, we always welcome another GM at the table, and hope you both will enjoy playing with us. Wednesdays tends to have one “long term” table and one rotating table of one-shots, Friday usually is a 5-6 session game with a semi-solid group.
Looking forward to seeing you both!

I’ve been to a few of the Wednesday meetups, actually, and am a part of the group. I believe I played Fiasco a few weeks ago with you, Parrish, and a couple of others. I had a blast then and I have enjoyed all the other sessions I’ve come to.
But we are personally looking for something a little more long term than what I usually see posted on the Meetup page. One Shots or shorter series of games are a lot of fun and make for a great way to break up the monotony of a single campaign going on for a while, but I’ve always liked having that one reliable campaign where I can (with some friends) watch characters grow and develop over a longer period of time.

Ah apologies, I have a mind like a sieve. I understand the desire for a long term set group of play. Will you be there this Wednesday? Scott Owen and myself will be present to talk over what you’re thinking about, and we’d be happy to put it up on the local Meetup calendar along with a short writeup to get people started with joining you!

Oh sorry. I remember you. I think I only saw you that one time. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. I’m interested to see what system you choose. I agree that if you are going to play a campaign crunchy is the way to go.

Haha, no worries Parrish, it had been a while since I attended one o the meetups and I don’t think I saw you at the ones I’d been to previously.
I may be in attendance, Ferrell, but I can’t say for sure. My fiancee is just getting over a cold and I unfortunately am feeling the beginnings of it myself, so it depends on how I’m feeling tomorrow. If I can be there, I will be. I’ll just have to play it by ear.
