Liam, can you sticky this at the top?

Hey guys,
I'm a 32 year-old player and GM with nearly 20 years experience (primarily flavors of DnD, but also Paranoia, GURPS, Call of Cuthulu, etc). I'm currently in Northern California, but will be moving to New Orleans July 29th to attend UNO in the Fall. I'll be living in a place off Frenchman street initially, and saturday nights would be good for me.

I'd love to meet with you guys and see if we have compatible gaming interests. I've recently completed a long-running Greyhawk campaign using 3.5 - it eventually evolved into a planescape campaign after some of the players moved away and other characters "ascended" in an epic battle that they lost...

My style usually puts the story and characters first, the campaign world second, and the rules third. My favorite campaign world to run is Al-Qadim, a second edition DnD world that is arabian nights in flavor (using a 3rd edition conversion of course). I can also run more conventional western fantasy (greyhawk)... I've also got an incredible Call of Cuthulu adventure (Beyond the Mountains of Madness).

I'd be happy to play in just about any game if you've picked up a DM since this was posted. I'll be bringing a few board games with me, perhaps we could give those a spin as a way to get to know each other?

If you're interested, post back, call, or email me-

Thanks,
Scott

Great. I think six is usually best (5 players + 1 GM). Any more, and combat bogs down. Any fewer, and I tend to kill 'em too quickly.

My girlfriend will be joining me in New Orleans eventually, but she's a (supportive) non-gamer. Oh, and I've got a 6 month-old chihuahua/terrier puppy that will be coming with me most everywhere at first, until she gets used to living in the city. Would it be alright to bring her along?

I haven't tried it yet; not sure how I feel from the reviews I've read, but I'll definitely give it a try.

I love to play or run, although I so frequently end up in the DM's chair, I'm most comfortable there. Switching it up is great too; keeps anyone from getting burned-out.

I've read a lot of gurps books over the years, but never actually played it. I've always wanted to play in a space game though, so I'd definitely be interested in traveler as well. And I've got quite a few ideas I've been itching to use, although I make no claims to be especially good at running games.

I fly overnight from San Francisco on July 29, so I won't be in New Orleans until the morning of July 30. I've got an orientation on Aug 7, and classes start Aug 25. Other than that, my schedule is pretty free for the month of August, and once a regular day is set, I should be able to keep with it during school.

Looking forward to meeting you all,
Scott

I imagine we can work something out. The dog (Nola "Bear" Pennywise) is under 5 lbs, so most cats can kick her butt. She likes cats. We have a kitten that will be staying here in California; they're best friends, although they play in a way that might shock a cat that has never encountered a little dog. When we go to houses with cats she might not get along with, I usually just keep her in my lap or on a very short leash. I could just keep her in the pet carrier that she'll be flying down in - it's small, portable, and she's pretty mellow when she's in the carrier.

Saturday nights would work great for me. Assuming, of course, that we have compatible gaming styles...

And I'd love to find another great place to eat. I lived in NO last summer, so I'm not totally clueless, but my knowledge is pretty limited.

Oh, and look forward to meeting you Scott.  What part of NoCal are you coming from?  My family and I moved here from Sac in 04.

Hello all,

I'm new to NO, having just moved down from Kentucky.  Should you still have the second spot open, I'd be glad to fill it.  I'm mid 30's, and have been playing off and on since around '85.  I'm familiar with several systems, and have GMd DnD from 2nd Ed to 3.5.  I haven't run 4th, but I have read through the system.  I've also run D20 Modern/Future, and quite a bit of Star Wars D20.  I have some of the Gurps Traveler material, but I've never played or run that particular system.

Nice to see that there are some games down here.

John

We made this website/forum about a year and a half ago, because we were looking to game as well. I came down jan 08, and we built the site a few months after that with Laim. We have had a few addictions since then, but there really are very few gamers down here. Would you like to set up a meeting sometime in order to join our table?
