Morning everyone. We're an old school table-top gaming group hoping to bolster our ranks with an extra player or two. This would be for a semi-regular Friday (or preferably Saturday) night game in the Flemington area.

Special consideration will be given to those with comedy chops.

We play a game that is:

**Character Focused**
We like to put a lot of time up front with character creation - batting ideas back and forth until the player and GM both agree 100% on the character. This is done to plant the seeds needed to make everyone at the table feel like the main character of the story.

**Low Fantasy**
Because even though the game world oozes with magical energy, most magic is the quiet thing of druids and prophecy and not easily manipulated. (Think Middle Earth and Camelot over Krynn and the Forgotten Realms)

**High Adventure**
The characters are special and will thusly whoop ass. They may be drawn from the ranks of farmers, soldiers, artists, athletes – etc – but they each have a destiny. Danger and adventure will seek them out. They’ll cross swords with (and share tables with) knights, crime-lords and kings, taking the mundane out of low fantasy.

**and Heavy on the Role-Playing**
I put a lot of effort into making a living, breathing world full of cause and effect. We have tons of props, miniatures and thousands of pictures collected over the years for nearly every possible NPC you can meet. We also usually run with 1-2 assistant GMs who are tasked with playing various NPCs through the night - allowing for more dynamic dialog (including not just PC v PC and PC v NPC dialog, but also NPC v NPC w/o making the GMs head explode.)

Most importantly though - the best games we have are those where we don't even get through a quarter of what I have prepared because the party is having too much fun interacting with the world, its inhabitants and their interpersonal politics. And with a handful of enthusiastic role players at the table, they're not too rare either.
