The basics:
* Want to meet in South Tampa or close enough. Temple Terrace or St. Pete is fine. New Port Richey is not.
* Looking for 4-5 players.
* Meet once a week for 4-6 hours and treat it like a commitment.
* Ideally all players 21+, but what I'm really asking for is maturity.
* I STRONGLY prefer using Fantasy Grounds II to avoid the usual gaming group mess. I have the ultimate license, so you only need to bring a laptop; any OS should work.
I've been role-playing across various systems for about 21 years. I'd say I'm about 75%-80% concerned about letting the rules arbitrate events-- otherwise why play a game?-- but I'm mostly interested in telling an awesome story with characters that players really care about going on adventures that everyone's invested in.
I'd insist on meeting up at a restaurant or bar or coffee place first to see if our personalities mesh. I really hope we'll get along and forge an awesome group here in Tampa!
