Okay, so.

The last time I was here, about two years ago, I tried running a game.

Then, just as I was starting it, RL intervened, in the form of my GF breaking up with me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) and I'll admit, that sorta...sucked the enjoyment out of everything for me. My apologies to those who were playing. Totally uncool of me to just walk off like that.

Annnnyway, two years+ later, I've gone from employed then to unemployed to, now, in school.

A punishing schedule, and I need something...anything...to blow off steam with.

So, I'm going to set this out in two sections: One, specs I'm looking for games to play in...Two, thoughts re games I'd be willing to GM.

---
So far as play goes:

My system knowledge used to be good, but has now declined to just sort of passable.

Hence, I'm avoiding playing hackers, technomancers, or magic-users...Just straight physical-types for me, right now.

SR4 only...4 or 4a, I care not which.

I prefer 400 bp-ish campaigns.

---
As far as GMing goes:

I can do a variety of scenarios. Simple shadowrunners are okay - I'd also be willing to do a mercenary or cyberpirates campaign.

Because of my current weakness re system knowledge, expect any campaign I run to be high on plot, low on crunch - possibly changing as I become more confident, but I'm not sure. I like it a bit better that way anyway - over the last few years, my roleplaying has come almost exclusively through MUSHes, MOOs, and PBEM groups. I'm adapted to that.

I'd work out the details of any campaign with those playing, of course.
---

So, um, yeah.

Thus is where I stand.
