[ sorry korea, sorry france, sorry UK, but nj.* doesn't seem to work] I have recently moved from the Land of Enchantment (how many of you knew that was a real place?!?) to Morristown NJ and am now looking for FRP in this area. I am an experienced AD&D DM and player, 24 years old, with a car, so I am willing to drive a few miles to play. I run medium length campaigns, usually .5 to 1.5 years of real-time, meeting once a week for 4-5 hours. I emphasize character role-playing but have been known to stage large battle scenes that take one or two weeks to totally resolve. To blow my own horn a little, I enjoyed a very good reputation in New Mexico; in one tournament several years ago players in my group took 1st and 2nd, (I took 4th) as players, and in a more recent tournament I designed and ran the senior class dungeon. I am not a believer in hard-and-fast rules -- my basic approach is that of a mythologist unfolding a exciting myth -- I will often ignore dice or printed rules if I think by doing so is better for the game. I want my players to leave the table feeling glad they came to play, even if their characters got the worst of it that session. I have run by-the-book campaigns in the past though, and could easily make the transition if an established group likes to play that way. I am not just interested in Dming. I wouldn't mind in the least being a player. Nor would I mind trying out a rule system I am unfamiliar with (which means pretty much anything other than AD&D.). I am interested especially in participating in a superhero campaign and a Call of Cthulu(sp) adventure. The recent article in net.games.frp about Impromtu have made me interested in trying that out as well -- either as a player or game master. To phone me, try (201)-699-3830 during working hours (9-5) or (201)-644-0016 during the weekend. Let me restate my interests: A. AD&D 1. DMing a. an experienced group (5 or less, > 18 years old) b. Novices or mixed (same comments) 2. Playing B. Other games 1. Superhero role playing (I have Champions, one other but I should be considered a novice) 2. Call of Cthulhu (I dont have the set) 3. Impromtu -- either playing or Game mastering So, if you are novice looking for an experienced DM or a member of group needing another player or would like to start another group give me a call or write to ihnp4!pyuxv!bingham. I guess I forgot to say I could host a small group in my apartment. Bryan Bingham ...ihnp4!pyuxv!bingham
