Recon by fire

[Psychoman]

In order to find out who we have and what we're all interested in, as far as RPGing goes, I'm making this post. It's been a great while since I've been here and I've forgotten or just don't know people and need to know what ideas we all have and who's playing.

So go ahead, shoot. We'll call it a brainstorming session. Throw some ideas out there and let yourself be known as a (role) player. Most people who remember me might know what I'm into, and I'm still into that stuff. I'm a Star Wars nerd, Roman history nut, into war stuff and etc. But it's not what I'm into, I'm here to serve.

Just so long as we get something like this going so I can kill my boredom and stimulate my creative muscles and have SOMETHING to look forward to after work, heh. But I'll be out of commission January 5th. But back in business by February.

Role-player, sporadically online. I can only get on one out of every two weeks reliably, though I'm usually on one or two days of the other week. Anyway, I'm in to, aside fromt the obvious 'Aliens and Predators', Star Wars, Halo, military roleplaying, mercenary/bounty hunter, post-apocalyptic roleplaying, horror, zombies (which is mostly a combination of the two previous entries, but deserves special mention), fantasy and medieval roleplaying, Lord of the Rings (special mention), and other roleplaying settings on a case-by-case basis if they look awesome.

Also, welcome back.

Well we haven't been doing much RPing at all lately on this site, but I miss them and would appreciate starting up a new one.

My interests are very broad, so it's all good. Mostly I'm a complete sci-fi nut but the background of an RP can range from the 12th century to Star Wars to Splinter Cell and I'll still like it.
So let's just throw out some simple ideas and start one up.

Alright then, this is what I like to hear. Broad tastes, and likes and willingness to compromise.

The Star Wars idea seems to be the most popular, but even within that are plenty of other choices to make. The extended universe of that franchise is enormous. Old republic, new republic, empire. Those are the first three to pop in my head.

Adding a gritty realism to Star Wars always appealed to me, though I think the movies did a fine job of adding a realism to it and depth that many movies never had.

I'd probably (Predictably) play in some form of military. Whether the GAR, Imperial Legion, or Republic Army or whatever. But the Bounty Hunter deal always appealed to me. But I've heard it said you should write about what you know so I'd probably do recon. But with a dash of hollywood in the Star Wars theme, of course, to make it interesting.


Those are my thoughts.

When I'm roleplaying Star Wars, I usually like to either be a bounty hunter, be a Jedi, or be a Sith. If none of those are available, I can have fun with pretty much any role in the universe, but those are the most interesting (for me) to play with because of all the toys they give me. Wrist-mounted flamethrowers, poison darts that make people wither to nothingness, rockets, blasters, cords that automatically tie people up for me... the freaking Force...

I'm just a big kid at heart, really, and I really like my toys. ^_^

I'm back from JRTC, at Fort Polk, and I'm still serious on this RP thread. We seem keen on Science Fiction, and Star Wars is certainly popular and as far as I'm concerned anything done, even something out there like Star Wars, with even a thread to reality (in other words, somewhat realistic or based in reality) I can get into and find interesting. Because it would be just like anything in real life but with the escape of the far more interesting Star Wars flavor.

And I'm always partial to the Clone Wars era, because Storm Troopers annoy me in their hapless running and bumbling around as they bump and trip over each other yelling "IT'S THEM! BLAST EM!". Clone troopers are more real seeming in their SOP's and TTP's.

Stirring the pot. Anyone else? Or should I sit down and shut up?
