DISCLAIMER: brettmb both suggested, and permitted me to post this in two places; as it's somewhat of an odd-duck post.

Who I am: I'm an almost middle aged gamer with over 30 years experience in playing and GM'ing. Born and raised in England, but a lifelong Americanophile, and American citizen.

What I'm looking for: Mature and laidback players with lots of spare time

The pitch: I'm a full-time carer for a disabled wife. While this means I'm technically always on-call, it means I have a lot of downtime where I'm often alone (my wife sleeps a lot because of medication), and I'd like to fill as much of this time as possible with gaming. While my timezone is UTC (+00:00), I'm a night owl. I regularly have large chunks of free time between roughly about 9pm-5am UTC (+00:00), on most days.

What I'm looking for: Retirees, the disabled, trust fund millionaires, and other assorted rejects like myself that are flexible, and have a lot of time on their hands (and are likely to continue to have so), and want friendship and lots of gaming. My target group is probably Gen X'ers and old Millenials, but maturity, sense of humor, and lots of free time are the main prequisites.

I don't mind GM'ing, but I need to play too, so everyone taking turns to GM games would be preferable.

Read this so no-one has their time wasted/ice melted: I grew up during the 80's and 90's. I am irreverent by nature, use no personal pronouns, enjoy blue jokes and double entendres, and I consider every group known to humanity as equally open to poking fun at. If you like words like problematic, or cultural appropriation, this is not the group for you. Like Fonzie, you must be cool.

Oh, and if your idea of RPGing is just playing D&D, you're better off with another group. I don't mind the occasional 3.5 or earlier game, but it is far from my favourite game.

I hope to hear from a few of you, and thank you for your time in reading my post. Have a good one!

Hi we might be able to play together.
We are probably the same age we're probably both the same age we are probably both British.
We may not have the same politics I am basically old school labour.
I don't put up with people being racist or overtly sexist but then again why do you need to be in  polite company?
I play or want to play nearly all the games on your list.
I will retire in 2 years and I am starting to plan and allocate space within the day Since I have a flexible job.

Greetings!

Is this still open?

I do have a 9 to 5 job but I am very open on weekends and have somewhat flexible times on weekdays.

More importantly, I really really want to play again, either as a GM or a Player and I've been looking online for other like-minded folks since my local scene is dead.


EDIT: I am on CST, by the way, if that's relevant.

I hope to hear from a few of you, and thank you for your time in reading my post. Have a good one!

I'm 78 and retired. I was running a game on FB video chat until very recently when one of my players had a heart attack and another had a family emergency that isn't going to end soon.

I would play most anything, alhtough I'd have to learn some of them.

I would run Glory Road Roleplay

I'm EST (Florida) and have a 9 to 5 job but am available weekends. I am just getting back into the hobby after a long break and very much looking for people to play with and it will have to be online as I'm in a very remote area.

ATM I own OLD Traveller, Gamma World (1e, 2e), Pendragon (5e, 6e), GURPS, Ars Magica (4e), and Marrow Project (1e) but will buy a new game if I find a group. I'd be happy to GM down the line a bit but have been away for a long spell and need to wet my feet again playing for a while first.  I mostly ran my own games, one of which which I am prepping for an attempt at publishing right now.  My old game "Ashes & Empires" that I ran for over 20 years in free on DriveThru if you want to take a look.


I've played the following for significant stretches over the years:

AD&D 1e, Gamma World, Traveller, Marrow Project, Space 1889, GURPS, Twilight 2000, Role Master, MERP, James Bond 007, Top Secret (1e), Star Trek (FASA), Star Wars (West End), Ars Magica (4e), Cyberpunk 2020, Cyberpunk (Iron Crown), Mech Warrior (1e), and others I'm sure I've forgotten.

I'm in Deerfield Beach and C.J. Carella is just up the coast.
