I'm tired of the HP rpg scene. While I've enjoyed my characters immensely, I'm just not enthusiastic about it anymore. I don't want to play other people's characters, I don't want to play real people, etc. I want to play my own characters.

I miss my D&D game. It's a pity Jason is such a fuckwit psychopath along with being a good GM. Otherwise we would probably have a game going. I miss last summer and those games every week. Finding a game is another matter. Ideally I wish we knew more people in town we could play a tabletop game with, but right now I would settle for a decent online game somewhere. I have a play-by-email game that is good, and I like having something to do with that characters. There's just a lot of other things I wish I was doing too. Like my pickpocket dilettante Toreador from hell. That's a character I really want to play.

The other night I took a look at the White Wolf chat rooms, and I can't say I was too enthused. Not to mention this new system they have out, which I haven't read yet. I probably will at some point.

Must be the preparations for renfest, the constant anxiety and need for some sort of escapism pushing these feelings lately. It's that old sense that I want to run away and start my life over. That thought has crossed my mind so many times over the years and I've never done it.

If you are trying online chats for WW gaming, I highly recommend finding a moderated versus an umod... The moderated ones are, right now for the most part, nearly all the old World of Darkness or Dark Ages and there's a dozen or so out there :) They run most of the major games too.

A potential option for tabletop gaming...

Check out http://www.accessdenied.net/. Back when I was in Ohio, I found me a newbie group looking to learn Vampire. A year or so later, I met [livejournal.com profile] biflspud and gotr him hooked up with our gaming group... it rounded out the group nicely...

So, it's reasonably useful and I've had some success with it.

The other option might be posting a want ad at a local game store... I've doen that too with moderate success.

errr, actually, the newbie group was a completely different group than the one [livejournal.com profile] biflspud got hooked up with.

I just about sputtered and choked here, thinking, But I don't run D&D... before I clued in that it wasn't me you were talking about.

Heh.

Oh god when I saw the comment notification I said "Oh my god, he thinks I'm talking about him!"

I should have clarified: Jason the wannabe furry is a fuckwit psychopath. Canadian Jason is a nice fellow, and much more fun.

Da Man is about to start up a new Vampire tabletop game, I'm sure they wouldn't mind more players if you were intrested. They usualy play Sat night.
