Re: Question for Those Looking for Games
In reply to eternaldarkness (msg # 11):
No, I understood what you meant. The example that came to mind was literally a case of sitting down to start a new game, the GM saying, "What do you want to play?" and me saying, "I have NO idea. We're gonna let the dice decide this time." Everything, at every point of character generation where there was an option to roll dice to figure out what the character was going to be, was rolled...stats, race, background, profession, rank, etc etc etc. It could have been total strudel...very easily. I was expecting some kind of train-wreck somewhere along the line. It ended up being a remarkably playable character.
But, like I said, the dice were being very cooperative that night...
I should add, in a different vein, that seeing a GM advertise for new players when I'm in a game that they've abandoned without any word to any of the players, is pretty much a guarantee that I'm never going to look at ANY of that GM's games again. (Yes, that has happened to me...to make matters even worse, the new game the GM was starting was practically identical to the one that had been abandoned...set in a different locale, but it was the same concept, in the same universe, using the same system...and there were twenty or so players in the old game asking if anyone had heard anything from the GM...)
