Looking for solo DnD 4th Edition game

Hello (again), whomever may be reading this ;).

I've been wanting for a while now to play a game involving a couple of characters I made a while back (as in, a couple of years ago...maybe a little longer) for a tabletop game run by my dad. I'd made a four-character party so each of the four main roles was filled. I ended up deciding I really liked two of these characters (who had a joint backstory, while the other two characters' backstories were joined with each other but not with these two) and would like I play them some more - the game they were in didn't really last too long due to lack of time to play and stuff :(.

If there is someone out there who'd like to run a game for them, that would be cool. I won't pour out every last little detail here but to give you an idea, they are both "unusual" races (one of which is considered a "monster" race, but is still humanoid), perhaps a little "morally ambiguous"...they're not outright bad guys but if they saw a village being raided by bandits they're just as likely to go "Hmm, that place looks like trouble - let's give it a miss" as "Oh, some people are being killed, maybe we should help them" ;). They have no specific home and are generally just wandering around seeing what the world has to offer - they are fine with living rough and all that. They will both become very irate, very quickly if the other is harmed/threatened, though are likely to react in different ways. They tend to prefer to stick together, for their own separate reasons - one protects the other, who looks out for him in other ways, and both provide general company for each other to talk to and stuff.

Role-wise, they are a Defender and a Striker. I did have character sheets for them but since getting a new computer I can't use the old Character Builder any more so I'm now using Hero Lab and will have to recreate their sheets...but this shouldn't take long. I like to use the "4d6 remove lowest" method of rolling stats (rolling my own dice, on my desk, because I don't like automated die rollers and the one on here seems to hate me anyway :P), and would prefer to start at a level no higher than three, since that's the level they got to before - starting at level one is fine, though :).

I'm really just looking for some kind of adventure for them to have so I have an excuse to RP them interacting with each other and with other people and stuff, and develop their characters some more just because I like them. It doesn't have to be a dungeon crawl, or a "save the world" level of plot, and wouldn't work as any kind of political-machinations kind of thing (since neither character cares about...well, politics and stuff). Maybe just start with something generic and see what develops from there? I dunno. That'd be your job, as the GM, whomever you might be. If, indeed, someone is interested.

I might just go and sort out their sheets anyway, just in case I have any takers here. Thanks in advance if anyone is interested and in the event that more than one person is so, I apologise to any I may have to turn down (but if the first GM doesn't work out for whatever reason then maybe you'll still get your chance ;)).

Meanwhile I'll just sit here and melt because omg the temperatures here in England atm, bleerrrggghhh...

Just to update this, I have had a reply from someone who's up for GMing me, so consider this basically closed unless it doesn't work out, in which case I'll bump it or something :).

Re: Looking for solo DnD 4th Edition game

So after a couple of encouraging posts being exchanged between me and a potential GM over the space of a day or two, he now appears to have completely disappeared after that (which was within a day or so of my putting up the first post of this thread). So I'm reopening my advertisement and am in search of a GM who's up for running a game for my two characters. Let me know if you'd like any more info on them and I can PM you their backstory and stuff :).

Advertisement on hold again as I have a couple of potential GMs willing to run the game for me :). Will reopen if it doesn't get anywhere.

Re: Looking for solo DnD 4th Edition game

After some searching I've managed to find this thread again in order to bump it rather than starting a new one - I had a GM who started running this game for me but it went rather terribly and only lasted a few posts (I think the GM ended up dropping it anyway). Then I had someone else who'd contacted me and we swapped a bunch of messages via RMail and it looked like it was gonna go well - the game got made and my characters were all ready to go, the first IC post was made by the GM giving a description of the area and I replied to it with my characters walking along having a conversation. And...that was it. The GM hasn't posted since late October. I think I've waited long enough (I know sometimes stuff can come up, but after three months I want to get going) so I'm re-bumping this thread to see if anyone else is up for running a game for my characters. If you're interested, chuck me an RMail and I'll paste you their backstory :).

In the event that I get more than one person offering to run a game, I might just go with whomever gets in first and contact the other(s) if that one ends up failing. Who would've thought it'd be so difficult to get a straightforward solo DnD game running :(.
