I'm looking for an opportunity to play in a game that can have some world building in it on the hand of the player(S)

Ideally, the game might use one of the systems below. In all of the below cases, I have some character drawn up already for them, and maybe a direction for a plot to go.

Pathfinder: Kromdor, a Half-Orc Barbarian eccentric. Aspires for dragon-like cave filled with gold, which he keeps wasting on cheap booze and fiery women (or vice versa)

D&D 5E: Xandria, a young Elvish bard who's grown tired of the placidness of her home and it's culture, in search of adventures and people worth writing songs about. Humans, Dwarves, and the like may be rough and brutish, but at least their interesting.

Exalted 3E: Forge of New Realities, a headstrong Twilight Caste looking to outmatch even the wonders of the First Age in order to defeat the traitors of the Realm.

Mutants and Masterminds: Abigail Abrams, a fiery and argumentative young lady with supernatural gifts trying to do the right thing as the masked hero Lady Liberty, while also trying to maintain her GPA....

Star Wars Saga Edition (preferably Old Republic period): Vin Dalto, a troubled but powerful Umbaran Force Sensitive, struggling to keep the lessons of the Jedi Knights despite the desire for revenge against those who killed her parents.


Would also be interested in the following, though specific characters and plots would be pending
Starfinder
FATE
Iron Kingdom
Star Trek Adventures

I work an odd schedule, so I would (selflishly) long for this to be a solo campaign, but if a GM wanted it open for a full group, that's not a dealbreaker by any means.

Edit: it's been a hell ov' a day for me, so I'm fixing some caught typos. What do you need from a GM for the Elvish Bard?

I'm basically newbie to D&D 5e. I know literally nothing about Xandria other than the name. I have no idea what to expect other than elves and bards being in it. lol. I am, however, reading you wanting to build a world up, rather than find a niche in a pre-established campaign setting. So that might not be a bad thing, and might be a plus.

I know 5e enough to cold read, and improvise. I know the very core basics of the system's necessities. I know how healing works with HD, I know about "Action" types being largely condensed to an action; just that, and the freebies you get either bonus or as "part of" your action. I also, of course, should say I am a long time D&D player, though certainly newer than old school. So AC, and HP, and saves are basically old hat and closer to 3e (when I started) than anything like THAC0, where the old school had a youth's lifetime to enjoy.

I have a love of Western (but also Eastern) fantasy games. Elves, magic, and medieval weaponry, all still excite me after all this time. Bards have always been an interest, since I love sharing music (though certainly not my own!) both receiving and offering.

What kind of posting rate do you want?

I can't post very often unless you catch me at the right time of day. Time of day is most critical. If I see red light pop up, while I'm on RPoL, and ask a question or state an action, and then see a reply, we'll get SO much farther than my maybe once a week crap-shoot. This is largely a good reason I follow solo games, as a GM, but still stick to group play (sadly) so there's more chance for even just ONE good connection. If I can find just one person who can post in sync, even once a week, then we could have well over 2k posts in a year. With a group, it ends up being closer to a quarter of that, with the real progress being when everyone is FINALLY in tune. I would love a solo game that had a communication out of character about projected "I'll be on RPoL on Monday" or "I've got a free day today. If you can be on in less than three hours, I could devote..." some amount of time to gaming; even if it's something where you have an hour here, and hour there, and then maybe two fifteen minute sneak posts.

My solo games have failed, because I simply can't devote much of the week to posting. Heck, there have been certain months I post once or twice, but had a solid 48 hours to devote to RPoL, only to have nothing to interact with.

Here's an idea: consider this a back up game. Nothing in my series of posting to elicit closing off other options. If you're busy, and it doesn't work, I hope we can just figure that out with no drama. If it works, it'll be happy serendipity.

You just have to ask yourself if it's worth taking a chance, and devoting to transparent communication of when you're busy and not.

In closing, my schedule is VERY and I mean VEEEERY erratic. I don't even have a set sleep schedule, because of my home life and health needs. So it's likely we will sync up better, and by that that I mean MUCH better, than two people who may have identical interest, but just have totally opposite on/off cycles with long term consistency. It can take me between 15 minutes and an hour to make a post. So there's potential, especially on the once on a blue moon dead days; canceled doctor's visits, emergency otherwise handled by a family or friend, broken down car, few hour heating/cooling repair; etc... I have, on occasion, had the pleasure to game with people on RPoL who've had some of these things happen, and we easily hit over a hundred posts in one day. It's also a great way to relax on those otherwise stressful days prone to provoke superfluous worry.

I hope you'll consider this.

Good luck! I hope you have fun in whatever you do on RPoL!
