Greetings, fellow Solo players. After seeing Lithrath's intro post, it inspired me to might as well make my own, seeing as at very least, the owner/creator of the site is still out and about around here. I felt that he deserves a shout-out 'specially because these forums tend to move so slow these days, which I find to be a grand disappointment.
I've only been legit tabletop gaming for the past 3 or 4 years now, since I was 17, but I've been doing roleplay since I was 11 years old. I've come quite the ways with my abilities and knowledge, and will say that there would be plenty of things I wouldn't know if not for tabletop proccing the question. Before gaming like this, I never would have considered the idea that a sparkplug makes a perfectly viable shotgun projectile, or how heavy a grenade weighs compared to how much the average pigeon can life without impeding flight. Tabletop has brought a lot of knowledge and entertainment to my life.
As it currently stands, I'm hoping to make a mark in this community. I really like this site and the variety of tools it has. While I'd never choose it over a table of other players, there are weeks we can't meet, and I'll be the first to state I'm a bit of an RP addict. This really helped me curb that feeling. It's also great for just making a character (made an exalted 3ed heroic mortal that actually turned out surprisingly interesting with a good deal of plothooks), making a story (working on an extended storyline of my personal main character in most tabletops going through a zombie apocalypse as his general smart-ass self, and I intend for it to be truly lengthy. It's already over 7,000 words, and I'm on day 2 of week 1, at the end of which I'd have switched to taking things a week at a time until week 24. It's supposed to be pretty long.), to making a system by which the rules you make (Also doing this, as I'm making my own little system to work within the zombie apocalypse setting as well. I like zombies, what of it?). I've recommended this site to at least 3 people, even if it's just to help flesh out a story or a character, and I do hope to see the actual play forums get more active some day soon.
