20 years on and off
>How much do you play per month?

>Group status (randos in FLGS,RL friends, internet...)
I started out playing with friends, but nowadays I only play on Roll20 anymore.
>Favourite system
FATE
>Favourite game tone (realistic, fantastical, lighthearted, grim, etc...)
I like grimdark or noir settings, but I tend to be a bit of a bullshitter at the table so I end up playing pretty lighthearted characters anyway.
>Why do you visit Veeky Forums?
Because I'm bored.
>What other boards do you visit?
Veeky Forums and /co/
>Favorite character you played
Nathan the Red, Wandering Paladin. Basically a Bard born into the wrong class. Ended up marrying a snake demon sorceress and retiring from adventuring to live with her, partially because it was the safest way to pacify her and partially because, hey, why not?
>Least favorite character you played
My first character. I don't even remember his name. The DM didn't trust me to make my own character and just handed me a sheet without any further explanation or anything. He was a bog-standard AD&D Human Ranger and the only thing I really remember about him is that he was the only member in the party who could swim worth a damn.
>Favorite character someone else played
Maribelle, the quarter-demon Druid. Basically picture related except part goat, played by someone who could actually pull off being a snarky jerk without being a complete cunt.
>Favourite fantasy/sci-fi race
Elves. Yeah, fuck you too.
>Favorite totally-not-[insert culture here]
1920s New York.
>It would be cool if [something] appeared more often in games
More mysteries and detective stuff. Everyone's always playing medieval fantasy murderhobos and I'm tired of it. Also, I've always wanted to play Dogs in the Vineyard with a talented GM.

It will be hilarious to see maybe 3 dozen posts at most.

Epic, larger than life, big damn heroes. In theory, anyway. Maybe someday I'll actually get to play in a game like that, but considering even the Exalted campaign was anything but it seems pretty hopeless.

Me as a player. Such is life as a Forever DM

24
US
Roughly six years, on and off.
Currently twice at best.
Friends and family.
5e, although outside of one session of pathfinder that's all my group's considered.
Reasonably realistic, in tone if not content. Fantastic creatures and impossible feats are fine, but people should still act like people.
I honestly don't know anymore.
/a/, /k/, formerly /int/, a couple generals on Veeky Forums, the usual smattering of porn boards.
Forever DM reporting.
^
I try not to play favorites, but my brother's cleric (who's actually a fighter with a fixation and a bunch of healing potions) is always fun to watch.
Dunmer.
Persian.
I'd like it if my group would show more interest in establishing their own network of friends and contacts. They're always content to coast off whatever connections their favorite NPC has.

Eric Bleednot. He was my first character ever. My first campaign was a 3.5 game that the DM had made from scratch. It lasted three and a half years. I'm not going to say he was the coolest, most creative, or powerful character, but he's the character that always comes to mind when people ask me what kind of character I like to play.

>It would be cool if [something] appeared more often in games
The threat of a sad and ignoble death. Too many games seem to make death an extremely unlikely impossibility unless you're fighting the biggest, baddest, evilest guy ever. It takes away from the seriousness any regular battle and turns it into seeing how long it takes to grind down the current enemy before you can move onto another pointless, bland, and repetitive "battle".

Deep mundane combat options, supernatural abilities for fighting types that aren't just learning spells, letting players influence world-building/setting design as part of chargen.

I mean, there's funny ones, and ones that are fun to hate/ mess with , but there's been no NPC's that either I or the party has ever been particularly attached.

A player in 4 weekly ongoing games, occasional player in weekly oneshots, a GM in another (with the possibility of a new game starting up due to increased interest).
> Group Status
All of the games I'm a player in are with an internet group of ~15 players and a single GM; pretty good friends with most of them by now. The game I GM for is in person with some irl friends.
> Favorite System
Given I'm still rather new to the hobby, can't really say; I've only played on Pathfinder, d20 Modern, Fate, Starfinder, and WHFRP 2e.
> Favorite Tone
Really depends; one of my favorite sessions in an ongoing Pathfinder game started off with the party leader convince a prostitute to follow her dreams of being a toymaker. It was followed up with me nearly getting brutally murdered in my sleep, so it's inconsistent.

> Favorite character I've played so far.
Probably my current Pathfinder character: a human cross-blooded sorcerer. First character I ever made, but not the first I played (he was part of an aborted attempt at 3.5e I joined in 2015). When my GM told us we were starting a new campaign a few months back, I immediately rebuilt him for Pathfinder. It's been a blast finally getting to play him.
> Least favorite character?
Definitely the first I played; she was a human ranger with a boar companion. Her boar wound up being far more memorable than her.
> Favorite character somebody else played?
Definitely this bard from the last campaign; his accomplishments include getting multiple gods who hated each other to work together.
> Favorite race
Right now it's probably Skittermander from Starfinder.
> Favorite totally-not-(insert culture)
Tie between Chinese and Mongol for this.

> It'd be cool if this appeared more often in games.
Character deaths or retirement; my current Pathfinder game is about to suffer from the Ship of Theseus issue, with only 2 of the original 5 characters still being around (mine and one other guy's). As soon as we make it through a megadungeon we're in, my character's retiring from the group; at this point, he has IC no reason to keep going along with the group, so might as well play a character that does.

20

Puerto Rico (technically part of the US)

About two years, I think.

Weekly sessions between three different groups. 3 hours in one group, 5 hours in the other and 6+ hours in one. 14 hours a week times 4 is 56 hours a month, which is a very rough estimate.

Usually friends.

DnD 5e, but I'm becoming a big fan of L5R

Sword and sorcery stuff that's kind of grimdark and real gritty/down and dirty, or super lighthearted, cutesy, high magic stuff.

Veeky Forums has been a hugely influential part of my life for the past 6 to 7 years, so Veeky Forums is just a chapter of that.

Currently? /ic/ because I want to get good at drawing. Other than that, not many, but I used to love visiting /k/, /a/, /wg/, /ic/, Veeky Forums, Veeky Forums and /trv/.

Flambe, human wizard. She was the complete opposite of who I am as a person and was made with the intention of challenging myself as a roleplayer, and it was one of the most satisfying characters to play.

Rhodes, human ranger and my very first character. He was stupidly boring and didn't have any idea what I was doing when I made him.

This is a hard one. As a DM, I would have to say Alo, a vampire sorcerer a player of mine did. Really fun to work with as a DM. As a player, I would have to say Calor, a human rogue that was in the same party as Flambe. That party in general was amazing and is probably one of the best games I've had the privilege to be in, but Calor takes the cake because of the awesome dynamic Calor and Flambe had.

Dragonborns are fucking kickass.

Japan, definitely.

The fucking Renaissance era. Seriously, there needs to be more fantasy settings that are more like Renaissance era Europe instead of High Middle Ages Europe. I wanna have matchlocks and flintlocks be a wizard's nightmare.

Depends on the setting. Personally tend to like a really fantastical cliche high fantasy

It tends to have the best discussion/funniest funny threads. Plus it have the right flavour of rage for someone who's lost all hope in life.

vg, cos, fa, soc, h, d, aco

Forever DM until my most recent campaign

Same

My friend's gay bard from a long time ago
>Favourite fantasy/sci-fi race
Humans, the idea of just a Joe every man struggling through and conquering against all odds is something I really like. For something special though; I do tend to like races relating to deities or demons. Not like tieflings or devas, but like has demon blood, a deity's aspect, or something like that. It can make for good role play in the right hands.
>Favorite totally-not-[insert culture here]
Arabic, Greek, middle-ages Europe, and viking in that order.
>It would be cool if [something] appeared more often in games
I just wanna be a PC in a bunch of games based off of intellectual properties or fun very specific concepts

1971 was now 47 years ago, so that's still around 50 years ago if I believe the date given by the other user.
