I want to keep track of more stats than a Baseball fanatic.
I want to get into arguments over minutia.
Theres no two ways about it.
I want to play a tabletop RPG again.
Its been a few years since I've had a regular game. The GM that was running it was awful. He'd always run modules that he'd find online but he'd never run them correctly. He wouldn't read them ahead of time, a light skimming over is all he'd do. Then he'd make mistakes on details that mattered. And combat...
Every dungeon we'd end up in, and it was ALWAYS a fantasy campaign, every time he'd end up lining the enemies up in a row and marching them straight at us. He'd guess as to how long it'd take them to get to us from wherever they are in the building and they'd attack us in wave after wave. We'd never explore the place, the sweet encounters that were written up for specific room never happened, just a two hour long fight then we get all the loot. Game over.
If you can imagine he was even harder to deal with as a player. The last game we played where he was a PC devolved into an hour long debate on committing genocide on a tribe of Goblins.
I don't play with him anymore.
So I want to get a new game going soon. Something horror or Sci Fi. Something where characters can be built to do something other than cleave enemies in half and still be worth playing.
I do have a Call of Cthulhu core book around here somewhere...
