About
I'm fairly new to gaming, only been playing the last 4 years or so. Mostly I've played OWoD, Exalted, Shadowrun (using bits and pieces from the first 3 editions), RIFTS (very little). I've also played a little bit of Fiasco, Shab al-hiri Roach, Marvel Universe RPG... and probably a dozen or so others I can't think of off hand. I've run a short campaign of MURPG (locked door mystery with supers, went about as well as you'd expect), and a couple short runs of Sorcerer.
In general I'm hoping to get a chance to play Apocalypse World, Dresden Files RPG, Burning Wheel/Empires/Mouse Guard, Poison'd, HeroQuest... there's a few others on the list.
Though here I'm hoping to get a chance to run a campaign of Nobilis (whenever I can get my hands on a copy). I may run a few other games here, and might join a couple once I know what kind of experience this medium supports (haven't RPed online before).
I mostly prefer games where conflicts and stats are more abstracted, more general, and where stakes are clearly defined before any dice are picked up. And yes, I do prefer dice based mechanics, though I'm by no means hard-core on that issue. I also have several systems and settings I'm working on, a few of which use less usual forms of conflict resolution (like a table top RPG that uses a magic 8 ball for conflict resolution).
If everything works out here I'd like to run a campaign of Nobilis that gets it's flavor from the works of Neil Gaiman (American Gods, Neverwhere, and Sandman as inspiration). I'd also like to run a game of MURPG using a more literal interpretation of the energy regen rules (recovery each frame rather than every minute of in-game time). I figure both of those systems should suit the medium quite well.
