Description:

Greetings all of you roleplayers who are looking for a one-on-one game
which wouldn't suddenly stop as the GM makes a disappearing act. It's like
a magic trick that doesn't make anyone laugh. It shouldn't be like that.
The game ends when it should end, be that good or bad. Victory or fall.
Not when real life takes over. At least then both involved should have the
common decency to let the other know that there will no longer be a game
to play. Not just vanish in thin air...

Now, after getting that out of my system... I have a proposition. I have
about dozen ideas running around in my head - some fantasy, some scifi and
some modern. I can't make up my mind and therefore I'm looking for a
player to kick me ahead. So you tell me what kind of a game you'd like to
play and I'll set it up. Maybe you have a character idea already spawning
in your mind but it's hard to find a game where he/she could fit in?

I might also start a game with two players working together, so maybe if
two willing players would be found... ? Think about it. Some of my
favorite movies include two main characters, such as the Lethal Weapon.
The reason why I'm only looking for one or two players is simple - it
gives me more control for the game and also decreases the risk of the game
simply starting to get boring. So I'm not interested in running a sim
where anyone could control what happens next.

As like in the tabletop rpg's, you only control one character and decide
for his/her actions. I, as the GM, decide the outcome of those actions.
The NPC's and the gameworld as well. Story, characters and certain flow in
the game are more important than anything to me. And I'd rather play with
one (or two, like said earlier) good player who I feel we're on the same
wavelenght than with 10 who feel so distant I can hardly understand why
I'm playing/GMing in the first place ;-)

-P/E
