I'm a veteran player and GM. I'll admit I've GM'd a bit too much.  So
before I return to GMing, I'll try to see what is out there in the
way of games as a player.

I am looking for an ORIGINAL game - sci fi or superhero preferred -
with 4 or 5 active players at most, but with daily posting, not just
a bunch of lurkers or players that leave games hanging for a week or
so at a time with work as their excuse. Sure I understand that bills
must be paid. But if you don't have the time to play, don't join - at
least not as an active player.

I will entertain solo games that are exploratory sci fi or fantasy in
nature. I don't list fantasy as a genre I am looking for usually as I
don't care to technologically lobotomize myself. Modern or later
origins for my character please.

No Star Trek
No Star Wars
No D&D
No Firefly or TV shows.
No Game systems to learn. I have played most, but it's been years and
I don't have access to my books as I'm on the road most of the time.
I'm looking to ROLE-play, not roll-play.  In short, I prefer game
mechanics that are invisible.
No IRC (Sorry, but rarely able to sit that long)

I don't mind if games are inspired loosely by such sources, but do
something original.  I enjoy characters of Hollywood caliber.  Why?
'Cause they're fun.

Finally, no comments from the peanut galleries.  Yes, I know that
daily posting is probably impossible for most.  I probably can't make
that ALL the time myself.  But I am looking for a very active game
with involved players - who can do better that 2-3 lines of text.
I'm used to writing half a page to a page and a half every day.  I
did that for years.  By being a player, I'm actually taking a break
... lol.
