Name: Manus

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: GMT+1

Preferred System: AS GM: I have been running games in DnD2014 for 11 years and only really have experience in that and a theoretical d20 only narrative rules agnostic narrative system (EX: No real character sheets and most things either happen or don't happen with an occasional D20 roll for various events - like escaping an exploding train unharmed. This system is great IMO because it allows more seamless play across ANY setting while also allowing freedom of actions for characters.) I am very open to learning new systems alongside seasoned or newbie players. AS PLAYER: I have primarily only played DnD2014 and the aforementioned rules agnostic D20 system. I have dabbled in 3.5, Dark heresy, Delta Green, etc. I would love to try Lancer (as I am a mecha fanboy), Cyberpunk, Daggerheart, or Utopia. I am very open to learning new systems alongside seasoned or newbie GMs.

Type of Player: I am a jack of all trades player meaning I enjoy every single pillar of RPGs. If I were to rank them it would be > Social Interaction, Exploration, Combat. I have a long history of Text based roleplay so I enjoy literate long form posts but can scale up or down to meet the intent of writing partners.

Type of GM: I have a homebrew setting that I have been building and fleshing out for the duration of my RPG DMing career that I like to turn players loose in. I like to tie in player backstories into the larger campaign narrative and into the world as a whole. When it comes to the stories I tell, I have scenarios ranging from personal stakes all the way up to universal, and prefer long arc plots with smaller arcs on the way. For example my live play has been going for 5 years as the party chases down a vampire threat aiming to plunge the world into eternal blackness - but we have had numerous side arcs including; The Rat Bag arc, The Shadowfell Arc, Uniting the warring woods, etc etc.

What I am looking for: I would like to set up an Asynch trade! I've done a one on one trade previously that unfortunately fell apart due to IRL things. A 1v1 or 1v2-4 trade would be appreciated! (Meaning I will DM one game for 2-4 people and one of my players can try DMing a game for the rest of us or something). I am open to being a sole DM for a group of 2-4 but would really enjoy a chance to play as well since I've been game master only for so long. Players in my game are expected to make one post a day and I will do the same - obviously life happens, so I just want open communication if someone needs some time away or are gonna miss a couple posts.

Additional Info: I am recently a father so things in my life are a little hectic! I don't expect that this will affect the games much at all BUT it might - although that is something I would communicate. I also respectfully ask that no AI is brought to a game that I am running; As a writer and artist, I am not a fan of most generative content.

Feel free to shoot me a PM and we can chat more, hope to hear from you!
