An established group in Rowlett (East Dallas area) is looking for 1-2 more solid players to join our Forgotten Realms 4th edition campaign and to join our permanent gaming group. This campaign is being built from scratch based upon what our players decide to build their profile around (not the stat build of the character but the roleplaying elements such as character history, goals, motivations, etc.)
Our games are heavy roleplay mixed with combat. We are not looking for "Fighter #10" players but someone who actually likes building a living breathing hero (or villain) that has an active part in the world we create. Our roleplay scenes are just as rewarding and deadly as the combat (maybe more) and so if you do not like being put in a situation where your character could affect the course of nations just by an action or words this is probably not the game for you, but if you thrive on such scenes then great rewards and enjoyment will be gained for all.
We typically run House Rules that add to roleplay and allow your first characters to be more powerful than norm as an incentive to want to keep them active in the game/story (HATE cannon fodder playstyle).
We would prefer players with GM experience because those players are typically not "all about me" players since they have had to deal with the needs of others to make a great game. Someone who studies the rules (doesn't have to be a lawyer just will put work into an ACCURATE character without having to babysit) is a must.
Our group likes to have a good time and laugh like everyone does but we also want players who try to stay in character and keep the "out of game" talk to a minimum.
MOST IMPORTANT TO JOINING OUR GROUP: Be responsive and scheduled. We have lost many players primarily due to the fact that they are unable to let us know when/if they can game. We understand that everyone has things going on (some of us are married with kids) but it's not hard to respond to an email or call and let us know you will not make it...and I don't mean 10mins before game time (emergencies exception of course). We also game in clean homes and like people who appreciate that.
