OK, another gaming poll.

OK, my life has now become stable enough to consider gaming again. I really, really want to do a face-to-face game because my job, while something I love, is fairly solitary and I'd like to do something social.

I have literally dozens of campaign concepts sitting in my campaign folder, and could adopt almost any of them to any setting or period. One rule is no d20. I don't own any of the books, and don't want them. I'd be interested in exploring HERO a little more in depth, either as part of a hard-science SF game or for fantasy.

A couple of things I ask of my players.

1. Keep commitments. If we have a scheduled session, and someone flakes, it impacts everyone.
2. Be about the character. I'd rather have someone playing a flawed character who is interesting than yet another combat machine.
3. Be active. I use plot cards and love it when players help fill out the nooks and crannies in my worlds.
4. Be understanding. We're all adults, and most of the people who I think will be interested in this have jobs. If I or another player get slammed at work and are a little under prepared for the game, show mercy.

Games will run on Sundays. That is my one guaranteed day off a week. I would like to start noonish to give 5-8 hours of gaming time and allow a reasonable time for people to get home.

If you are interested in a game starting in the next few months (depending on what people want) please fill out the poll. Remember, this is for a face-to-face game either at my home or some central location.

I don't know yet if I can get Sundays free, but I filled out the answers anyway -- hope you don't mind. Also, for me the actual genre isn't as important as being in a well-thought-out game with good, committed players who understand teamwork and a GM who's willing to challenge us without needing to hammer us flat. Hope that makes sense?
