Introduction

I've been in the Portland area for about a year now and have been looking for a group to game with and socialize. I have not played D&D in earnest in about 20 years, and have attempted other game systems with no great luck. The release of 4E relit

Tell everyone about YOUR current (or ideal) game.

I'd be either playing or DMing a big campaign with plenty of traps, intrigue, double crosses and specific combats like assassinations, sniper missions, bounty hunts, etc. There would be a lot of story and dialogue.

What is your favorite class in any system? Why?

I tend to lean towards goody two-shoes like Clerics and Paladins. Fighters are fun but they tend to fall into the slash and stab column I try to avoid. I played a cleric during the D&D day and really dug the new 4E magic system. No more 4HP 1-spell magic users.

What balance do you like to see in your game towards RP and Combat? 50-50? 70-30?

I'll split the difference and say 60-40. Combat is fun if it takes all of your skill and a big party makes it interesting. I tend to like the RP cause I like to spin yarns as a DM and play the politics and diplomacy game. I'll always try to find a way around combat since it is usually more engaging.

How many players do you prefer in your group?

I like the variety and chaos that comes from 5-6 PCs in a party. 5-6 is more fun. 3-4 tends to be a little more serious, from my experience.

How long have you been gaming?

D&D has been a good while ago with regularity and effort. Once upon a time I would spend plenty of time writing adventures and creating maps and campaigns. I have also tried my hand with MTG, Settlers of Cataan, a variety of on-line PC and console multiplayers (though no WOW)over the last 20 years.
