hi this is jorts. i'm new here  not sure what else to say -- looking forward to meeting you guys 

[jorts]

i'm now overthinking the lack of detail i put in this post, so here's some facts about me:
 - i only just realised that i'm very very mildly allergic to peanuts
 - i've been playing a lot of tears of the kingdom recently
 - big into space + astronomy
 - i love GM-ing for ttrpgs but don't get to play that often
 - i make really good grilled cheese

as i said my pseudonym here is jorts, but you can also call me jay or j, or whatever nickname you desire. i go by predominantly she/her.

i listen to a pretty wide array of music and i'm always looking for new songs/artists, so let me know your favourites :-)

i'm from australia, but my sleep schedule is questionable enough that i'll probably line up with the northern hemisphere most days.

if you have any questions for me or would like to chat then feel free -- i'll try to respond when i can

hi and welcome! very interested in hearing about how you realized you had a sensitivity for peanuts xD

Hi Jorts! I'd love to hear about which TTRPGs you've played!

hi and welcome! very interested in hearing about how you realized you had a sensitivity for peanuts xD

i was talking to my friends and brought up how weird it is that peanut butter is spicy... turns out it's not spicy.  i'm not very allergic + it doesn't really affect my breathing or anything so it's just a weird thing about me, nothing i really need to worry about 

also that image is the exact inspiration behind my username haha

Hi Jorts! I'd love to hear about which TTRPGs you've played! 

hey!! played a lot of d&d of course, tried to move away from it after the whole OGL thing.

was really close to starting a game of lancer but dreaded Scheduling Issues prevented me. same thing happened with a 3.5e game :P. kind of similar but i do sometimes paint warhammer figures with my friends + i have recently started up a solo rpg called Miru

in short i have a lot of half-made homebrew games and abandoned parties :P maybe someday i'll gather together enough people again. my last d&d game ended really dramatically (in a bad way) as well, so the group is uhh... not quite recovered from that

i have recently started up a solo rpg called Miru

I've never heard of this one before! It looks really interesting. I've never played a solo game before, but I might have to consider it!

!! seems really cool so far, haven't really gotten that deep into it yet. i actually bought it like a year ago and forgot it was in my library :P i will update once i've played a bit more of it!!

it's got a solarpunk setting as well which i think is awesome.. haven't seen a lot of other games like that and it's awesome to see. do you play any ttrpgs by the way? 

[serenefork]

do you play any ttrpgs by the way?

I play tons of TTRPGs! I've been playing them for 10 years now and grew up in a family where we all played TTRPGs, so I know a lot more than I actually play.

I've played D&D 5e, Pathfinder, Legend of the Five Rings, and Vampire: the Masquerade. While I haven't gotten to play it yet, I'm particularly excited about Ryuutama, and I'm planning to run it for my friends soon.

which one did you have the most fun with? looking through them i think the setting of Vampire: the Masquerade looks awesome, and the fact that the guy who made Legend of the Five Rings is legitimately named John Wick is hilarious and sick as hell. love that you linked the wiki pages  it lets me read into it a lot deeper

[serenefork]

which one did you have the most fun with?

I had the most fun with Vampire: the Masquerade since it's a much simpler system in my opinion. Legend of the Five Rings has a lot more to play around with though, but it's also more restrictive in what you can do with it.
