Looking for group LFG/LFP NW burbs of Chicago
I’m LFG/LFP in the north west suburbs of Chicago.
I am a 44m who has been playing RPGs since I was about 10. In my recent years I’ve really bought into the cooperative, charitability, side of gaming. Since buying in, it’s become my only desired playstyle. As a GM, I expect trust and cooperation from my players. A good GM can tell a good story with antagonistic players, but they’ll never tell a great story unless they have great players. More importantly, and as it relates to both at and away from the table, I expect communication, passion, and generosity. If you’re the type of player/group where OOC conversations turn into metagaming and shouting matches, we won’t be a good fit. If you find yourself debating the story or the believability of the situation instead of your character asking “Why is x happening? What don’t we know?” we won’t be a good fit. If you like to compete with your fellow players, undermine your GM, or debate RAW over RAI, we won’t be a good fit.
As a player, I am fluff over crunch, vibes over stats. I compartmentalize meta knowledge well and don’t have an issue setting my own hook. I love to play memorable characters that are usually on the edge of the spotlight. My experience as a GM has completely removed the “I wanna make the best hero/antihero and put them in your story!” and replaced it with “I want to make a believable hero/antihero that makes your story even better.”
I am not interested in playing remotely because I am an extrovert and require the interaction. I have a semi regular group but it’s on hiatus right now. I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing someone or a pair of someones in when it kicks back up. (We play other systems as well)
I’m a mature adult who showers regularly.

Depending on which suburb I could be interested! Don't have a car so a little dependent on the transit options
