Hi, my online handle is Rhona, but my IRL name is Steve. I am 44 years old, CIS Male, and I live in Portsmouth, UK.
I have been roleplaying since the mid-90s, in a variety of systems, as well as freeform text roleplays.
I used to do a lot of in-person tabletop RPGs, but as time has moved on, people moved away, and other obligations came up.
I miss it though, and I really want to get back into tabletop RPGs in person, rather than just playing online. Especially for the social aspect.
I am primarily interested in sci-fi RPGs, and not really D&D or fantasy as much, but I will consider them if they are more story, roleplay, plot and world-building focused, rather than centered around stats, number crunching, dungeon hacks, or silly comedy. Though, the same goes for my interest in RPGs in general; I prefer story, character interaction, plot, immersion and adventure to numbers, rules, and stats.
I have a fair bit of experience GMing, but only with a handful of systems. I would be more interested in playing and picking up new systems too.
Any group I play with would also have to be very LGBTQIA friendly, non-racist and generally tolerant, understanding, open, friendly, casual and good-natured.
I am a bit shy about meeting strangers for roleplaying games, as I have always previously played with friends, and GM'ed for people I know, so this is new to me.
I do not have my own transport, so rely on public transport to get to any gaming.
