I am Bill, AKA [http://forum.rpg.net/member.php?find=lastposter&t=342020 king_kaboom]. A long time resident of Reno, Nevada, currently living in Klamath Falls, Oregon and obsessive game enthusiast. I've been playing role-playing games since around 1992 and running games for most of that period. Additionally I have undergraduate degrees in art history and sociology, and I finished my master's degree in counseling and education psychology in 2008. All together I'm an over-educated kid who never intends to grow up. I was a former moderator for the [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Reno_Roleplayers/ Reno Roleplayers Yahoo Group] as well.

I am currently without a game or a group to play with. Klamath Falls does have players, but they are fewer and more insular than is accommodating. Additionally, I am very picky about who I play with and how I play. I run games with a focus on the players and I prefer to play in games run in a similar style. I have absolutely no tolerance for railroading, pixel-bitching, frustrated writers forcing their stories down my throat, or referees that either cannot or will not clearly define what their game is to be about. Essentially I want to know what your game will focus on and how it will be fun before I even start writing up a character, or I won't play. I want to be able to take a left turn that scraps a week's worth of your work without you batting an eye, or I won't play. I want to pursue my character's agenda over any plot hook you might be dangling in front of the group, or I won't play. These are tough criteria and I know it, but to quote the RPG.net mantra, ''"no role-playing is better than bad role-playing"''. Feel free to contact me if you would be interested in discussing games or playing some time.
