Burning Xiaolin? Any Staten Island gamers out there?

[AndyAction]

Lookin' to start a low-fantasy BW game at my place in Westerleigh, S.I.
Newbies preferred, it'll be my first time GMing.
any takers?

I'm right over the Goethals in Jersey. Where's Westerleigh?

[AndyAction]

sorry for the delayed response - I've been studio-bound with some grill-wise forked in for a few weeks..!

Westerleigh is nearer to the Verrazano, but I'm from NJ originally - it's less than 20 mins to the Goethals from my place. I've also got a car and I'd be willing to travel.

what type/style of game are you interested in? I'm generally into running gritty low-fantasy games (Fritz Leiber with a Little LeGuin) with a Tolkien via Lovecraft backdrop. you?

know any other players in your area looking for a game?

let me know your thoughts..!

Wow, yeah, that's pretty much exactly the game I'd wanna play!

Unfortunately I don't know any other gamers in my area. I'm trying to convert some friends, but one moved to Pennsylvania, his brother lives in Brooklyn and doesn't have a car, and the rest of my friends take my lunch money and dunk my head in a toilet whenever I mention role playing :evil: :P

Also, Judd got me amped over on RPGNet with this post:

Inspirations: Rome and Black Company and Martin and Lankhmar and The Wire

System: Burning Wheel

Pitch: Fuck this high fantasy epic shit. You are bastards with daggers in a tremendous city that doesn't give a fuck about you and it is going to take barrels of spilled blood to stake out your piece of it.

The city will be built through Circles tests. 3 lifepaths. Get burning.

Sounds right up our alley, eh?

Omar, that sounds awesome - exactly what I'm into! I can't wait for The Wire Season 4 in Sept!
We recently got HBO on Demand and I barely leave the house.
Let's get together at some point and talk shop - what're you up to tonight?

Hi five Andy! Actually I'm busy tonight, but I'm free from tommorow to next weekend. BTW, I took the name Omar after Omar Little of the Wire. A broad-daylight-shotgun-toting gay man who robs drug dealers for a living. That's just awesome.

Pat.

[AndyAction]

Omar, duh on your nickname...! awesome choice!
Next weekend sounds possible - I'll scchedule my rehearsals around your availability.
What's best for you?

Hey Andy, Saturday'll be best for me, like late afternoon/early evening (traffic is usually pretty bad on the S.I.E then, at least till Todt Hill, but I'll deal :) ) Since I have your number now, I'll call you say, Thursday? To firm up our plans and get directions. Look forward to meeting you and bullshitting about BW!

As long as all that's OK with you, of course. PM me if you have any questions, problems, etc.

Pat.

[AndyAction]
