I want…

Looking for GM or Group.

A long fantasy adventure in the North: snow, mountains, and ancient mysteries.
It can be Icewind Dale, as long as it's before ToT (like in the two video games), but it can also be any of the settings of your own making. I don't want a low-effort setting based on any modern mainstream (Skyrim, Witcher, Genshin, etc).

I would be primarily interested in these systems: PF1e, AD&D 2e, and Fabula Ultima.
Other systems may be acceptable (Godbound, Fate, and such), but ask first.
I am absolutely not interested in PF2e or D&D5e.

I aim to provide a character written in deep psychological realism, and I like to deconstruct typical tropes. I will not be satisfied with a "you all meet in a tavern" scenario unless that itself is a deconstruction. I'd like to play a lesbian elf or such, and I want to integrate my character into the setting and my story into the system. When it comes to female characters, I prefer such characters to be treated as persons to protect rather than a prize to be won, and I expect the GM to know the difference between the two.

You can respond in this thread or write a PM. I will see responses in the thread sooner.

I've been considering running a game, but I have been delaying diving into it for awhile, because I've been concerned about lack of players and figuring out what system I'd run and so on. I am shaky on navigating my way through how the site works so I'm not sure I could manage a game forum very well on top of managing a game.

I don't know entirely if I could run something that could satisfy you, I could include the winter season and a more Northern location, but that might get old if the rest of the group wanted to travel. I can avoid the tavern meet up likely, as well.

We can always try playing, though. I myself don't know all the features of GP that well yet.

I'm not ready to run anything quite yet, so perhaps you'll get another offer, and system-wise I'm not sure I really want to run a Pathfinder 1e campaign. It might be for the better in terms of accessibility, than some of the other systems I was thinking of running.

I have a campaign that would be right up your alley I think, but I also am not quite in a position to begin a new game atm.
