Hey everyone, I'm Jose. Jae (Jay) is fine too.
I'm 23, live in Canada, will be starting my Msc. in Psych in the Fall. I've been listening to RPPR for maybe 2 years now? It all blurs together. I get to use headphones during my part time so RPPR is one of the podcasts that stays in rotation, although I can't keep up with all the APs that get pumped out (I don't know how anyone does).
I started playing TTRPGS about the same time I started listening. I was always interested but didn't know how to even get started until a buddy mentioned that he used to play. He decided to run for a few sessions for us, we liked it and converted a few of our friends. It's since become a bit of a rotating GM-ship between him and I, and soon one of our players will be becoming a GM as well. I'll play anything, but I mostly GM "Dirty Hippy Games", like *World games, and Fate. My buddy runs 3.5 DnD, Classic Deadlands and the like.
Hope to become part of the conversation. Game Designer's Workshop series is the one the particularly lit a fire under my butt, and getting involved here seemed like a good place to start.
