Re: OOC: Table Talk 1
Hello Everyone!
This thread has been super active today. I checked before leaving for work and there were only 2 posts total. I didn't have time then to make my introduction post, so I shall do so now. Better late than never, eh? :)
I'm Rob. Been gaming with Tancred / Bill for about 15 years (wow!) in online formats and with DM Shard / Shane for close to 10 (again, wow!). I'm 46 years old, retired army officer, husband and father of three boys (7, 5, and 3 years old). I still work for the army, just as a civilian these days, and as Bill already stated, I'm a numbers guy. But...I love creative writing and role playing games.
My DnD pedigree will now be complete since I started out with the Basic DnD Red Box set in the mid-80s and have owned and played 1st through 4th editions. I even ran my own 2nd / 3rd edition DnD campaign on RPOL for a number of years. I also like sci-fi RPGs like RIFTS, Robotech, and Savage Worlds.
Since I am absolutely new to 5th edition and will be using the downloaded basic rules set, I'm going to play a human fighter. I usually play dwarves with the occasional halfling thrown in for fun, usually clerics or rogues, but this time around I think I'll tank up and be the mainline melee combatant for our group. Someone else can do the healin' and the sneakin'.
Nice to meet you all and I look forward to our adventures :)
