OOC: Table Talk 1

Hello everyone and welcome!

First off, introductions are in order. My name is Shane and I will be your DM for what I hope will be a very fun game. I am 44 years old, married, with two kids (ages 9 and 8). I am an Air Force weather forecaster and currently stationed on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. Aside from RPGs, some of my interests include: cycling, reading Children's literature, playing guitar and ukulele, camping, hiking and body boarding.

I started playing RPGs in 1984 and have been involved with the hobby on-and-off since then. I have played many different games and genres, but D&D type games have always been my favorite. The very first game I played was 1st edition AD&D and it left a huge impression on me. I have played or DM'd every version of D&D (and several variants) and tend to prefer more rules-lite versions of the game, as I am not really that interested in mechanics, character builds and that sort of thing. What draws me in is storytelling, not really the rules.

Most of my gaming experience is as a DM. My DMing experience runs the gamut, from traditional around the table, real-time text-based chat games, play-by-email, play-by-post and online voice/video games (e.g., Roll20, Skype, etc). I started doing play-by-post in 2009, when I met Bill (Tancred), who was in my first PbP game and then Argent (Rob) joined shortly thereafter. I have run and completed several games since then and pledge that barring some unforeseen life-changing event, I will run and complete this adventure as well. There will be no sudden disappearing DM sort of thing with me. :)

I currently run two other games here on RPoL. One is a Castles and Crusades game (basically a d20 version of 1st edition) that has been going for about 2 years and another "one-shot" Basic D&D game that is near completion. This Legacy of the Crystal Shard game will be the only other game I plan on running as I do not want to overextend myself :)

At any rate, please feel free to introduce yourself and share what you feel comfortable sharing. Lastly, I look forward to gaming with each of you and working together to create a fun, compelling game we are able to look back fondly on.

:)

Shane
