This forum is where you can chat, bring up OOC comments, goof off, and so on.

One thing we do in adventures I DM in introduce ourselves as people, not characters.

So I'll start off.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

My name is Mike (big surprise there, right?), and I am 38.  I've been playing and DMing D&D and other games since 1983.  I no longer game at the tabletop much, since most of my old playing frieds have moved away and I don't really have the time to gather a new face-to-face group.

I enjoy gaming (duh), comics, The Simpsons, and writing.  I teach at a community college and write and edit for a living.

I have a wife and 10 year old daughter, both of who are also fans of fantasy.

I have a dog that is driving me nuts and a cat that is mellow.  (Thank god...)

I'm looking forward to gaming with you all!

Next?

My name is Eric, 30. I am an engineer in public works in France. That is the reason why you have not seen me much yet as I was following some formation about airports.

I've practiced RPG for fifteen years and tried nearly all the existing games. But DD still stays a favourite. I still practice face-to-face game every week and also LARP games (medieval and vampire).

Hey all! My name's Filipe , I'm 21 and live in Portugal.

I may be the newbie around here, since I just play D&D for about a year, but have all the theory in my mind, I just lack the experience =) I've been a fan of fantasy since I am able to read, so it's a long time now.
I study Computer's Science at the Oporto University and like to do the usual stuff; gaming (PC and Tabletop), web-surfing, reading (comics and "real books") and cinema, which is my real passion =)

I hope I can match your standards and to not disapoint you...

Hi all.  I go by Dr Obvious, but I don't give out my real name.  I've been burnt doing that once, and now I'm paranoid.  Sorry.

I live in Western Pennsylvania, USA.  I just graduated in the spring with a degree in Software Engineering from a small school you never heard of, and am going to Case Western Reserve for grad school starting in the spring semester.

I started RPGing when I was 12, and I'm 23 now, so I'm just about at the decade point.  I started out power gaming with AD&D 2nd, got out of it for a while, got back in by playin a very un-vampire Vampire game (<sarcasm>not a single player had makeup on!</sarcasm>).  Since then, I've run Mage game that lasted a year, and really gotten into Mutants and Masterminds.

Almost all my characters on RPOL are named Andy or Andi, so if you run into one, it may be me.  I post as Dr Obvious on the Atomic Think Tank (official Mutants and Masterminds boards), and posted as the same on the WW Mage forum for a couple of years, until the mods started banning everyone with a wit of intelegence.

Isn't Dr. Obvious the name of a Spider-Man villain?

If by Western PA (I live on the other side of the Keystone state) you mean near Pittsburgh, you've got a TON of gamers out there.  Must be something in the water.

I played in a fun Mage game with my last face-to-face group.  It was a blast, but time just got away from us and it sort of fizzled.

Good to have you all here!

Next?...

I live about an hour or so north of Pittsburgh (Beaver Falls, if it means any thing).  To far out to find all these gamer.  I've heard there where alot, but never ran into them myself.

Have you ever seen a beaver fall?  Not a pretty sight.  (sorry)

Yes, I've heard of it.  There used to be a group that was in very tight with the RPGA out there called "The Circle of Swords".  I assume they are still around.  I can give you the name of the guy who used to run that group (he also used to be the PA/Ohio regional coordinator for the RPGA, too) if you'd like it.  PM me if so.

Could you open the char sheets so we can import the sheets from the other forum? It will be much easier for the game.

FROM DM: Working on it.  It's coming up on my "RPoL List of Things to Do."  I will try for this weekend.
