BOOKS I READ
Too many to name, since I am a HUGE Bookworm. Do get hooked on some that I read like a million times.

THINGS I DO OTHER THAN GAMING
Retired National Guard.

THINGS I LISTEN TO
Kids screaming & complaining? Not all the time, but sometimes it does feel that way. LOL

Classic Rock and Country these days. Hate it that I am old enough now to hear my music that I listened to in high school on the Oldies stations.

MOVIES AND SHOWS I WATCH
History Channel, SciFi Channel (SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Ghost Hunters), Food Network (Especially Diners, Drive-Ins, & Dives)

STATE OR REGION
Tennessee

PLAYING STYLE
Storyteller

MINIATURE WAR GAMES
The only one I was ever interested in was Classic BattleTech.

COMPUTER / CONSOLE GAMES
Neverwinter Nights 2

BOARD GAMES
Does Candyland with the kids count?

LIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYING GAMES
Hate them. I feel I am in a LARP, but my Player does a lousy job with my character.

ROLE PLAYING GAMES
D&D since 1984, Star Wars Saga Edition, Buck Rogers XXVc (Which I work off & on to convert to SWSE), used to be an BattleTech nut.

My campaign I am about to start running will be D&D 3.5e/Pathfinder RPG.

MMOs
None, prefer to sit around a table with actual friends while I pretend to be an elf.

CARD GAMES
NONE!!!!

BEER
No

THINGS I DISLIKE
Blanket statements about anybody. This is especially true about stereotypes. I also hate players who over-optimize a PC to the point of being a total munchkin. Players that think they have a build that is untouchable & then cry when the DM (me, lol) lays "The Smackdown" on them with a simple attack.

Also that 4e is trying to force a DM to use a minis map.

Another thought: I absolutely HATE being a DM to players that think the most fun they can have is to be totally disruptive. Wanting to be an evil character in a good campaign. Stealing from party members just to be doing it. Generally thinking that everybody else has as much fun as them when they tear apart a party. To me, D&D is NOT about playing evil characters. It IS about saving the Princess & slaying the dragon. Generally speaking, being the Hero.

MY PREFERRED GAMING STORE
Amazon.com, RPGNow.com

THINGS I LIKE
Supporting our troops. Good Sci Fi. Good Fantasy. COMPUTERS!!!. Linux (Mainly PcLinuxOS). A good book that excites my imagination. Good artwork in RPG manuals.

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME
I'm a Republican. I voted & my party lost. I am disappointed, but not mad. That is democracy in action & what I, as an American Military man have sworn to defend. I wish Obama the best of luck in his term in the White House. Just dont get comfy, you may not be there next election, lol.

Just picked up Traveler 2300. An okay read but the book is so old that the dust in the book makes it so that I can't breath.

XXVc had a pretty good rules system for the day. Handled every class with their own skill set. Was a little complicated in some ways, but it worked for the most part.

 

I'll have to look for a copy of the game. Sounds like my own system, but not 6-sided based. It'll probably give me some good ideas here and there.

Buck Rogers XXVc? That was a well written series of games. Not sure about the rules, but the narrative was some good stuff.

No problem!!

Forgive me for being hoplessly behind in replying. Thanx for the welcome. I play mainly D&D, getting ready to start a 4e campaign in the near future. I also am interested in Star Wars Saga Edition, which I have been trying to use as a base system to convert the old Buck Rogers XXVc game to.

 

Very cool. If you get some time, you might want to bounce some of your ideas off Nine_Hands. He's a huge Star Wars fan, as well as one of the best GM's and players I've ever met.
