Ath-kethin
Elder Thing
24 years here! I feel like a newbie in this crowd.
My first D&D character was a Thri-kreen psionicist/ranger in a Dark Sun campaign. He had a thing for eating elves, his "appearance" line on the character sheet read "ugly as hell," and the primary combat tactic of that group was my thri-kreen picking up and throwing the halfling into battle. I do not remember any other characters from that campaign.
I have been the DM of virtually every other D&D game I have ever played. I love the game with a passion I can't fully describe, and I love the fact that after all these years I am finally able (as in I have both the time and means simultaneously) to write for it and make a little bit of money doing so. I have even made enough money doing so that my tax preparer says I can write off RPG purchases as business expenses. I have a 4 year old kid who loves the Hobbit and has an imagination I cannot believe.
Truly, this is a glorious time to be alive.
