[QUOTE="H.M.Gimlord, post: 5389757, member: 79440"] First, let me share the information about me that is already available to the general public: 1. My name is not H.M.Gimlord 2. My username when I communicate in e-mail is terrusie 3. I'm 37 years old 4. I live in the Cincinnati, Ohio area in the US. What's unpublished is that I'm an Engineer, married with two children. I was born in Germany to a missionary family and grew up in suburban Washington D.C. in my mother's home town. My hobbies are D&D, Singing, Guitar, choral music, and History. My favorite authors are Twain (his essays, not his books) and Hugo, though I'm a huge fan of Tolkien and C.S.Lewis (not just the CoN). I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of Terry Brooks, but I've read most of the Shanarrah series. I share THB's lack of tolerance for alcohol, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying a good Guinnes or a glass of riesling every now and then. I've been playing D&D ever since 1981. 1E Baby! (Yes, I was eight years old). I played Keep on the Borderlands when it was new! This was a bit scandalous given my father's occupation, and the opinion of some in that day and age that D&D was some satanic game, no? The players who've either read my profile, played in "Land Ho" or read my ancient and neglected blog now know that H.M.Gimlord stands for Hankel Mast Gimlord. The name is a corruption of Hendel from TSoS and Gimli from LoTR. Mast just sounded right when it was stuck between the two. The character is actually a Dwarf Fighter that I rolled up for 2E when I was in college. Mikara Li Mesadh was created by my wife (my girlfriend at the time) during my college days as well, when I introduced her to the game. She's not exactly a fanatic, but at least she's empathetic. I created the whole Avenroc campaign setting back then, played it out with some my wife and some college friends for about three or four encounters, then hung it up and forgot about it (and D&D in general), until 2008, when my 8-year-old son turned to me and said, "Daddy, what's Dungeons & Dragons?" The fire was lit once more! We bought the core rule set, dusted off Avenroc, converted it to 4E and the rest was history. I converted our unfinished basement into a huge D&D man-cave where I'm currently hosting a tabletop game for my son and some of his friends every other Thursday night. And now his younger brother is showing an interest as well. I've also become a super art & Photoshop junkie lurker on the RPGMapShare and Dundjinni websites. TMI? [/QUOTE]
