[QUOTE="Magi_Siani, post: 3745306, member: 34597"] I began Roleplaying in '74 with the original D&D game, back when Elves and Dwarves were classes, not just races. It was a way to put aside a very ugly period in life during my time with the Marines, at first. I found the Red Dragon Inn on AOL at the dawning of the 90s and became a WizO early in '01. I've been involved in online gaming for a long time, as player and moderator. But I have always loved Sword & Sorcery; Fritz Lieber's Fafyrd & the Grey Mouser, Kurt Wagner's Kane, Robert E Howard's Conan, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom, all of them were things I loved to read. In addition, even before D&D I played Chainmail and other miniature games, and had found the Society for Creative Anachronism, within which I still play and participate in armored combat. I also helped found a LARP called the Realms, which still exists albeit in altered form these days. I did it for a love of the genre, and for playing in worlds of the imagination with other people, generally creating a story larger than any individual participant. And it is still a nifty place to put aside everyday life. So I've been involved in many aspects of it, from tabletop to LARP to free-form. Wild ride. I still play when I can, though age and responsibilities give me less time than I once had. But the memories are dear. Siani, who is off to Harper's Retreat this weekend. [/QUOTE]
