My tabletop game is Dungeons & Dragons.

Naturally, I play other games that people and friends put on, whether at events, hobby meets, or at my regular table, but I like Dungeons & Dragons best as both a player and DM.

I began the hobby with BECMI (Mentzer) as a teenager after being gifted the "B" and "E" boxed sets (and have been working on completing the acronym in physical form in the intervening period). In Australia, where I reside, shipping can be prohibitive, so I tend to look at local charity shops and so forth. I possess the complete acronym in PDF however, and the size of the file - you may perhaps be interested in discovering - is merely 102.5 MB.

People tend not to restrict themselves to the splendid variety of tabletop RPGs currently available, and I can assuredly attest to the same position because I am also proficient in running BWFRPS. Incidentally, this is not a system for a combat-led adventure, however am currently playtesting various other approaches and modes in order to discover what the game is exemplar-best at doing. I am engaged in such an exercise because it is fun, and perhaps figuratively it is like the peeling back of onion layers, with each layer (adventure approach/mode etc) a new layer is discovered that is different from the one that was preceding.

Current involvements & commitments: Prepping, The Shattered Obelisk for my regular table. This just means for me that sweet period of reading the adventure book cover-to-cover several times or otherwise engaging with it by mapping out its latticework, so-to-speak. Converting, Castles & Crusades', The Golden Familiar to 5.5E for my regular table. Solo playing, Be Like A Crow. Also, playtesting Trench Crusade by Tuomas Pirinen. Reading, Seven Days of the Serpent God by Alex Kurowski, and also reading RR Verdi's, The First Binding.

Also, am eagerly anticipating the physical release of ACKS II to discover if what is being offered can be met. I hope it can because I think Game Designer Alexander Macris is excellent for the tabletop roleplaying game sphere. I hope I don't embarrass him when I refer to him as "master", but that's what seems to me to be the most apt description for a positive role model of learned knowledge about bespoke tabletop gaming.
