I started gaming in fourth grade (1981), and have enjoyed most of the incarnations of D&D since. I favor 3.5/Pathfinder rules, though also lean towards Steampunk and Planescape settings (or at least apply elements of those settings). I also enjoy the original Marvel RPG (TSR version), Shadowrun (2nd and 3rd; haven't tried 4th edition), and Star Trek (CODA rules). I paint miniatures (mostly Reaper and Privateer Press figures). I have a pretty extensive Warmachine collection, though I don't play the game, just enjoy the figures (mostly Cygnar and Merc factions, but I have a fair sized Khador and Trollblood set, too. I've been involved in online gaming from the start (Yserbius and AOL Neverwinter - CW Dirge/MECH Dirge), but dropped out about a decade ago. I'm not overly interested in online gaming, but I might be interested in a virtual table-top set up with the right group and I enjoy the creative writing aspect (message boards) that fell out of style as online games became more graphical.
