[QUOTE="Sir Elton, post: 3414549, member: 14486"] He-Man drove me to Fantasy gaming! My favorite all time episodes of He-Man was penned by a Dungeons and Dragons veteran. "The Taking of Castle Greyskull," "The Dragon's Gift," "Granamyr Returns," and the "House of Shokoti" episodes were my favorites. Around the same time, I was reading the promotional comics for Dungeons and Dragons and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The promotional mini-comics had two memorable characters: a conan type fighter and a spellcaster. About the same time my maternal grandmother "bequeathed" me [i]The World's Last Mysteries[/i], my paternal (step) grandmother gave me the Dungeons and Dragons Mentzer Red Box, and it exploded from there. I also happened to be a big Star Wars fan. I'm at the top of my game now as a Gamemaster, even though my game is overloaded with NPCs at the moment (I still haven't been able to use to the Yaun-ti after I introduced them!) Using Atlantis as a game world is a real treat; though. It's a place that makes a great setting for fantasy gaming. Or in my case, Sword and Science. Having become a nudist also allowed me to fully come out of my shell (I really think Modesty as used these days is a seven letter cuss word for shyness, part of the establishment uses it to keep everyone's clothes on; then the other part of the establishment exploits it while comdemning nudity at the same time [i.e. have you ever noticed that a movie containing sexual situations is usually rated PG-13 and sometimes R; but a movie containing non-sexual nudity is often rated X or NC-17?]). I'm a really sociable guy now compared to when I started Dungeons and Dragons. As a nudist D&Der, I can explore a scantily clad society without shame or titilation. I also write, and I'm working on a [i]thing[/i] for Dreamscarred Press. I have contributed to the Setting Search, and unlike Keith, I didn't believe that I'd win and I also held back. In the process, I'm writing a setting bible (another [i]thing[/i]) and I'm not holding back this time. The bible is primarily going to be used for published adventures for d20 Modern and d20 Fantasy (and consequently, BESM d20), and not a published setting. I'm sick and tired of the feat and prestige class bloat and I want to work purely in adventures with a distinctive setting. Atlantis is also a niche setting. :) [/QUOTE]
