I first began my time with ISRP in December of 2000, first with Kasivis Amdrithan (the first name of which came from my character on Ultima Online), then Beltram Genzeld, and then Andion Isurand.
I had first started playing D&D that fall, and was browsing the Wizard's website over Christmas break when I found ISRP. That winter, I also started buying into the 3rd edition manuals to use with my gaming group. Since then, when I wasn't with them (or dealing with real life issues), I spent my time reading D&D novels or in the chat rooms.
Recently however, I got sucked away by World of Warcraft for a couple years and I'm trying to ween myself off of it (at least until they make the new lvl 80 expansion). The past few months I've been getting back into D&D, but haven't visited the chat rooms as often as I used to before WoW. But I do plan on checking back more often to find something I get involved in.
