I've been in games with many of you or seen you around for years. We're mostly nice folks.  So, let's uh, let's start over here, because this IS a tight community. And I, for one, don't want to see a newcomer get a bad impression of us, nor we of him.  (Too late? No, not if we decide it isn't. And I've decided it isn't.) Let's take a moment to step back, let go of our righteous wrath, take some deep breaths and welcome a new player into the fold. *in* *out* *in* *out* Better? Hope so. Howdy, KD. I'm Sparky. I was a player mostly until 4th Edition came along and made a money-where-my-mouth-is DM outta me. I've been playing D&D for, sheesh, over 20 years now. Wow. Where does the time go? When I discovered PbP, it was the first role-playing I'd done in years. Mostly because I was out of touch with folks who had the time or wherewithall to run a tabletop game. And I wasn't gonna. I was anxious about the pace of a face-to-face game and my not-encyclopedic knowledge of 3.x, so I didn't play.  ENTER: PbP. D&D at my pace. I could check a thread or two, compose some posts and then go on about my day. I eventually got up the nerve to run a game and started a couple, but didn't get very far with those early efforts and was still pretty intimidated to run a 3.x game. Though, at this point I was TOTALLY hooked on PbP as a medium for running games. I'm a shy role-player in face-to-face settings. So PbP is really perfect for me. I can sink my teeth into a role and I don't have an audience sitting across from me with... with those eyes... all those eyes... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Nope, it's just me an the stuff of imagination rendered through text. I dig it. And I hope you will too. Welcome to <s>the boards</s> PbP (since I now note your start date KD).</blockquote>
