I'm from Seattle, but in Davis California for the next 4 to 6 years getting my PhD in Chemical Engineering. I've been playing since 2001. Half that time as a DM for a couple of different campaignish-like monstrosities and half of that in my good friend's Alternate Earth game (which completely rocked, by the way.) I was the player in that group that had the honorable title of "most dead characters." I think this was the case because (a) I like to tempt the fates and (b) they can't resist taking the bait. I've played:(1) A fascist gnome wizard that stuck his head into an Ankheg hole.(2) A wood-elf ranger/cleric of Heironeous that was disemboweled while trying to use wild empathy on a dire bear, became a death knight and a Cleric of Dis, who subsequently . . . discorporated.(3) A half-celestial gnome psion that lasted about two game sessions before he sacrificed himself by volunteering to help someone he hardly knew clear out a den of very powerful vampires.(4) A 5th to 15th level human psion named Vincennzo Capelli.(5) A dwarven cleric of Joramy, that survived another friend's mini-campaign only to be tossed into a volcano during the "wrap up" phase of the DM's epilogue.(6) An exceedingly lawful good maenad monk who was Pholtus' best groupie ever and was eventually torn to pieces by an undead frost giant creature.(7) A min-maxed goliath fighter with a spiked chain that was killed by the DM's experiment regarding what happens when he sends a CR 10 white dragon against an EL 7 party.(8) A druidic paladin (home brew class) named Red Rook the Tall who was sent incomprehensible visions by his god and was murdered in his sleep by his own party.(9) A human sorcerer named Black Bart the Daring who was played during the second half of the same game session during which Red Rook the Tall was murdered, and which turned out to be the last game session of a different friend's minor-campaign.So yeah, I'm excited to be playing a new character. I hope he lasts more than three posts.</blockquote>
