Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sidereal Knight" data-source="post: 1038118" data-attributes="member: 9985">I'm a white male, 31 years old (born on Friday, August 13th).  I have lived all my life in Indiana, and currently work as a web developer and computer programmer for the Indianapolis public library.  It's a great job... I do what I enjoy while helping people.  (Now if I could just figure out how to play D&D at the same time...  <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=":)" /> ) I also do some freelance web site development, and volunteered my skills for some other non-profit organizations including the local racing greyhound rescue group.My partner and I will be celebrating our 7th anniversary this fall.  (I am openly gay, and am "out" in all facets of my life.) We don't have any kids, but we share living space with 4 cats and far too many books.  I introduced him to D&D a couple of years ago, and now he's getting ready to run his first game.I started playing D&D in 5th grade after being introduced to it by some cousins.  I've played most of the incarnations of D&D as well as Ars Magica, Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, and Vampire (during my angst-ridden college years).  Over the years I have also sampled everything from Toon and Paranoia to Gamma World, Top Secret, and Champions.I have been playing with my current gaming group for the last 8 years.  I'm not the DM, but I have been known to take a turn when our main DM needs a break.Beyond D&D, I enjoy reading SciFi and Fantasy literature, photography, going to movies, light hiking.I tend to be rather reserved until I get to know someone, and I tend to fall into the trap of over-compensating for this shyness with people I want to impress.I did attend GenCon this year, but I wasn't able to spend as much time there as I wanted.  I missed all of the ENworld get-togethers, but I probably would have ended up tongue-tied in the corner <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> However, I did get to play in a Mutants and Masterminds demo run by Steve Kenson himself!  (Great fellow, excellent GM, and very personable... He was kind enough to sign my book, and I'm the envy of all my friends <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> )As you can tell from my post count, I tend to be a lurker (see the note about my shyness above).  I never feel that I express myself well in print.Well, back to lurking...</blockquote>
