Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bupp" data-source="post: 8561837" data-attributes="member: 6784990">TL;DR - I just had wrist surgery and am on drugs. I rambled.49, Pittsburgh native that is currently trying to leave again. Besides a stint in Germany with the Army, I've lived in Ohio, New Mexico, and South Carolina. In 1983, I got a new neighbor who had a red box...My first couple years were spent as a player, though we usually played one shots. Ran a couple AD&D campaigns through high school, including a group of 8 players that made their way through the Temple of Elemental Evil.While in the Army, I switched to 2e and discovered player-focused sandboxes, and haven't looked back. Ran in Greyhawk all through this time, and ran several long games in that time.After getting out of the Army, I struggled to find a new group, and didn't play for over a decade. Bought, read, and made characters for 3.0, 4e, and Pathfinder, though never got to play. I also started world building during this time, with several proto-worlds that became my World of Eska. At this time, my kids were old enough and interested in playing. I was kit-bashing together a fantasy heartbreaker pulling together Pathfinder, 13th Age, and several retro-clones when the Next playtest dropped. We don't play together anymore, but my 16 year old twin boys play in two campaigns with friends. Being 16, they only grunt in response to any questions, so I'm not sure how their games are going. My 21 year old daughter runs a game that I wish I could be a player at. It could be best described as an off the rails Twilight Saga set on the plane of Innistrad. They use Lego minifigs for minis, and she builds monsters and set pieces with Lego. We often bounce adventure and world buildings ideas off each other.I currently run a pseudo West Marches style game. Only 5 players, but use "character trees" where each player has (currently) two characters.</blockquote>
