Hello, I'm Eric Tolle, from like, California. I decided to join this site because between D&D, Mutants and Masterminds, and True20, a fairly chunk of my current game collection is D20. And there's enough discussion of non-D&D stuff to keep my interest up.
I'm an old, long time gamer. I started with the little brown D&D books way back when, stayed with it through AD&D, got disgusted with it, played a bunch of other systems (primarily Champions back when it WAS Champions and WoD), and eventually got roped into an AD&D game that was pretty awful but fun. So when D&D 3rd popped up, I bought it, and d20 has been part of my repertoire ever since.
Other information: technically I'm a mix of a character actor and a power gamer (a pretty lousy min-maxer FWIW). I've bummed around rpg.net for quite a while, read far too many webcomics, and am as much of a hard SF fan as a fuzzy-headed BA in Anthropology can manage. I have relatively little patience for generic medieval fantasy.
And that's about it.

Hi all,
I first stumbled across this place when I was searching for info and comments about the cancelling of Dragon and Dungeon. I've been reading it as a guest since then, but I've now decided to take the plunge and sign up.
It was the polymorphed chicken/cannibalism thread that finally convinced me.

Hello!
I haven't joined in a DnD campagain for quite some time, like around a year and a half I guess? Anywho... if anyone's wondering where did my username come from, it s a character name from Star Ocean: The Second Story, which is my all-time favourite game.
So, if anyone wants to play with me, I will play in a few Eberron campagains.

You die.... [More]
Oh, wait. Sorry. This is introductions. Let me come in again.
Hi! Someone has my more typical user name here, so I went with the Roman variant - someone can fill in those of you educated in this century.
Anyhow, I've been doing this whole RPG thing since about '90, with TMNT and Other Strangeness, wandering into AD&D, RIFTS, L5R (1st and now 3rd, a favorite), WoD (really like the new stuff), CP2020, and most recently the One Roll Engine games. I dabbled in D&D 3e when it was new but I've spent a lot more time reading it than playing or running it, because the modular rules bits are a lot of fun to think about. Spent most of my time in the past few years at other RPG fora, but frankly I -like- the tenor of conversation here, and I think I like 3.5 more than I tell myself (not all of it, mind...they ruined Command!).
These days I'm playing Hugo, a wizard and counterspell specialist in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and it's really reminding me that D&D 3.x is a whole lot of a fun system to play with. I've lurked here a bit before, so I guess I've always thought about Blackdirge's monsters in the back of my head, wanting to play with the game that does them justice. I know the basic mechanics pretty well - I'm a fairly competent player but underskilled for a DM - but where better to learn them (when not at the table) than here? Partly because I want to convert Night Below to a 3.5 campaign, maybe even expand it to offer a 1-20 game (and a more storied campaign experience). I'll probably start a thread on it after the computer-less weekend.
More generally I'd like to think I'm polite, but I don't suffer fools gladly and sometimes think I'm funnier than I am.
Usually I'm hilarious, though. So laugh!

Hello
I am new here (duh), I enjoy playing RPG's, TCG'S and many other games. In Dnd, my favorite character is a specialist wizard in the enchantment school.

It works for an assault charge, sure, and it's probably a great "Summon Divorce Lawyer" spell if you tell him about it (and likely a focus for the "Full Custody" invocation, if applicable). Blood can be refrigerated to prevent spoiling, but it will separate and clot. And yes, yes it is.
That said, you're aware this is a D&D forum, right?
