Howdy, howdy, howdy
Hi! I'm posting this because EnWorld kept giving me a message that I had not posted anything yet, and led me to this thread.
I'm Ed. I'm 40 yrs. old, with a lovely wife and son, three lovely step-kids and 4 lovely step-grandkids (my wife is older than me.) I'm a puppeteer by trade, working in live performances, television, video and film. Probably the most "name recognizable" things I've worked on would be "Muppets From Space" and "Elmo in Grouchland", as well as performing on a Sesame Street special and on the Sesame Street Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade float for a couple of years. My user ID actually comes from the puppetry world. Bunraku is an 800+ year old form of Japanese puppetry. Search for Bunraku on YouTube, and you can see some great videos of it.
Gaming-wise, I started out in high school in the early 80's and really did a lot throughout college. I've played D&D in its various forms, HERO system, Palladium, Gamma World, Traveller, Shadowrun, GURPS, Villains and Vigilantes, Talislanta, Call of Cthulhu and bunch of "homebrew" systems. I don't game much these days due to my real life commitments, but I'm still very interested in it.
I attended GenCon last week, but missed the "big announcement." I'm not too keen on a 4th edition of D&D, but I will wait and see how it turns out. The best part about GenCon for me was that I got to take my 13 year old son. Not only his first GenCon, but his first con at all. He's already talking about going back next year.
I'm usually a lurker on most message boards, so I never post again, that'll be why.

Hello EN World. I decided to join EN World after some lurking. I'll probably lurk even more, I'm not much of an active poster usually

I've been playing D&D 3.5 for a few years, primarily playing my gnome rogue/illusionist. Basically she's me.. even though in real life I conform a bit more to the world than her. My DM has also talked me into DMing myself. I've had one session so far (in which I learned I still have a lot to learn), but just the world and plot building is inspiring.

.Hi, I'm Meems. It's nice to be here.
I started gaming probably a couple of years ago. I mostly play D&D 3.5, but I've played a little AD&D using my dad's old set. Currently I'm playing a bard in one campaign (my brother's), and I'm the DM in another campaign.
I live in the UK. I'm a teenager, home educated but starting collage in a year's time. I draw, write (I'm hoping to make a living as a novelist), play keyboards, sing, act and dance. I'm a big fan of fantasy and science fiction and enjoy japanese anime and manga.
I think that's about it.

Art of Charicters
HI
I am 10 months into my D&D adventure, and just started my second charicter (half Orc barbarian named Zee). As an artist, i was interested in drawing our party and wanted to look around for examples from other players, but I am having a hard time. Does anyone draw individual charicters? I'm not thinking grand paintings like D&D books or Wizards, but somethign more personal, sketch and watercolor, see the two atached I did this weekend of myself and one party member Rye.
I am also interested in trying a few drawings of other people's charicters to see how well that works for me too.
So if you are interested in a drawing test of your charcter, contact me. If you know of any sites that offer somthign like this aready or have examples of work, let me know.
My art is visible at WWW.sarahgayle.com I am serious about this and totaly loving the game!

Greetings. I am called Maloran. I have been playing D&D for several years, but I haven't participated in the online community since before 3.5 was released. Back in the day of 3.0, I wrote a fair bit of custom content and posted it in a few places. Most of it wasn't that good. I've been working on some projects lately which are substantially better (or at least, I think they are), and I thought I'd sign up here to have somewhere to share them and get feedback. I look forward to meeting any of you who are interested in discussing race and class variants; and particularly, rules variants.
