Message: <blockquote data-quote="Simia Saturnalia" data-source="post: 3666949" data-attributes="member: 53692">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. <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=";)" /> 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!</blockquote>
