Heard good stuff about you all on DnD message board and thought I'd check you out. Also there was a link to download one of the playtest games at DnD Experience and I couldn't download it without registering. (I am somewhat of a lurker mostly) I love DnD and gaming in general. I play sorcerers, rogues, fighters, and wizards. My screen id comes from the fact that I have a wealth of "obscure info" from history and politics to movies, comics, and other pop culture. I am a total geek. I read comic books for the stories and I watch too much TV and movies than is healthy for me. A couple of warning about me- I think I am smart. Many times I think I am smarter than you. It doesn't matter who "you" are, I still think I am smarter. Even when the evidence clearly points out that this is not true, I still secretly think it. So if I come off as condescending, that is probably why. Sorry. I am working on that.I think I am funny. I have a great sense of humor and enjoy wordplay and jokes, even at my expense. I can't tell a joke to save my life, but my friends still think I am funny. I guess it is the way I look at things and the things I say. But I will most likely laugh at your jokes or at you, whichever is funnier. (see what I mean?)You know that thing that stops you from saying things you probably shouldn't say? I don't have one. Or mine is defective or something. (too bad I didn't keep the receipt) So if I say something insulting, I will usually take it back right away if it wasn't funny. (unless I really meant it)Growing up I wanted to be Alex P Keaton. He was the coolest guy I knew until John Cusack came along. John's quirky personality and offbeat charm (no matter what character he played) is exactly the sort of thing I try to emulate in my own life. (results vary)Oh, and I talk a lot. It may have something to do with the fact that as a middle child, I had to fight for every scrap of attention and so I am reluctant to "yield the floor". It is like I am on my own personal fillibuster, at times. Or it may have to do with my psychological fear of being misunderstood. So I will keep talking until I feel like you understand me. Or it may be because I have so much to say on a certain subject that I will try to get it all out before the topic changes. Who knows? But I do talk a lot.I guess that is it.My signature is from the comic strip Boondocks. One of the characters is explaining how Marvel totally stole many of its ideas for the storyline "God Loves, Man Kills" from the civil rights movement to Huey Freeman, the central character of the strip. Huey responds,"It is nice to know that I am not the only one with a wealth of worthless knowledge." Oh, and I am still searching for that 4E adventure download. Can someone help?</blockquote>
