Well met,
My name is LordAnki. I have been playing D&D for 2 years I think now going on three soon. Some of you who have read the stories over at www.farlandworld.com (Farland's custom campaign setting) that have been written by me Jordan H. I would love to hear from you about the stories and I hope to just have some fun on these forums.

Hail and Well-Met Fellow Gamesters; ,...though i've been a member of this community for quite some time, for various and sundry (redundant; perhaps, but i'm a fellow of many words, once ya gets to know me,...or sometimes even if ya don't), i never could find the "right time" or the words i quite wanted to say. Until now,... I was first introduced to Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons the summer before my Freshman year in college in 1979 (that dates me; i know, but who cares,...*smirks*). I've since played off and on, again, for almost three decades, and since that time have seen oodles of changes to the way the game's played, as well as re-visionings of materials achronistic (i miss the Avenger and Defender paladin variant classes and have never quite understood why a paladin always had to be of Lawful Good alignment,...) As i seldom play in tournement games i pretty much "borrow" what i want; and that i feel will fit my various campaign's and my players' needs and leave go the rest. Nowdays; though, i don't actually get much of an opportunity to play in any tabletop games. My most recent gaming experience has mostly been by way of PC computer rpg's, like Neverwinter Nights. Oh, yeah, and i serve as a Global Moderator and writer for a freeform pbm roleplaying website entitled Legacy Forums, formerly the Legend of Mythus, on MSN Groups (http://s13.invisionfree.com/Legacy_Forums, for any interested parties,...)
Anyways, i degress, which i suppose i often do, being as i have ADD and tend to be easily distracted *chuckles* What first drew me to join this website were the game journals written by Dr. Midnight,...always a great read; i think; and i've always wanted to write "Doc" and tell him so, personal-like. Just never seemed to get around tuit (regional gaff, i expect) Anyways, since reading the very first session; which i don't even think was the first Doc had written; just the first i'd read, i was smitten ( and more than a bit envious of those fortuitous enough to have been able to participate in Dr. Midnight's tabletop campaign). But even if i were as affluent as R. A. Salvatore, a weekly flight out of Oklahoma City or Dallas to Massacusetts(?; i believe that's where he'd said he'd resided,...)and back, again would have proven EXTREMELY expensive and time-consuming, so i guess i have to live vicariously though the campaign's written journals; like the rest of youse mugs (and you KNOW who you are,...)

PS: Rock on Doc,...! If you're ever on Yahoo IM, ya might give me a shout (alaric_shadowalker_of_greyhawk)

Hi, I'm an actor based in New York City. I got into D&D back in the early '80's when I was a kid and played up through Jr. High until I discovered girls and well, yeah, D&D had to go on the wayside sadly. I continued on in life through college and grad school only dabbling from time to time but never fully getting back into it. Until last year when I went on a Shakespeare tour and during a paraphrasing exercise, where we had to substitute other words for Shakespeare's writing, the word knight came up. So one of my fellow actors called out "Paladin" and another actor shortly after said "Fighter", so I threw in "10th Level Ranger" And all three of us laughed as the rest of the acting company looked on with confusion. I then realized there were other closet D&D'ers amongst me. The three of us talked about our past experiences playing and agreed it had been sometime since any of us had thrown any dice on a table. But we were all willing to give it a go, after all we had a year to figure it out again. We all then pitched in and split the books and quickly started updating ourselves on all the changes. Since I had the most experience I filled the GM position and started creating the world to play in. To make a long story short, it turned out to be an incredible experience. By the end of the tour our party of three grew to seven fellow actors and everyone was sad when our one year of playing had ended. But I vowed to continue it one way or another. Now that I've discovered this website I'm digging for information to start an online campaign reuniting all my closet D&D'ers/actor friends which are now far and away from me. If anyone can fill me in that would be awesome, I'm very new to the whole online RPG thing and old school table playing is all I've ever known. Thanks-Robard
Well then - a bit about myself I suppose.
Let's see here - started playing AD&D when I was about 12 with me pops. on and off again I guess for the last 28 years and we just started up a new campaign. Actually found this place out through the creature catalog.
though I don't get to play as much as I want anymore, I like to see ideas and create story lines using what I find. A bit of mix and match if you will. That's about it.
