Another lurker emerges
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,...)
Yours, With Warmest Regards, Reginaldus Ethelrede, Knight Commander of the Knights of Veluna, Defender of the Flanaess, aka. , Falconetti Sebastiani, aka., Michael "Mitch" W. Clarke
PS: Rock on Doc,...! If you're ever on Yahoo IM, ya might give me a shout (alaric_shadowalker_of_greyhawk)
