[QUOTE="LurkMonkey, post: 5306823, member: 68949"] Although a long-term gamer, I didn't realize until fairly recently (Late 2007ish) just how vibrant the online Pen and Paper community was. Although I had kept buying D&D materials out of nostalgia and a hope of eventually playing (There aren't a lot of resources in my area), I descended into the MMORPGsphere for most of the past decade: First Everquest, then WoW. When the announcement came out about [I]Dragon[/I] and [I]Dungeon[/I] becoming online instead of dead tree, I was at a point where I was very tired of the MMORPG scene and the constant demands of online guildmates for assistance (anyone who has risen to the higher character levels can sympathize I am sure). I went online to find out what was going on, and got involved in several sites, mainly Paizo. In 2008 I signed up here, but I was nervous, because of the then-raging Edition War, and since I was a fan of Pathfinder, I guess I didn't want to get involved in any contentious arguments (there was enough of that crap going on on my 'home' board of Paizo.com that I didn't want to inadvertantly get involved). I figured since I would be reading and not contributing, 'Lurkmonkey' was a good fit. That and I use 'monkey' in many of my online aliases. Lately I have been swinging over here more and more. But LurkMonkey I shall stay =) [/QUOTE]
