Greetings from a Wandering Bard

#1 Post by Wiglaf »

Greetings,

I started being a gamer with a small, probably illegal, photocopied version of the old Holmes set bound in an orange folder which I found in my local library nearly 20 years ago. Since then I have played games in nearly every edition, even 4th, and run games using 3.0/3.5 and 5th. I've played and run Pathfinder since the Beta. I've also dabbled in a few other systems like Space 1889, Star Frontiers, Metamorphosis Alpha, TORG, GURPS, and Eldritch. I'm currently primarily interested in the OSR, more specifically Swords and Wizardry WhiteBox, White Star, Low Fantasy Gaming, The Hero's Journey, and White Lies. My unicorn game would be playing Rappan Athuk or Tegel Manor using Riddle of Steel, Blade of the Iron Throne, or Song of Swords.

This forum was made known to me through an advertisement for a game on Dragonsfoot. I have played PBP games before, but not for a few years. I hope to ease myself back into the habit. I can usually post once per day, and try to write detailed posts from my character's perspective. If you need anything further feel free to ask.

Welcome Wiglaf!
Nice to have you here!
Be well,
—Ron—
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Welcome aboard, Wiglaf!
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.
