Role-Playing Games Stuff

I’m a gamer geek, and I’m proud of it.

I played my first role-playing game when I was nine, and was instantly hooked. In the almost thirty years since then, I’ve played many different systems, including every version of Dungeons & Dragons, most Palladium system games, Shadowrun, Paranoia, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. No matter what I played, though, I always came back to good ol’ Dungeons & Dragons. That all changed, however, when the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game was released. I can’t describe how excited I am by an update of the Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition rules, instead of the completely unnecessary rewrite and dumbing-down of 4th Edition. Farewell D&D, I’m afraid we’ve grown too far apart to have any chance to reconcile this relationship.

I’ve also GMed most of these systems. My personal favourite campaigns have been Dragonlance: Age of Mortals, Planescape, and Robotech (and hey, who doesn’t like a campaign where you get to stomp around in 50-foot tall walking engines of mass destruction and blow shit up?).

Currently, I’m between games. If you’re in the Hamilton area and have an open spot at your table, feel free to give me a shout.

And if you’re reading this and seriously considering sending me a message about how role-playing games are evil and how by playing them I’m promising my immortal soul to Satan, please go ahead and do so. I love having emails to mock on the home page.

Anyways, use the “RPG Stuff” menu on the left to navigate through the various role-playing-related articles.
