Hey, my name is Matt, and I live in the Chicago area. I've played D&D off and on since 2003ish, so I have a decent amount of experience with 3.5. I play Pathfinder now, mainly because it's easily available and my mother gave away all my 3rd edition books when I moved out. (It's ok, I wasn't using them and they went to a good home.) I also play a lot of board games,
take pictures and draw maps of places that don't exist. That last hobby is largely why I got into RPG's, and why I almost always DM.
