Gemstone was pretty much one of the original MMPORG's and totally text based. While their were plenty of MUD's (multi-user dungeons) Gemstone was one of the first online RPG that reached large (at the time) numbers. This was in the mid-90's, though, so "large" then would be laughable now. It still exists, actually, but I just don't have time for MMO's.
I haven't really tinkered around with two many other pen and paper RPG's. We played one that my friend made that was quite fun but keeping the group together was hard. I guess I'm mainly stuck with D&D because it's convenient. Not many of my friends game but those that do almost all have some D&D experience. Video games I've played a ton of RPG's and have been a fan since I was little kid.
The music that I'm working on now is sort of . . . a kind of noisy dark-wave and no-wave type thing. It's hard to explain because it really is a hodge-podge of a few different styles that I'm trying to find a synergy with. I play bass mostly, and sing . . . though I can work my way around a drum set well enough to get by for simple stuff.
As far as booze goes, that's rough. I work for two of the finer beer and alcohol bars in San Diego so I'm trying amazing stuff all the time . . . but my favorite *reasonable* whiskey is Michael Collins, my favorite more find-able beer is Delerium Tremens . . . wine, eh, perhaps I'm not sophisticated enough to be able to really discern good wines from bad wines, so I'll just drink whatever's not to expensive and doesn't look like total swill.
I could very well be down to game some time. I work an odd schedule that doesn't lend itself well to getting groups together and the days I can game I have a group that we try and get a game in with . . . but that doesn't mean I'm opposed, it's just sort of a pain in the ass to find time because I'm a late nighter compared to most people.
Anyhow, pleasure to meet you!
