Greetings, All

[SeekerOfKnowledge]

To the folks providing and moderating these boards, thank you.

An introduction is a bit difficult for me, as I am a bit shy in forums like this. I am no stranger to boards of this nature, having been posting since the days of long distance charges and bulletin board servers...

My favorite games are Hero system games but, as with so many others, I cut my RPG teeth on AD&D, and still enjoy playing D&D, currently. My preference is for 3.5 however, and I have not tried Pathfinder -- yet.

Things I do outside of gaming (is there anything outside of gaming? LOL) are work, parent, computer game, and church. I suppose I should include plumbing, electrical work and various and sundry other projects associated with home ownership -- but most of those aren't voluntarily. ;-)

I call Dallas, Texas (USA of course) home, but have lived in, and have friends in, multiple states in the USA.

The only other other gaming board to which I currently belong is the City of Heroes, but I am not actively posting there; I am also a member of "watchuseek", but am not an active poster at all. Pretty much I'm a shy lurker...

I hope this new year finds everyone happy, healthy and successful!

I forgot to include that I have a large group of local friends and, in addition to role-playing, we also board game; I get to play things like Settlers of Catan on a weekly basis, we play cards, and then we play a bunch of uncommon games as well -- munchkin, Guillotine, Ingenious, Carcassonne, etc. -- to name a few.

Wow, for a shy somebody, you sure do give a great introduction!

I am incredibly nosy, so I will ask for more!
So, how old are your little ones? What do you work as? Do you play any video games or watch any hows or movies? Read anything cool?

I like Settlers of Catan, it just takes foreeeeever to play, haha! What is your favorite game? What sort of D&D characters do you or have you played? You may ignore me if you please, but I feel everyone should get a warm welcome!

Anyways, welcome to the boards!

Thanks... But I have to admit I read the template from this section and just answered the questions. 
Though I am very careful about what I post to the Internet... It has been my experience that anything posted here lasts forever. 

So, how old are your little ones?

I have a couple of teenagers and a younger one.

What do you work as?

I am an engineer

Do you play any video games or watch any hows or movies? Read anything cool?

Masters of Orion II, Ingenius, City of Heroes... Does solitaire count?  And some random games of Words with Friends.

I like Settlers of Catan, it just takes foreeeeever to play, haha!

It takes 1 - 2 hours, I think. However, the more people you add, the longer it takes. We have also added a few house rules that keep the game flowing quickly.

What is your favorite game?

Board game? I am not sure I have one -- it is kind of a flash of the moment thing. For role-playing games, superheroes -- with a nod to the Hero System.

What sort of D&D characters do you or have you played?

I prefer pre-Fourth Edition Arcane casters. 

You may ignore me if you please, but I feel everyone should get a warm welcome!

Anyways, welcome to the boards!

Thanks! I appreciate the welcome.
