I'm a n00b again!?
« on: January 11, 2012, 03:25:16 AM »
Looks like it...

In real life I have the totally made up name of Dean Smith (I don't like basketball) and I own Dragon Snack Games in Mount Morris, New York (in the USofA).  That pretty much precludes "non-gaming hobbies", although you can usually find me online at WBER.org from 7-9 pm EST (currently) masquerading as DJ UNO (if you're unlucky enough to be in Rochester, NY you can also tune me in at 90.5fm).  Some WNY indy wrestling fans may remember me as "Victor E, the referee", but that was a few years back before I opened the store...

I loved me some GURPS, but the rest of my group hated it - so I haven't played it since the 20th century.  I loved me some Babylon 5 CCG and I had a KILLER Human deck before the second edition destroyed my thing of beauty - and therefor haven't played it since.  I loved me some 3.x (house ruled 3.0) and grudgingly updated to 3.5x (still with house rules) - and haven't played since 4E broke up that gaming group...

I'm currently in a few Savage Worlds games (a couple of homebrews, one Hellfrost-based, with a Totems of the Dead campaign about to start up) and I play in D&D Encounters (and spam my best attacks) so we can make sanctioning.  I also play Magic now and then, along with a few board games (not many people will play Axis and Allies with me, but they will play Ticket To Ride).

TRIVIA: I've done playtesting for Reaper Miniatures (I was also on their Black Lightning demo team for 6+ years) and Triple Ace Games Wonderland No More. 

BONUS TRIVIA: I was with the BGs when 4E was officially announced...

I'm also Dragon Snack at Wizards.com, ENWorld.org, RPG.net, Reapermini.com, the Nifty message boards, and probably a few more...
