I'm a new "oldie"

#1 Post by ProfessorJones »

Hello everyone.

I've been involved with D&D since about 1977; though 1980 was the beginning of my true apprenticeship.

I've been hanging around various forums since 2007, after a lengthy sabbatical.

Heard about this place for a long time, and thought I'd pop in and see what its about.

Welcome Professor!
Hope you find a good game.
--Ron--
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Welcome Aboard!!

The ride never ends here. :D

and I'm not a new oldie at all! I'm actually just new, and sometimes I wonder if I am in fact the youngest person on this forum....
Life is a roller coaster, if you don't stop to enjoy it then you may as well not even ride.
