Aristophanes' Opinion
"Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip."

Favorite Game System
Dungeons and Dragons
The Game You Wish More People Would Play
Lords of Creation published by Avalon Hill in the mid 80's during the RPG boon. Characters could travel in time and space which allowed for some amazing adventures. The rules where solid and they provided a really nice selection of foes for every genre.
Other Game Systems You Like
CyberPunk, Heroes Unlimited, Dark Matter (the original Alternity version), Twilight 2000, and Qin
How Did You Start Gaming
On a picnic table in the middle of a trailer park in the 6th grade. Turned out the person was just making up the rules for Dungeons and Dragons but still was hooked for life sort of like crack. Started DMing at 16 when I volunteered to run all the D&D events at the local Sci-Con convention.
Favorite Character
Holy Justice Vin who I believe was my subconscious attempt to sabotage the RGPA Living Cities campaign. Along with his pyromaniac Paladin friend they managed to flip a number of adventures around even forcing the regional directors of RPGA to arbitrate a few times. After being killed by a dragon even his ghost was put on a mock trial after a formal complaint from another gamer.
Favorite Campaign World or Game Setting
Greyhawk up till the From the Ashes boxed set. Nothing will ever be as closely connected to what I believe D&D should be as the original Greyhawk.
Non-RPG Interests
World of Warcraft (I play too much), Roman and near-eastern history, Conan comics, politics, and doing my best to be the bane of Tom's life.

Qin. It's new, it's hot. Buy it. Love it. Consume it. Play it. Who could manage to not love playing chinese feudal heros in the magical speudo-historical Chinese realm of Qin?!?

How Did You Start Gaming
My friend, Kelly, brought an adventure to my house and we played a game...well, he mostly made crap up, but that was enough for me to know I liked it!
Favorite Character
Duulan: You can read his origin here. You can read more about him here. In hsort, he's the epitome of those traits in myself that I'd rather suppress. It's just fun to play him.
Favorite Campaign World or Game Setting
Greyhawk. What? They put out another world?
Non-RPG Interests
Computers, debating esoteric crap, plotting to kill Bryan, martial arts, planning Bryan's humiliating demise (it's worth saying twice!).
