A guy in his late '40s living in the "pretty, great state" of Utah.
To answer the immediate questions asked anyone who admits to living in Utah:
- Yes I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
- No I don't have more than one wife. One is quite enough.
- I don't have 9 kids either. Just 2 actually.
My primary hobby since about age 10 has been tabletop role-playing games, and I have participated in my current weekly game group (most often as the Game Master) for around 25 years. Favorites include Traveller, Dungeons & Dragons, and Legend of the Five Rings, though I am familiar with many others.
You might find my contributions on these and other RPG pages throughout the wiki, and I've created five or six pages for RPGs that didn't have one yet. They do say "write what you know".
My favorite board games are Twilight Imperium (the 3rd edition especially) and Axis & Allies. I used to play the now-defunct Legend of the Five Rings CCG as well, though I stopped collecting it years before it was phased out by FFG.
I am also a big fan of Star Trek, Star Wars, and the original Doctor Who, along with various other fantasy and sci-fi oriented works. Anime is probably my biggest "genre blind spot". I generally find it too stylized and formulaic to really enjoy.
As far as video games go, I know much more about the older DOS-era games than I do about current games, generally.
The Lord of the Rings and it's related works are favorite books. Anyone who reads many of my forum posts can probably tell this.
I also hold an English degree and am fluent in Dutch.
I used to make some political posts on the forums, but eventually decided that my (generally conservative) perspective was not really wanted, so I've stuck to less serious topics since.
That should be enough to get started.
