Introductions

Hey all, I don't know about any of you but I'm seeing a lot of unfamiliar faces out there and thought the forums would be a good place to introduce ourselves.

I'm Spenser (aka Disquisition to some) of Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies, a D&D 3.5/Pathfinder game blog. I've done a bit of personal blogging but I'm new to the game blogging scene (blogging since August, lurking for a few months before that), and I've been playing/DMing for almost 10 years (which probably still makes me a newcomer compared to some of you) and been a compulsive homebrewer/tinkerer for about as long.

Anyway, feel free to stop by and say a few words about yourself!

Thanks for starting this thread, Spenser! I agree, the more I get to know the gaming community (or any part of it) the more I realize I don't know nearly as many people as I should!

I'm Jess Hartley of One Geek to Another, a geek-focused etiquette and advice column. One Geek isn't exclusively game-focused, but we do handle a lot of game topics. Recently we did one episode on how to deal with a cheating DM, and another on how to handle someone pressuring you to take an IC relationship to OOC.

I'm also a professional writer/editor/developer who has done some work in th... and the occasional guest-host on Pulp Gamer's Out of Character podcast.

I'm really enjoying the site so far, and looking forward to meeting more of you as things progress!

Permalink Reply by Questing GM on October 24, 2009 at 1:05pm: Great thread. I was feeling the same thing about seeing some faces that I recognized and some that I don't. I'm not sure who are readers and bloggers, to be honest.

I'm the Questing GM and I run my blog at questinggm.blogspot.com. I'm a gamer from Borneo on the east side of Malaysia (check your map to see where I'm at). I started playing since the late days of AD&D, moved on to 3.x and now have a group that plays 4th edition.

In fact, I've got an Eberron game coming up tomorrow where I get to be a player for once.; ▶ Reply to This

Some know me, some do not. For those who know me, hello again. For those who do not, I am Richard Iorio of Rogue Games. Rogue Games is a small press game company co-owned by myself and longtime friend, James Maliszewski. We publish Colonial Gothic, Thousand Suns, and soon Shadow, Sword & Spell.

I am a long time freelance writer and designer, but now everything I do, I do through Rogue Games. I've been playing these wonderful games since 1982, and I feel ancient.

Looking forward to taking part in this, and hoping to help build this into a community.; ▶ Reply to This
