Alpha

This blag is about all the things I find enjoyable in life.

That includes RPGs, so I guess this blag is about that. That's not to say there won't be posts about other subjects from time to time, but I think that I'm confident enough to say that this blag is about RPGs. Luckily I'm also starting up a new fantasy campaign (with LotFP rules, I guess) soon, so I guess there'll be some kind of post-game analysis things done here.

I both play and GM, but mostly I've GM'd games. That's not to say I'm good at it, but I also have never heard anyone complain so I guess I'm okay. Right now I'm running a SR campaign (although it's been on hold over summer), I'm playing in a homebrew game where we're Interpol agents trying to keep the supernatural away from public knowledge -- it's very much Conspiracy X minus the aliens and nowhere near as paranoid and... oh yeah, the fantasy campaign. I'll keep quiet about that for now, because I need to collect my thoughts on it a wee bit before I commit, but I'm stoked about it.

Apart from RPGs I play riichi mahjong, computer games, board games and I've even been known to dabble in card and miniature games. I also do code. An unkind person would call me a nerd or geek, but I disagree with that because even with this nerd pride movement that's been going on since Hollywood started their comics crusade, the word "nerd" (or "geek" for that matter) is pretty much negative, and it carries with it implications that are untrue of me. Like, I actually have a decent hygiene, I'm not overweight or terribly underweight, I don't particularly fancy anime schoolgirls (that's not to say I dislike all anime), nor do I engage in hot debates about Star Wars (I can barely quote them) or Star Trek (again, the only quote I remember is "This IS sex!" because... well, see for yourselves:

So yeah. There's more to me than that obviously, but this isn't OkCupid or any of the other dating sites, so I think I'll stop for now.

I also like long walks on the beach*
