Yes it's time for me to get started. I have half assed doing things half assed my life since the accident. So, it's time to get bizzy... So let's get down and get funky with what we want to look at: I've always been a gamer. A media flunky. What do I have to say? Well let's get started with a bit of my history. The province' I have is (qualifications) after high school, I went to university and that was in 1977. Found a bulletin board and it had a listing called 'Wargaming'. Some would say that I went to the dark side... My first 'game' was Dungeon's and Dragons (Volume 1 -the tan box set) having just reading Trilogy, and the Hobbit. I was hooked. I had always loved drawing and painting. It didn't take long to go to find miniatures. (a local game store-algs) my first were knights (3 in 25mm) sadly I had no inkling of how to paint them i.e. enamel [Testors] crap I didn't even prime them, that's how noobie I was.
I was fortunate enough to have a good game master who was nice enough that taught me the fine points of DMing . So after a week long session, {seriously} we only stopped for food, bathroom breaks, and showers and more Pizza 130 hrs later he gave me his tan books. Last time I saw him he was going into the Army.
I kept the books, then I had gotten burned out on D&D and got into Traveller a SF RPG.
A friend and went to a Con in Cincinnati and then historic war gaming was the new bite. Found a group called 'Buzzkriegers' . Goodbye RPG's.
