Avid Role-Player since my early teenage years. My first game was the German RPG "Das Schwarze Auge" (english: The Dark Eye) and then MERS (english: MERP). Soon we moved on from MERP to RoleMaster which I have played ever since and now-a-days HARP.

Martin's "Song of Fire and Ice", but also enjoyed Dragonlance which I read a long time ago. Historical Fiction, pretty much anything written by Bernard Cornwell (Sharpe Series, Saxon Chronicles, Grail Quest, ....), C.S.S. Foresters Hornblower Series.

  • Thanks! Cambridge is considerably more convenient (I depend on the MBTA, gods help me), but I definitely look forward to DnD-networking. Or whatever it is when these sorts of things happen.

  • Howdy Christian,

    It's been a while since I have actively gamed, but I am definitely interested in setting something up with a serious, friendly, and fun group. Any suggestions?
