Introduction

I am an original Old Fogey of the rpg world, having started in 1976 with the 3 little 8"x5.5" DnD books. I was active Con GM in N. California. I've run TORG and HERO in the past. Currently play testing my house system: MUTT (more info on the wiki)

What genre do you like and dislike to play?

I like most genres, but I cannot get into fatalistic genres like Call of Cthulhu or overly goth (liek most White Wolf.) I also dislike form over substance. My favorite game manuals are rulebooks, not attempts at coffee table art.

What Role-Playing systems do you prefer to play or avoid?

I loathe D20. About all its good for is tabletop simulation of videogames. I like HERO as a design system but find it too hard to run. I like the TORG system for its runnability and have my own meld of the two I call MUTT. ("My Universal Torg-like Thing")

What kind of books or magazines do you like or dislike?

When I have time I enjoy serious sci fi, preferably with either a social commentary or serious speculative element. (Most of what people today think of as 'sci fi" is "science fantasy" or 'space opera" in my book.)

What TV Shows/Movies do you like or dislike?

Doctor Who (old and new), House. Most BBC comedy and sci fi. My favorite movies of all time are The Stuntman and The Godfather

What kind of Role-Player do you consider yourself to be?

As a player, primarily an actor/deep immersion player.
