Well thought I would introduce myself.
My name is Tom, won't bother with the last name cause my first name is easier to remember and pronounce. Anyhow, I am nearly 40, well I will be 40 this year, and I have been rping for nearly 30 years.
The stories that introduced me to fantasy was The Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia, I was hooked from there and have been reading fantasy novels since. I started rping with D&D when a few friends introduced me to it. I still remeber Thorin Tumblebelly my first dwarven warrior and his mishap of tripping and falling into a lava pit. I still have my second character ever rped though...a druid by the name of Qausar. Anyhow, I ventured into other arenas of rp such as GammaWorld, Bushido, Star Frontiers, Star Wars,Marvel, and multiple Palladium type games but have always gone back to D & D.
I was introduced to Layonara 2.5 years agao by a couple of co-workers and have been hooked since. This is the dismay of many friends though that still try and get me to go back to PnP, but after dming for so many years I truly enjoy rping my characters and interacting with a world of others that enjoy it as well.
I work for a national payroll comapny that calls for much of my time, actually I give alot of my time as I am working to attain my own branch but what I can spare I try and devote to Layo.
Leanthar and team, thank you to all your hard work and imagination.
