General Discussion / For what it's worth...

« on: June 10, 2007, 07:52:00 pm »

To those who may have noticed, to those who may care. I've decided to pull almost completely out of this world. Wilwarin will be around here and there, maybe and I'll keep abreast of things on the forum, but I've made the decision that investing time into a character that will be gone in a couple of months is just not worth the time, especially when character progress is so very slow in the first place.  The NWN engine is a crippled old man trying to run a marathon and I don't blame those who have sustained this place for all this time for wanting to find a better set of legs. It is hard for me to make this decision, I am attached to the community here -- community is always the first thing I look for when I game, it's why I stayed active in  a text MUD for years after it made any sense. I'm hoping to see most of you again when Layo the game is born. Till then, keep the faith, try not to laugh too hard at that little old man in his running shorts. Peace out, Redhawk/Coyote Red

Introduce Yourself / Insert Clever Lable Here

Well..

I enjoy being thought of as .. whatever you've tagged me as, but I'm feeling the peer pressure, so I'll offer up at least a glimpse.

My real name is Josh, born the same year as Aeonblues. Yeah, freaky.  I'm a happily married 34 year old father of two kids (5 and 2 -- it's my son the two year old who falls asleep laying on top of me every night as I'm dancing across Layo).  I've been playing D&D since the days of piles of funny colored dice.  In college, I switched from D&D to Vampires the Masquerade. I ran a campaign that spanned the better part of my junior and senior years and some of the post graduate years. College was also my introduction to text based MUD's and MMPORGS, an obsession that lead me to Layo.  For several years, I played the text based predecessor to WoW -- Gemstone.  I am the obsessed type who would pay $1000 for a computer to play a text based MUD.

I majored in English and write really bad short stories and poetry.  Besides Layo, you can find me with my family in the woods hiking and camping or on a bicycle -- I completed my first century (100 mile in one day ride) the year my daughter was born and I'm a dedicated cycle commuter.  You have to be a bit insane to ride your bike to work in New England.  I work currently as a telephone company line retention specialist, but I'm working my way towards becoming  a full time Unitarian Universalist minister.  

So there's a glimpse and don't ask for pictures. Every time a camera points in my direction, it shatters into a thousand pieces.
