While the title should say it all, the purpose of this item is to
introduce yourself and tell us what aspects of role playing you're
interested in, favorite games / disliked games and the reasons for
those preferences. I'll start with a new response.

Hi, as you have probably guessed by now, my name is Bjorn Arnesen. At
the time of this response I am 24 years old and a Swordplebe 1st Class
in The Ring of Steel. I have been playing role playing games since I
was (I think) 8. My favorite games include the Dark Sun setting for
Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2E, Diomin, Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition,
the Planescape setting for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2E, Rolemaster
1st Edition, Sailor Moon, and Star Wars (WEG or WotC). The reason for
my likes are basically that I have played or GMed these games and liked
them, or in the case of Sailor Moon I am a fan of the TV show. The
only games I can say that I have a definate distaste for are White
Wolf's "Storyteller" series. The reasons are: those damned dots, the
sense that your character can do nothing about that impending doom
inherent to the World of Darkness series.
I have been acting off and on during the past 10 years. FARCo at
Commie High was great. I wish I had never stopped taking it. Now I
feel weird if I act without a weapon in my hand(s).
Oddly, I have collected cards for CCGs but I have only played one -
once. That was Spellfire and I got my ass kicked.

Hi, I'm Anne. Play mostly White Wolf games these days (specifically
Mage) and AD&D 3E. Ack... more later.

Hi, I'm Jim Trigg, frequently known as Blaise (which is my SCA name). I've
been role-playing since 1980, starting with The Fantasy Trip and AD&D. I
haven't gamed for a while due to lack of time, but my favorite system is
GURPS. I especially dislike Cthulhu-type settings (including some but not
all World of Darkness) where the player characters basically have no hope of
affecting the greater campaign -- they're going to either die or become NPCs.
(The exception for the World of Darkness is Mage; also, I had hopes for
Changeling [I think it was], and never had a chance to play it to see whether
it would be decent.)

I can understand the grip about WoD being, umm, Dark in regards to
Vampire and Werewolf, but not towards Mage. I adore Mage, this is why
I'm in 3 (4?) games (and one 3Ed AD&D).
Overall I really like the versatility of Mage- what you can and cannot
do. And I like the dots...
(Hey Bjorn. :) )
