Player presentation

[X-Endier & KoH/GdN (Joe)]

I'm joe, 34 yrs, from USA.  I write database code and ui code for database front-ends.  I'm married.  I starting playing D&D with the "red box" back in the mid 1980's, and moved onto AD&D, 2nd ed, 3.0, 3.5, and sadly, pretty much abandoned the game with 4.0 (my entire tabletop group quit all at once within a month of 4.0)

I played some Birthright PBEM's back when it first came out, when i was in school (think 1997-1998).  There were a lot of them back then. 

[X-DM Jon]

I heard all of your missed me.

Those at factcheck.org, in keeping with the American Presidential season, I have them to compile a list of the misconceptions about me.

1.  Your dead.

Not quite.  Cancer, it turns out, is only a CR 14 critter (unlike Eidolons & the Eyeless One).  I am quite alive -- a little banged up -- but still my awesome chipper self.

2.  You've been spending time at the strip clubs, sipping cognac  and partaking of an widely illegal herb.

I wish that were the case.  Life has been a bit traumatic -- with a lot of upheaval.  As a side note, life, for once, oddly acted like RoE (NEW PLAYER HINT FOLLOWS)-- kicking you while your down (and if one is smart, never stopping).

But, I am scrappy and stood up.

3. I didn't miss yall.

Sadly no.  Definitely missed all of you -- and finally pleased that my life is getting back in order.


4.  We didn't miss you.

Yeah, right.

5. Jon owes you money.

I would like small bills (all under $50) with non-sequential serial numbers.  I do not accept personal checks.

 Looks like Harvey forgot about the dough! I knew the silent plan would work! Thanks Robert, your example inspired me 

[X-EOM/SS (Marco)]

Hi,

I'm Marco from Milan, Italy.

I'm nearly 30, married with a son.

I've played RPGs since 1993 but I haven't played BR-games for years.

[X-Tuornen/LF (Geir)]

So, as many players stay very IC here, a good thing btw, I now wonder; How many girls/women (real life!) do we have as players in this game? And do they play Lords or Ladies?

I play a lady some years my senior. And I consider myself very much to be a male....

[X-Haelyn's Aegis/RK (Andy)]

I've only played in one BR PbeM besides my own...it was several years ago, but I can't quite recall the name of the game or who was DM...Chris something maybe? I played the IHH for a few turns...I think some of you guys were in it...Alan, did you play Regien or some such? Can't recall. Lasted only a few turns though, but it was kind nice while it lasted.

http://www.birthright.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-2892.html - "Embers of the Empire. I think it was run by Fearless Leader."  RoE gets praise from all quarters bar one...  Fearless Leader is Chris Linebarger, he also ran Heirs of the Fallen Empire I - IV.

[DM B]

That's right - Embers of Empire! I was kind of fun actually...only the Ilien and Roesone players kept getting replaced...and the DM wouldn't play NPCs, so that left me hanging in the void...

[X-Tornilen/SM (Alexander)]

Alexander here, I'm a 26 years and live in Denmark, currently studying to become a 4th to 9th grade school teacher in math and english.

I've participated in a few birthright pbems and have been playing roleplaying games since I was 14 years old - I anticipate I'll keep playing for the rest of my life.

Happy to meet you all and I look forward to playing with you people

[DM B]

Jon, are you reading this? Another Dane? You trying to take over the game? 

[X-Mhoired (Dan)]

Nice to meet you, Alex! I look forward to things getting underway, I'm sure that you and I will have much to discuss! 

[X-Endier & KoH/GdN (Joe)]

Jon, are you reading this? Another Dane? You trying to take over the game? 

Maybe people from the country with the longest continuous line of Royal Succession feel attached to a game about bloodlines and kings.

[X-Tornilen/SM (Alexander)]

True, our royals have shown remarkable ability to keep themselves in one piece and ensure the survival of the line... however little good that does us in modern times

I always did like Birthright though, so maybe you're right

Thanks for the welcome Dan, I think we'll get the chance to chat

[X-Elinie/RiD (Niels)]

Hello

I'm Niels, from... *drumroll* Denmark"

I've been looking for a chance to play Birthright since the game originally came out. I think I have two boxed sets from way back then, never got a group up and running though.

Alexander, whom I know IRL, pointed me to this PBEM, which is a first for me, but so far it seems a very good medium to represent letters and missives being sent around.

I have absolutely no clue on what happens once you go on an adventure, but I look forward to it all the same.

I'm 30 and work as a product manager in a danish sub of an international financial services corporation. The idea of shuffling money around appeals to me. 

Cheers!

[X-Ilien & PCE/GeM (Linde)]

Necro for the win! (Just got around to read the threads from before I joined.)

Hi,
My name is Hartwig Linde.

I am 30 years old and live in Copenhagen with my wife.

I have been playing tabletop rpg for the last 15 years or so, and have been an active member of Pfantasy Dome (a RPG & boardgame club) in Lyngby for the last 11 years.

If you ask me I spend just the right amount of time on my hobby. But if you ask my wife she will say I spend far to much time on it.

I am playing Ilien... Some of you might even have noticed that by now

When I am forced to spend time away from my games and my wife, I spend it in a store called Netto where I am the assistant manager.

[X-OIT (Garth)]

Hello players.

My name is Garth Flygare.  I am currently a 32-year-old painter in New Mexico, and I will soon be a 33-year-old law student in another state.  Either way, I reiside in the United States of America.

I will be assuming the role of CARDINAL NARVELON DIEM-AVAN, ruling over the ORTHODOX IMPERIAL TEMPLE OF HAELYN.

May the Book of Laws help me in my efforts, and MAY HAELYN'S WILL BE DONE.
