I live in: Hampshire, England

How I got started in this crazy hobby:

Back in 1980 I saw an article in the Sunday Express Magazine (Don't blame me, I can't help it if my parents are Mr & Mrs Conventional.) about this "new" & "groovy" (Well, thats how we talked at the time. Well, we did in MY neighbourhood when we were pretending we were someone cool like 'Starsky & Hutch'. Oh, the innocence of it all!) game from America called Dungeons & Dragons. I kept going on about this so much that my parents caved in and I got one Basic D&D boxed set for Christmas.

Well, in semi chronological order (In other words, it starts with D&D and ends with Deadlands. You may want to skip over the rest.)
D&D
Tunnels and Trolls
AD&D
Fighting Fantasy
Warhammer Fantasy Battles
Call of Cthulhu
Paranoia
Bloodbowl
Spacemaster
Shadowrun
Cyberpunk
Heroes Unlimited
Battle Tech
Rune Quest
Macho Women With Guns (And one of the supplements, Batwinged Bimbos From Hell)
Warhammer FRP
Traveller 2300
Twilight 2000
Vampire
Werewolf
Mage
Changeling
Necromunda
Epic 40K
Gorkamorka
DC Heroes
Traveller
Deadlands

I'm sure there's more, but I'm buggered if I can remember.

Easy, Deadlands and Call of Cthulhu

What, apart from the usual Sci-Fi and Fantasy? Well, I read (Ray Bradbury, Julian May & Lovecraft amongst countless others.) I listen to music almost constantly ranging from little known bands like Pink Floyd to such super nova megastars as Baader Meinhoff and The Auteurs. (...and Norman Greenbaum is a genius) My final non-rpg vice is the little known sport of Rugby League. Unfortunately, due to my employment-exile down to this sun drenched hole (Can't stand the sun. It is evil, I tell you!), it's an addiction that struggles to be fed.

I like people I've never met before giving me large sums of money. Unfortunately they then expect me to leave.
