Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hi, I'm new here so I thought I'd say a quick hello and introduce myself.
I'm an ageing (that's the English spelling btw) and greying (same again) game enthusiast. Most of my gaming/hobby time is spent on managing Warhammer projects, facebook groups and forums but I also still play quite a few pc and console wargames and rolepays (late at night while my good, long suffering, wife is all tucked up).
The PC games I'm currently spending a lot of time with are Company of Heroes, Oblivion (I promised myself I'd finish it before Skyrim!) and Battlefield 2 (which, I hink, is actually a better game than Battlefield 3 - when it comes to pure gameplay).
My favourite game of recent time must be Dragon Age which I played on the XBox a couple of years ago every day until I finished it. I really enjoyed that game and drank plenty of beer whle playing it which always adds to the fun in my alcoholic opinion :)
Anyway, it's good to be here and I look forward to getting to making some new gaming friends.

Also, I've technically been here awhile, but I only recently started posting and I never posted here, so hi everyone.

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
'Ey there, folks. My name's Snowkafka, and I've been lurking here on GITP for, eh, about four years now, and finally decided to make an account and get more involved. I look forward to making some new friends here. See you all around!

hello all
ive been reading oots for a few years now and decided to jump on board the pledge drive and the forums at the same time. good to be here

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
....and finally de-lurking after 4 years, after the Kickstarter made me decide I probably should join up
So hi there! The name is from the KS drive and the sheer amount of camping I did there. I've been gaming for just over 4 years now (which is how I got linked here initially) and I'm wondering why I didn't do this sooner.

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hi! So, the pledge drive ended and nowhere to go huh? Luckily you'll be here :smallsmile: I'm Marian from the pledge (semi-regular F5-camper) and I will love it if we talk more D&D, OotS, History and Math on this forum.
See y'all around!

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hi everyone!
Another long-time fan who registered due to the KS drive. I'm quite happy to be here! :smallbiggrin: I'll be mucking about no doubt; I won't make much of a mess, I promise.
This seems like a spiffy place indeed!

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
A big "Welcome to the Playground!" for Soulmaster, Dr. Demento, snowkafka, akeeyu, Sniper, Idriël, and Happy Me! Hope you have a great time here! :smallbiggrin:

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hey everyone. Just joined up after the crazy-awesome Kickstarter experience. On the monster comments thread over there I was known as BilliamG, so if there's anyone else who was a regular over there, I'd like to meet you on here!
Just started (and finished) reading the OOTS comic week before last, and I love it! Already spent too much on the Kickstarter, too. XD

Same here, I never even knew about Order of the Stick or Mr. Burlew's work until I seen the Kickstarter campaign through a friend. I'm a big fan of comics and look forward to reading Order of the Stick. It's awesome Mr. Burlew has such great fans that support his work. That Kickstarter campaign was super impressive! Hello everyone!
:smallsmile:

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Just a quick note to say hi. I've been a long time reader but after the showing on Kickstarter, felt compelled to get closer to the community. It appears to me that OOTS has the best following of any webcomic. Definitely glad to be here.
-
Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
hey all
I've been a long time reader since I found this awesome webcomic some years ago and got stuck and happy for every update posted.
The ks drive was really a great experience, thanks all

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hello everyone! I'm also a long time reader, the Kickstarter was a good occasion to finally register to the forum :smile:
-
Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Another new member here. I've been meaning to register for a while, but I hadn't mustered up the courage until today. :smalleek:
That said, I'm looking forward to exploring this forum and meeting all of its colorful inhabitants.

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hi to everyone,
The kickstarter-insanity and my increased following of the board inspired me to register myself. I read the comic since ca. strip 100, but only started to browse the board like one year ago. Maybe now is the time to become an active member of the community.
As you can see by my profile, i am in my late 20s, live currently in Hamburg and therefore am not a native english speaker - please excuse possible misspelling or misused expressions and colloquialisms for that reason.
I stopped playing D&D some years ago and switched to other systems - but OotS still reminds my of the glory of the Attack of Opportunity and Greater Cleavage (*snicker*)...

Yah halloo
Can't resist a nifty forum! Long time reader...
...and break enchantment won't work on petrification because flesh to stone is a 6th level non-dispellable effect.
Gah, been holding that in for a week!

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hello, all!
Long time reader, first time poster. OotS has been one of my favorite webcomics for years now, but the Kickstarter is what made me decide to become part of the community here.

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
:smalleek: Dang, Kickstarter brought in a bunch of people and the greeter squad has been neglecting its duties. *deep breath*
Hello, MaxMinMaxer, M-Flem-Jr, Groo, Nine, DarioD, Raithix, Kiran, Straybow, and Silcrist :biggrin: Welcome to the Playground; I'm glad to see so many new faces erm, profiles!

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hey folks, another Kickstarter F5 camper here :smallsmile: Figured I better join up in the forums so I can share my crayon drawing when the time comes... and hopefully I can keep in touch with some of my new friends from the comments section. *nostalgic sigh for the good old days in the comments section*

Only took 5 years
well it only took me 5 years of reading OOTS to register on the forums, but here I am. Hello world. OOTS gave me something to look forward to out in the desert.:smalltongue:

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hey! two young newcomers waiting for a BIG HUG?
Here I am! (hugs follows)... :smallsmile:

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Welcome to MaxMinMaxer, M-Flem-Jr, Groo, Nine, DarioD, Raithix, Kiran, Straybow, Silcrist, SarahV, Homebrewdude, Soulmaster and any others that have joined as a result of the KickStarter project. Whether as longtime readers who never posted or brand new fresh meat - Welcome to the family! Your chores are waiting.:smallwink:
And SarahV if you were the same Sarah Vee who posted on Publishers Weekly thanks.

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Hey folks! I figured I'd best make my first contribution (of negligible value) here in the board helpfully linked by a floating box. Courteous things, those boxes. I'm less familiar with D&D than with White Wolf's Old World of Darkness systems, which, as my siggie shamelessly spews, I run. Most of the proper dungeoncrawling experience I've had has been with one really awesome DM, who's nice enough to let me go "oh crap, that was bad" and re-roll things. Be gentle!! :smallbiggrin:
-
Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Of course we will be gentle! Welcome! :smallwink:

Re: Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9
Why thanks! :smallbiggrin: Neglected to mention it, if it's not obvious enough, but I go by Loki, as opposed to the handful of names I carry around.
