Hello everybody.

After a few years enjoying the comic strip and almost as much the forum I caught the occasion of the kickstarter package finally arriving and decided to more actively join the party.

A pleasure to greet you all.

Hello again, and hello to DeusVorpal and Blue Lantern!
I have now put my age in my profile. And before any of you humans think I'm an old guy, let it be made clear that I am an elf.
Edit: apparently my age has not yet made it into my profile. I'm 82.

78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin. Mine began at a dragon's dinner table. The dragon has kidnapped all the PCs and is forcing them to find her son.

Greetings to you all. You can call me Sir Riengo, because everyone misspells my real name. Scientist, gentleman, shark, and someone who has no idea how to play a tabletop RPG. Always a new skill to master, eh?

Thumbs up Re: Hello and Welcome New Members, Thread 10

I never knew OOTS had a forum. Then I saw the Forum link (today), I clicked on it, did the registration thing and I'm in !

This place looks, uh, all cluttered and everything, but no doubt I'll get used to it. All newcomers must feel the same, I guess. So many threads from all sorts of topics.

Hey there everyone, not really sure of what to say.
Dvil introduced me to this and is sitting next to me trying to make me write a lonely hearts ad.
I play board games/rpgs/sooooo many card games (instead of going to lectures).

So yeah, Hello ^^

Hello!

Well, I think it's obvious I'm new here, seeing as I'm on this thread and also had to ask for help in order to find the 'post reply' button...

However, here I am, here to stay, and ready to play a game or two. I hope to have a lot of fun here on these forums.

As for me, I'm just a student with a fondness for roleplaying, strawberries, and mind games. It's also fair to say that my username is a decent summary of my personality. On that note, please feel free to call me Caprice, or however you want to shorten that

So basically, it's nice to meet you all, and I look forward to hanging out on this site!

Hey everyone, I'm Saskia and as far as gaming goes I'm primarily a D&D and Shadowrun player. I dabble in other pen&paper RPGs and a few tabletop war games, but not enough to suggest that I'm competent at any of them. I find video games interesting overall and I've sunk an embarrassing number of hours into various strategy games (Total War series, Starcraft, Company of Heroes, Ogre series, etc), but I don't consider myself much of a vidya player overall.

Other than that I'm not sure what anyone cares to know, lol. I like machines, electronics, and things that fly, and I like my violence to stay squarely in the realm of fiction.

I guess one last barely-interesting tidbit is that a lot of my friends and family think I'm vegetarian or vegan but I'm not. I'm just kind of snobbish in what I consider "edible" and good meat is a lot more expensive than good plants, so most of the time when I cook for friends or family it's vegetarian something.

Also I'm kind of long-winded.

Hello, Saskia, welcome to the forum!

Would your username be a Witcher 2 reference, by any chance? (Say yes and I'll love you forever).

I hope you stick around and enjoy the community!

Thanks! Actually it's my name My father's Czech and I'm named after his mother. I did start playing the first Witcher but quit because it was too nightmarishly long for my casual scum taste, lol.

Anyway I've been reading articles and reading the forums for a while like a creepy stalker but never got around to making an account, so I suspect I'll stick around even longer now
