[Quiet Man Cometh]

I'm a game nut in just about every way. Card games, role play, consol games, PC games, board games, etc. But my favourite really is playing DnD. It's sort of a family thing here. Back in the 70s my dad encountered this thing called DnD and thought it would be a good thing for his nerdy stepson to d, so dad DMd for my brother. After my sister and I came along my brother introduced it to us with ADnD and later 3.0. A number of cousins and such also play. It was always great fun and we usually play marathon sessions that last at least two days.

We don't get together often anymore though, because of jobs and school and the like. Since I'm the least busy I've largely taken over DMing for our group. I've also started gaming online though message boards. I currently run one game and play in another, both Eberron world. Since it's painfully slow at times, we tend to focus more on character interaction and story than kick-in-the-door dungeon crawling. Online dice rollers handle the number crunching.

And yes, I'm not a fan of 4e, though I do have the books. Right now I'm poised to be one of the last 3.5 dms on the forums I play on since most new games are 4e. I like the character creation better in 3.5, with all the skills and little tweeks that can be made. Characters aren't quite so defined by their class as they seem to be in 4e.

Outside of DnD I used to play Magic: the Gathering quite a bit but I recently got out of the game though I still have my decks and a small collection of cards I kept.

I've played Munchkin, though never Killer Bunnies even though I know we have it somewhere. One of my favourite games is Citadels, a card based game where players take on identities that are kept secret and try to be the first to build a city, without the other characters getting in your way. A lot of the game involves selecting one's character and guessing who the other characters are.
