I am a 67-year-old retired gamer who first played AD&D back in 1979. I’ve been fanatically playing games of all sorts since my infancy. That obsession extended itself to computer games starting with the Apple II and Commodore 64 days, and I’ve spent much of my life addicted to computer games. I managed and bought for the largest-volume game store in Canada for over a decade. Over the last 15 years or so I have been returning more and more to my tabletop RPG roots. I am a tactical wargamer at heart, especially given my decades in martial arts, including 7 years SCA sword fighting, but I can appreciate a good story and strong roleplaying. I am constitutionally incapable of playing evil characters and would have a hard time with players who do, or who otherwise run lone-wolf murder-hobos. I enjoy a cooperative team dynamic of good-aligned characters, though they don’t have to be lily-white without any flaws. I tend to play clerics or tanks, but I’m quite flexible. My personal preference is for long-term campaigns that run from level 1 all the way past 20th level. I’ve played in two such campaigns in the last decade, each lasting six years. That said, I’m also happy to join shorter adventures or games with more limited horizons. I play decently competent characters, but I am not a min-max powergamer. I’m an old-school player and won’t always remember newer pronoun conventions, but I am a strong believer in personal freedom. I have no issues with how you live your life so long as you have none with me. Let’s keep politics off the table and focus on what brings us together around the game.
