I've been role-playing for about 11 years now, ever since I started a 1-on-1 with my father when I was 9. I've grown up with it, used it to teach my friends lessons, learned life lessons with it myself, blah blah blah. Insert philosophical comments. Anyways, I love gaming. It's one of my biggest hobbies, and I'm starting to find that I love DMing as much as I love playing as a player. I love building worlds; it's like building a bunch of Lego space ships, except that your friends get to play with the space ships, have battles with the space ships, shoot down your space ships and then throw the Lego's in the air for next time. It's a lot of fun. :)
