I've been playing rpgs since the early 90s and was interested in them years before, starting with my brothers Commodore 64 copy of Dungeons & Dragons and later a battered 1st Edition Players Handbook I still own. I started learning to play Rolemaster and Champions (I still run HERO System from time to time) and for the last ten years or so I have been aggressively branching out, trying new games, old games, things I missed. I mostly GM. My group has been very patient as we moved through new Kickstarter games (most recently TORG) and even some very old games such as 2nd Edition Paranoia.
I speak unaccented American English closely resembling a Midlands accent with some Deep South colloquialisms. My hearing has suffered some minor work related damage and if connections aren't good I can have problem hearing some sounds.
