[DONE] Membership Application: Mortuorum (Champions Online, Mostly)

[Mortuorum]

Hi,

As you'd expect, this is my application for full membership in The Older Gamers.

I am presently most active online playing Champions Online (@Mortuorum). I also play a fair amount on Xbox Live (Tag: Mortuorum), although I don't do a lot of online gaming anymore; anyone who's spent any amount of time on XBL lately understands why.

I'm a 44 year-old information technolofgy manager based in coastal Connecticut and am the proud father of a five year-old genius, er, daughter. In my leusire time, I enjoy PC and console gaming, tabletop gaming (mostly Champions and D&D 3.5), reading, enjoying good wines, watching TV with my wife and (not nearly often enough) riding my bicycle.

I've been tabletop gaming since the old D&D boxed set; I'm gong to guess that was around 1979. Since then, I've played in more tabletop games than I can remember and have GMed several editions of D&D, Champions, Quest, Rifts, DC Heroes, Vampire: The Masquerade and probably others I've forgotten. Before my daughter was born, I used to LARP regularly, mostly at LIONE Rampant of New England, and in fact met my wife LARPing.

My forst console was a Magnavox Odyssey 2, but I skipped a few generations after that and didn't own another one (unless you count a TRS-80 Color Computer) until I went to work part-time at Babbage's and bought a Sega Genesis in 1989 or '90. Since then, I've owned an Atari Jaguar, Playstation, Dreamcast, Xbox, GameCube and Xbox 360. My favorite genre is Western-style RPGs (Morrowind, Mass Effect, Fallout 3), but I also enjoy JRPGs, shooters, racing games and anything else that's clever or just plain fun. (As long as it doesn't have far-flung save points. Ugh.)

I'm interested in joining The Older Gamers since my old CO supergroup essentially fell apart due to lack of committment on the part of the officers and members. TOG looks like a group of committed, reliable and mature gamers with whom I'll be proud to adventure or just play a few rounds of CTF with. And where I won't have to have my sexuality, parentage or dietary habits maligned every ten seconds!

Thank you for your consideration.
