Application
Hi people,
Applying for full membership of TOG. I'm 54.
Have enjoyed playing RPGs for many years, starting back with Dungeons and Dragons dice game in the 1980's as a DM and a player.
Also liked the Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights, so moved on from that to World of Warcraft where I have several toons, highest is a 76lvl pally tank and have now started playing Rift as a friend of mine is playing it. Rift is in someways better than Wow yet like them both, and so will be playing both.
So now have a lvl 12 toon on Rift, Wolfbane, Defiant - name Zanamroz!
The first computer game I played was 'Out of Eden' on an Amstrad CPC 664 with a floppy disk. This computer geek friend and I even tried to make our own game, we thought that one day we may even be able to play D&D on the computer, we had no idea how big the market was going to become (should have stuck with that idea, as it may have paid off, oh well.)
I like the idea of a large network of Gamers like TOG, as it is more stable and no one person can destroy it, like as sometimes happens with a Guild on one realm somewhere. Example:One person leads, people follow, then the leader gives up and the guild dies; the glue that stuck it together is gone and that flavor of leadership is often hard to reproduce. Yet with a bigger network, players would be secure in their belief that the Guild will always be there for them.
I am Australian, lived in many parts of the country and now work on a mine site in the desert. I have one week off, every three weeks, so have plenty of time in that week to play games.
