Hello,
I'm Jay, male, 49, from New Orleans in the US. I got to read a friend's Blood Sword books years ago, and got to look at copies of the ordinal DW books a few years back that a friend found at a used book store and I got the Serpemt King Core Dragon Warriors book a few months back and waited for the Christmas in July sale at RPGNow this year to get the rest of the books. I paid an arm an a leg to get a print copy of in From the Cold and spent the last two weeks looking for racecourses for the game online.
I got into RPGs back in 1977 and played mostly D&D & AD&D at first then switched to modern & Sci Fi setting games. I lost my entire gaming collection, books, etc., except for my feng Sui RPG stuff that was in my car, a few years back due to a hurricane and got out of gaming for several years. When i did setback in to gaming I looked at other systems and did not want to touch nor attempt to re-buy the stuff that had taken years to get.
When I run any games now it is online using Fantasy Grounds.
My training is as a paralegal and I have a degree in Political Science as well.
I got into doing CGI art, making maps witch CC3 and other map making programs a few years back. (I'm more than happy to do art for people if I have the time and ability using the stuff I have.)
I'm also done a lot of research into Japanese & Chinese culture and mythology.
I like simple quick game system and was very impressed with the way Dragon warriors handled faerie and magick as that was closer to the various books I have on faerie.
Recently, I've been having a lot of health issues and that has caused me to be limited in my activities and discontinue several hobbies and online activity. (I'm reading the Dragon warriors PDFs I purchased right now while recovering from some surgery and a friend is typing up my post for me while I dictate as I have limited hand use at the moment whit my main hand.)
Anyway, looking forward to posting in the future.
Welcome, Jay! That's a very comprehensive introduction and I know you'll spark some interest by dropping Fantasy Grounds, CC3, and Japanese/Chinese culture and mythology into your introduction
