Title: Long Time Lurker sayin' Hi Post by Graver13 on Aug 29th, 2009 at 8:45am
Well, I've come to these forums a few times in the past and found that I couldn't create an account, but that's been fixed, yay! Given that i am finally able to, i figured I'd best register while the registering was good -after all, you never know when anything will just up and stop working again.
Well, a bit about me is in order I guess. Been playing for 20 some odd years like most other folks though I've never been a fan of the more traditional high fantasy settings. My first game was actually Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness (hush! It was the 80's, I was in the 7th grade, and the turtles were hot to us kids back then! and I still kinda like them... :-[) fallowed by Rifts before I realized other game systems existed. From there, it was head first into the 90's darker then dark, gothier then goth games before a long ten year bender on bizarre indi games like Octane, Lacuna, and Little Fears with a long stent in the weird trashiness of Unknown Armies. I guess the closer a game is to something Lynch, Cronenberg, or Barker would do, the more I'm drawn to it. Currently, I'm GMing a game of Dark Heresy (Warhammer 40k rpg) and reveling in the insanity of it all. It's like Lexx only as written by Clive Barker during the witch hunts. I've been in love with the 40k setting since 1990 and waiting for an rpg based on it ever since I purchased Rogue Trader and realized it was rules for miniature skirmishes that really wanted to be an rpg but couldn't quite get there. I couldn't do much with it as I never had the money to get into the mini's -those damned things were expensive in the 90's and now they're just insane (though my roommate just pre-ordered the limited edition of the remake of Space-Hulk and the thing we're most excited about is getting to paint the little figures ;D ). Once a 40k game was announced and released, I had to get it and brow-beat my players into finally agreeing to let me run it. Turned out, they really got into the setting and story and a year and a half latter, we're looking forwards to Rogue Trader (same name as 40k 1st ed, but it's really a role playing game this time around chock full of syphilitic nazi cyborg conquistador pirates with fully automatic missile launchers!) Well, that seems to about wrap up my gaming geekiness in a nut-shell... a rather large nut-shell, but a nut-shell none the less. |

Heyas and welcome to the forums Graver13.
I remember playing the TMNT back in *cough* 80-something, absolutely loved that game. In fact I still have my original core rule book and supplements for it. I played RIFTS several times during the years and have always been fascinated by the setting but, the Palladium rules leave alot to be desired. Rifts setting jammed into GURPS = Happy Kaos. :D I have not either played or heard of most of the other games you mentioned so I can't comment. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay with us. K |

I have 30,000 points of Sisters of Battle, 4,000 Points of Space marines, and prolly 1,000 points left of Tau.
I got enough mini's to support a 6 way battle in appocolypse rules. So if you ever want to play 40,000 and learn all about it I can share some of my mini's. Also as for dark heresy.... let me in, let me in, let me in. I've loved everything Dark Library has thrown out. I have comics, books, and codexes to armies I don't even play. I'd love to join in a game. I don't know how to play but I learn quickly. I want t play a sister of battle rly bad. |

What's most impressive about these posts, Netzach, is that you didn't copy and paste all of them.
