and so it begins 

and so it begins

...and so it all begins. I decided I would finally step out and make my mark on internet. This is not to say that I've never used the internet before, but that I've never contributed to said community. For some reason, lately, contributing to the community has been important to me. As I'm sure the title suggests (at least to some) I'm a gamer. I play Dungeons and Dragons. I DM. I've always enjoyed picking up new books, and discussing the game. It is a passion of mine. However, six months ago, or so, I started using the forums at the Wizards of the Coast website. I learned alot, and hopefully, expanded a few other peoples knowledge. A bit over a year ago, I started playtesting for a gaming company(don't ask, I won't tell, signed liscenses, not screwing this up, I love it). These two things made me realize that I wanted to contribute to the gaming community. More than just an opinion or a rules interpretation. So, I've started writing. I've written an adventure that I am currently trying to get published. Adventures are something I write anyways(I DM), so I figured this was a good place to start. Perhaps someday, if I have any success with this, I'll upgrade to writing other types of supplements. This site, I hope, will also contribute to the community.
D&D isn't my only passion. Like most people, I have several. Or perhaps having several is unusual, and I'm just unusually passionate. I'm passionate about writing in general. I've had no real success with that, but like any artist, failure will not deter me. I have a hard time writing novel length material. I enjoy writing short stories, and in highschool I used to write poetry, but I've kinda out grown that. Just not my bag anymore. My real dream is to be a writer. If I'm lucky I'll be able to publish both conventional writing as well as gaming material. While that's mostly dreaming, I will chase my dreams.
My other passion is my wife. I love her with great passion. She's caring and understanding. She encourages me to chase my dreams. She's always beside me, supporting me, whatever endeavour I'm undertaking. She's wonderful(I'd marry nothing less). Best of all, I've converted her into a geek and a gamer. Love her.
And so, now you know my passions. Hopefully this will turn into something more. I will attempt to write in this daily, but I make no gaurantees. I even hope to one day add a webcomic. Mind you, I don't draw all that well, but we'll see what happens. I've got links to the webcomics I read on the page, enjoy those if you don't already.
Till next our paths cross, may your days be filled with joy and growth, love and companionship.
