In January 1984, I began playing in an Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) campaign set in the world of Tharamaylor, an invention of my first Game Master (GM), Neil Fraser. What I didn’t realize at the time was that this nervous step into a new hobby would become a lifelong passion.
My first character was a young mage named Lissa, and my first party was a group of characters Lissa stumbled across while fleeing from her nemesis, the evil wizard Zatarn. The clichés are strong in this old scenario, but it was many years ago when such things were fresh for GMs and players.
Since then, I have played in and run many role-playing games. Over 40 years later, I run games via Roll20 and Foundry. Just look for me on Roll20 here and on Foundry here.
I don’t have the words to describe the profound benefits role playing has brought to my life. My partner, lifelong friends, and a wealth of positive, funny, and memorable experiences have all come about through role playing.
