Tiamat wrote in Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors:Hello guys,I've been to Gen Con quite a few times but never made it to the auction... until this year. And I got hooked :D For those that might remember me, I'm that strange German that asked all kind of wierd question and didn't even recongnize Frank Mentzler after talking to him for 5 minutes about the history of Gen Con Thanks to everybody for being so kind! It was a great time and special thanks to (I hope I'm right here) Invincible Overlord & Bracton!Now I look forward to build up the largest D&D collection in Germany. See you next year in Indianapolis!

Brian2112 wrote in Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors:I live in the north Dallas metro area (Argyle) and am always on the lookout for an RPG group. I've lived here for almost two years and haven't had much luck. Always looking for suggestions on places to go and meet more gamers. I tend to stay away from random groups in stores as they tend to be the under 21 crowd min/maxing Pathfinder characters. Nothing wrong with that, just not my style of play :D .
Teague wrote in Introduce Yourself, Fellow Collectors:New to this place, though I found it a while ago when doing research for an article I was writing. Glad to finally be a member!I'm Teague Bohlen, a writer and professor of creative writing at the University of Colorado Denver. Wrote for Topless Robot a bunch (mostly geek-comedy lists), as well as a novel ("The Pull of the Earth") and a textbook ("The Snarktastic Guide to College Success") and am currently working on both a collection of flash fiction and a second novel. I started gaming back in the early 1980s, when I was 12 or so. A friend and I used to create characters to run through Keep on the Borderlands until they died. I think the first long-term character I had we ran through Tegel Manor (Judges' Guild!). I wish I remembered those characters' names, but I remember the times very well, and fondly. Started reading Dragon Magazine when it was numbered in the low-60s. Collected all I could after that, on and off. Still do, when I can.I'm here because the book "Playing at the World" was an amazing experience, and one I didn't want to come to a close! I'm fascinated by the history of the game, and heartened by the fact that there are clearly so many of us that are still slightly obsessed with it. :)Glad to meet y'all.
