| About 12, when I stumbled across an FR RP chatroom. I was amazed by all of the depth of the setting that older people were talking about, and soon after that, I was hooked. |

"That attitude should be stomped on, whenever and wherever it's encountered, because it makes people holding such views bad citizens, not just bad roleplayers (considering D&D was structured as a 'forced cooperation' game, and although successive editions are pointing it more and more towards a me-first, min-max game, the drift away from 'we all need each other to succeed' will at some point make it 'no longer' D&D)." - ED GREENWOOD |

It all started when I found a strange, glowing portal in the back of my closet... |

That's what I was thinking but I didn't want to ask about her wardrobe. :)
And there's a thread like this somewhere on the boards..... |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that other thread...
(I'm sure Rino's wardrobe is very pretty!) |
