My First Actual Post.

I decided to do this on a whim.  My girlfriend was reading a bunch of gaming blogs and I got to thinking, "I like to talk about things on the internet, and I game a lot, maybe I can keep track of some of it."  I am currently in a twice a week gaming group that plays Sunday and Monday nights.  We don't play a lick of Dungeons and Dragons at all.  Part of me wants to base this blog around games that you can play to avoid D&D, but I enjoy playing it.  I just think it requires the right group and right mindset.  Once every two weeks I get together with friends from college and play 4E (though I am trying to convince them to go to Pathfinder instead) over Skype and a mapping program called Maptools.  Maptools 

We have a long running Epic tier campaign that I have played in on and off since level 8.  I am also a competitive player in a game called Legend of the Five Rings. L5R I am part of the northern Virginia group that plays at Huzzah Hobbies in Ashburn, and run a forum for the area. NoVAL5R My Sunday, Monday group play a variety of games.  Currently, I run the filler game.  It is a teenage super-hero game run out of Icons.  Icons is a FATE system game that is very over the top, but pretty rules light to allow us to do some really ridiculous things.

Our every week games are: A Firefly game run in GURPS 3rd, a Victorian supernatural investigation game run in the same, the Dresden Files RPG run by my girlfriend using it's system from Evil Hat, and starting next week, one of the members in our group, who works at a Games Workshop, is going to run Deathwatch for us.  Personally, I have run Dark Heresy, Exalted, GURPS, Savage Worlds, D&D 4E, Legend of the Five Rings, and WR&M for our group.  Other games we have gotten into include Shadowrun and Deadlands: Hell on Earth.  We have also had various flavors of GURPS including supers and fantasy.  I have the obligatory Warhammer 40k army sitting around collecting dust, and have an Infinity PanOceana kill team as well.  I have the models for a Confrontation war band, but since the rules change, I haven't had the urge.
