I'm Paul, 28 and from the rather dreary English city of Sunderland. I'm a massive FR fan and have been for neigh on 14 years since I first played Baldur's Gate. The addiction began there and since I have played every DnD/FR computer game (even Demonstone), managed to pretty much complete the set of FR books (227 and counting) and also read every 'Ask Ed' to date.
RP wise I am pretty new I must admit, never had friends or people/groups local who were into DnD so have never had the PnP experience. That said I did play a lot of the interactive Fighting Fantasy stuff and also was part of an adventuring party on Warhammer Quest... had a quick root in the loft and I still have the character sheets... Karl Breistein the stoic witch-hunter and my favourite Arien Greenleaf (RIP). Have played a wide variety of MMORPG including RP on WoW and LotRo, as well as Conan, Eve, Darkfall and Mortal Online.
Recently re-installed NWN2 and was searching for extra modules and discovered PW for the first time so started looking about for something that would fit. Saw ALFA on the vault and was really impressed with the description there, wasn't too optimistic about being accepted but here I am.
Anyhow this post is really far too long for an introduction and I'm nearly finished downloading the third server info so I'll wrap it all up. I'm going to read through the forums and try not to rush into character creation/server. I'm in England so I think it's going to the Moonshae or the Marches for me as that seems to be where the GMT players lie.
Look forward to meeting, loving, hating and fighting the lot of you
and I hope my verbosity hasn't bored you to tearsPaul
