Hi, all. I'm just a middle-aged geek; I teach computer science at the college level, and spend more time than I should online. I'm a marginally-adequate cook who's actually getting fairly good at home canning (Salsa and relishes, mostly). I'm an offline friend of member MichaelC, and joining so I can take part in his online Call of Cthulhu Role-playing Game .
Welcome fellow fan of the dark.
Since you are here for the Mystery & Horror Role-playing Game Board please also take the time to familiarize yourself with two things:
1. Mystery & Horror Rules so you can know the limits.
2. The Constructive Posting Policy to understand Posting requirements
Hi Brianh! That's a splendid introduction. You have the kind of background that might enable you to interact on more ways than just with Role-playing Games in the community. Your friend's sign up game is here: MichaelC's Call Of Cthulhu 6th Ed Campaign Review. In this thread you declare yourself a player in his game and your experience level if you like so other players know.
I'm here mostly for the CoC game. Back in the day I ran an every-other-week 1st ed. Advance Dungeons & Dragons game for 4 years, and in the process fairly well burned myself out on medieval heroic fantasy. These days I'm mostly playing some White Wolf stuff and a Serenity game (Which is where I met MichaelC). I've had some vague ideas about starting up a game but realistically don't have the time to take on that kind of commitment right now.
Brianh, your update about MichaelC was moved to the correct place: Source 4s please review Role-playing Game Etiquette for a better understanding about where to post.
