Kinch Introduction

Greetings everyone, I'm Kinch and I'm new.
I'm a Ph.D. Student majoring in electrical engineering; besides that, I am an ardent fan of good literature, esp. In the fantasy/sci-fi genre. My favorites include "Flowers for Algernon", "The Man in the High Castle", and "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress", as well as non-sci-fi titles such as works of Franz Kafka.
My first experience with D&D was from playing the Baldur's Gate series. The immense depth of the world and the story felt incredible. There is a true sense of wonder. Unfortunately I never had the chance to join a real table-top D&D session, and being in Beijing now doesn't help. I can only imagine how much more immersive the experience would be when the players actively participate in making the story, instead of being merely brought along like in a computer game. I will watch and learn how these games are conducted, and, when I feel ready, join myself.

You must be a whiz then. Cool that you like D&D and stuff, did you figure out how to create your character on here yet? By the way, are you actually in China now?

Introduction Kinch

(laugh), thanks, but I found that research is really less about smarts than it is just about patience, which I daresay I've been gifted in plenty.
I haven't found an open game yet though, it looks like the games in Member Wars are all well under-way. I'm waiting till there's ad for a new game. I'm following a couple of other forums as well, as the process is pretty slow, and on busier forums you don't always get into a game you signed up for (way more applicants than GM can handle).
And yes, I'm getting my degree at Tsinghua University in Beijing.

Introduction Kinch

Hi kinch! There is a current D&D game you can join in, someone even created a character there today: Source 8

If you have 30 posts you can also join in Future Earth, a custom science fiction RPG: Source 3 they are awaiting at least one more player I believe.

Kinch Introduction

role-playing games aside I will very much like your input into Topics related to China:

• China vs. USA
  
• China vs. Taiwan
  
• China vs. Japan
  
• Chinese Spies Everywhere?
  
• Gag the Internet in China
  
• Henious Crimes to Wildlife (Mature group status required)
  
• China: You have no rights!

These are just a few of them, the more controversial ones. Sorry, not to be forward but we rarely have native participation from China so comments from 'man on the ground' are most welcomed.
