ddw225 Posted May 31, 2016 Report Share Posted May 31, 2016 How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? Well to tell the truth, I have no idee, it was created when I wanted to.pla an online game and evry single.name that I chose was taken and so I just constructed.a.random name and this is what I came up with, I must say though that my favourite number is the number 25. What was the first tabletop RPG you played? The first and only tabletop RPG I ever played was D&D, me and a couple of friends started playing it about a year ago and it went on for about a year after which the gang broke up because no one wanted to GM and we did not completely understand everything. What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed? I have not yet Gmed a tabletop RPG, but that is why I am here, I want to learn more about the hero system to be able to gm my own game with some friends. What are you currently playing/GMing Unfortunately not. smoelf and Hyper-Man 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cantriped Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm not exactly a lurker but... My current Handle was the name of one of my World of Warcraft Characters, a goblin mage. Lately I use it all over the net (including on the paizo forums and Steam). A cantrip is a mischevious or playful act, or a trick; in gaming parlance a cantrip is a weak or minor spell. I misspell it's past-tense on purpose because I like the way it looks as "cantriped" better than "cantripped". The first tabletop RPG I played was a mix of 1st and 2nd edition AD&D, and I was 4 years old when I rolled that character; my mother was the GM at that table. The first tabletop RPG I ran as GM was 3rd edition D&D. I am not currently playing in any games (the last game I played in was a pathfinder campaign). I am currently running a Pathfinder campaign, but I have run a few HERO campaigns as well over the years. The HERO System has been my favorite gaming system for almost a decade now. I currently use the Champions Complete/Fantasy HERO Complete rulesets (which I consider to be as distinct an edition as 5th revised was to 5th). You will most frequently see my name show up in threads regarding rules questions or character building. One of my hobbies is writing up characters and concepts from the shows I watch in HERO system.

digeridork Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I'm new too. My forum name is digeridork. I'm a bit of a dork and I like the sounds you can produce with a didgeridoo. The first tabletop RPG game that I played in was Star Wars d6 sometime around 1990. The first tabletop RPG game that I ran was a very short lived d6 Star Wars game about 1991. Been running games ever since. I am currently in the character creation stage for a Champions game. I am currently running a 2nd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Birthright game. Next week I will be running a Savage Worlds Scooby Doo game for some friends as part of our traditional Halloween scary RPG session. I was first introduced to Champions sometime in the mid-90s working graveyard at a call center. I played a pool cleaner that tossed lightning balls and fought with an electrically charged pool hand skimmer . It wasn't a well thought out character, but he was made between handling two irate callers so there's that. I didn't actually play again until 2010 when my roommate brought home a copy of 5th Edition Hero. I've enjoyed learning a system that I was initially very overwhelmed with and this forum has been especially helpful for that, so thanks.

Nijiru Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? Nijiru is a bastardized-weeb version of my real name that I came up with when I was 14. Been using it since. What was the first tabletop RPG you played? D&D 3rd ED, way back in high school. What was the first tabletop RPG you GMed? D&D 5th ED, Hoard of the Spider Queen, last summer. Got to around level 5 before one of the guys moved out of province and the rest of the group agreed to stop playing until we reboot the game when we all have the free time. What are you currently playing/GMing? I'm playing Hero System 6th ED in a cyber-punk-ish game, acting as a policing force to bring law and order back to part of a war-torn country. I'm playing a combat medic. Hyper-Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocho Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 Long time lurker, first time poster How did you come up with your 'handle' (forum name)? A few years ago there was a Cincinnati Bengal (football) named Chad Johnson who changed his name to Ocho Cinco (his # was 85, makes sense right?). I thought that was bombastic, but figured I could do better and changed mine to Ocho Infinito. Years rolled by and I shortened it because there "could be only one"....uh...Ocho.

TheDarkness Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Already did this, but just realized I never filled out my profile. Just fixed it, maybe someday I'll add a pic. And E Nymtom, this forum is really quite pleasant. In fact, it has quickly turned into one of my favorites. I tire nowadays at the idea that freedom of discourse requires utter ruthlessness or that there is some victory to be won by making some people you like on the internet feel proud at whatever clever but jerky things you said today to a stranger. I'm starting to find that self moderation appears to actually be a bad thing to too many people on too many forums. People here seem to be themselves, not some role they made up. Which is hugely ironic, given that this is a role playing game forum. Whereas out in the wild web, people seem to be taking roles in order to fulfill some wish fulfillment in a game no one else agreed to play. The worst part of it all? Their builds are never balanced and their alter egos always have the worst names. What, you are a blue collar worker posting all day against the evils of X under the indefatigable guise of TwinkleDank_23? But, what blue collar job do you have again, that lets you post all day? It's like middle school has been extended for everyone. Here, it's like hanging out with your old gaming buds. As adults. Occasionally immature adults, but not at the expense of anyone else. Of course, some members get along better with certain members than others, but everyone seems to get that it's a place for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storyarama Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi, my handle is Storyarama, and it came from a time where I was doing Storytelling as a hobby. My first time playing was with AD&D 1st ed. I was actually headed to summer camp when I heard some of the kids on the bus talking about what spells they were taking, and I just had to find out what that meant. That was the week of summer camp that changed the whole direction of my life. My first time GMing was a couple weeks later after camp, when I put together a dungeon and had a buddy run a party of characters through it. Apparently, giants and first level characters do not mix well. TPK. Oooops. Learned some important lessons though. Currently running: Champions 5th ed., Fantasy Hero for 5th ed., AD&D 3.5 Currently playing: Champions 5th ed., AD&D 3.5, Star Wars D20 drunkonduty, Hyper-Man and bigdamnhero 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
