Hi, folks! I was directed to this forum by my cousin MetalDog, lured by the promise of a 5E D&D game, but it seems like a fun place to hang around, regardless.

I'm a forty-something banker in Sarasota, FL, with interests in history, literature, and most topics of a geeky nature. The geeky inclinations I blame on MetalDog, who introduced me to Tolkien and D&D in the early 80s, but I've never held it against him  ;).

I may not be the most active of members, but I'm looking forward to participating.

Thanks! I used to hang out on a DC Comics fan fiction message board for many years, and really enjoyed the community aspect of it.

Yep, I'm from West Haven. MetalDog and I pretty much grew up together (but he's a year older and much better looking).

Maybe so, but I'm betting you've seen more classic movies than he has.

That's about the lowest bar you could find for him to clear...  ::)

I don't know about movies, but my taste in fantasy lit is much better. I still break out in hives when he brings up Raymond Feist.  :idiot2:
