Hello, I am a 37 year old construction accountant by day, skateboarder by night, living in south Austin Texas. I began gaming around the age of seven with a game called OGRE by Steve Jackson. I got into fantasy role-playing around the age of eight with some friends at school using the red box version of D&D (not sure what edition that is). Played AD&D until they released second edition (I think I was starting high school about that time), then began playing Rifts with some kids in high school. Switched to Cyberpunk 2020 for a few years, then stopped playing games altogether when I started college.

It was only until a little over a year ago that I got back into gaming after moving to Austin with (ironically) OGRE. Steve Jackson Games is located literally a few miles from my house, and I happened upon a game going on at my local comics shop. I wanted to get back into role-playing a bit more, but found the newer editions of D&D to be a little uninspiring. I realized a little later that OSR was a big thing after visiting some forums, so I did a little research and came across LotFP.

I've started a small group just recently using these rules and Carcosa as the campaign setting. I dig the low-fantasy/sci-fi/horror feel to it.
