My name is Lars, from Denton, TX. I'm 27, and started running games with MERP (Middle-earth Role Playing) when I was about 12. At the time, my parents wouldn't allow me to have any books with "Dungeons & Dragons" on the cover, although I did have some experience pulling out an old White Box and some other books from friends' Dad's closets and the like. Games I've ran for people in the past few years include D&D 3e/4e/1e/Labyrinth Lord/LotFP, Shadowrun, Burning Wheel, and a few others.
I game more now than I have at any point in my life. My dayjob is in computers and my nightjob is in electronics -- so any time I find myself with leisure time, just for myself -- there's nothing I love more than holing up in a corner with an RPG-related read, or notebooks to take notes and design dungeons for my next game. I suppose this routine will persist for the rest of my life.
I'm very attracted to talking about games, since I am a self-taught DM and love seeing how other people do it. That interest has led me into a recent obsession with the OSR community. I'm at the point now where I can't really stand any of the newer versions of D&D... they all feel too much half-way (and not in a good way) between the things I love about OSR gaming and things I love about story-based gaming like Burning Wheel.
If you're in the North Texas area, I'd love to hear from you.
