1. How did you first get into gaming?

The classic D&D indoctrination. KPC had his brother's mini-set of Chainmail and the old Blue Book of Dungeons and Dragons... it was 5th grade, about 1980, give or take. Lots of monty-haul dungeoun crawling, and mass-combat the first year.

2. What is your favorite RPG or setting? Why?

I like good ol' Champions/GURPS in Mostly Modern Day-ish settings. Spies, superheroes, Horror... even a bit of a rewind to period pieces in the "real world with psychics/supernatural/superpowers/gadgets" works well, as wel as blended Genres - 1950 Atomic Horror, Old West Horror, Super Agents/Heroes. I think it's because I burned out on most conventional fantasy gaming... While I agree that most games are the journey, and not the destination, the "quest for the (ring/princess/disease cure" thing isn't my fave. I'm pretty easy going, and could happily play in a Sci-fi universe, altered fantasy (Ars magica or warhammer, for example), or just about any type of genre that isn't totally played out.

3. What game(s) are you currently running or playing?

Nothing at the moment. The last pencil and paper RPG I was in was Everway a few years back. (lasted until Sept 24, 2000, the start of my time with CEJ) Last Computer-based one was City of Heroes, about a year ago.

4. What is the longest time you have played the same character?

Hard to say... most of my groups alternated games, so we didn't play the same game every week. I'd have to guess that I got the most enjoyment from gaming with Graypumpkin and Kat during that span.  Seems like the FOCUS (sort of a Supergroup working for a large Govt' org) team lasted the longest, I played miniMAX, a shrinking/Growing gadgeteer. got a lot of time in on the Earth 2.1 (1963 DC heroes alternate universe) game too, I played a Hippie-ish Green Lantern.

5. How many gaming books do you own?

About 3 bookshelves full, mostly GURPS reference, and a lot of Misc.

6. How many conventions do you attend each year?

varies, used to be one or two, but this year and last I've not attended any for gaming, just to poke my nose in the dealer's room and bolt.

7. How many different "styles" (Tabletop, LARP, CCG, etc) of gaming have you done?

Tabletop Dice and non-dice, Card Games (collectable, and non), Board Games, PBEM, Dice Games,  Miniatures (Leads, Heroclix, Angriff, Ogre, Pirates, Zombies!, Car Wars), war games, word association, etc. You name it, and I've probably played it.

My walk came out as "Sort of Like Kickboxing." The animation looked like someone in the throes of a pretty serious neurological disorder. When will I learn about these things??

Not "dancing the funky chicken?"

More like a spastic lambada. I always get weird meme answers.
