So, I met the guy once at a LRP adventure, I then get a facebook request and nagged ever since to join the forums. Well, I've relented, so here I am. :p
So, me. I'm a massive gamer, have been since I can remember. even at primary school I made up and ran my own games for the other kids.
I discovered Heroquest when it first came out in 1989 (still remember the adverts) when I started secondary school aged 11. Those who know maths know that makes me 21. Least that's what I tell everyone. Loved it, then started playing WFRP, WFB (3rd edition), 40k (1st edition, rogue trader), epic space marine/titans, bloodbowl (2nd edition), space hulk (had all the expansions), space crusade, advanced HQ and SC etc etc. At one point or another I've owned practically ever game that GW produced up until a period of time, maybe around 1994 when they started to get a bit rubbish. You know, when White Dwarf went from a games magazine, to an in games magazine to a games catalogue... (Oh, I also own WDs from issues 18 to around 170). I also got into live role-play from a very young age, and haven't stopped since.
Alas, being a grown up and all, over the last 20 odd years (11 + 22 = 21, right?) alot of my collection has vanished, got lost, been lent out etc to the stage where I'm now looking to rebuild it. So, if anyone can help, I'd be much obliged.
Rather than clog up this intro, I'll make a comment with what I'm after, if anyone can help or has stuff for sale, please let me know (might save my current eBay splurge). Anywho, nice to meet you all.
You don't stop playing games when you get old, you get old when you stop playing games.
