Introduction:

Role Playing Games, or RPGs, have been in existence ever since one friend or sibling said to another, Lets Play Pretend or perhaps Make Believe. At the basis is telling a story together, to entertain. It is a distant relative to Interactive Theatre, it is a form of Improvisational Storytelling, it is a way to flex the mental and creative muscles to tell a story, create a tale, recreate a myth in a person's own way. It is a form of Entertainment.

Why This Hub is Here:

This is my hobby. Role Playing Games, it has been since about Christmas of 1977. For me this has been a source of entertainment, enjoyment, and creative inspiration during this time.

It is a hobby, a way to flex my writing and storytelling abilities and skills.

In High School it was one of my primary social outlets. Now I use it to create newsletters, work and help out on gaming things for other companies, and someday I will publich my own works as well. I have several potential items in various stages of completion. One that could be done in a few days or weeks, sans decent editorial assistance that is. It all ties into my love of writing as well.

My Gaming Focus:

Mostly a mix up of more than one genre which is what I love the most about gaming. Much like my taste in fiction as well. My favorite gaming genres includes the following:

• Cyberpunk
• Steampunk
• Victoriana
• Superheroes
• Horror
• Stuff that mixes it all up
• Speculative Fiction
• Singularity Style Gaming

There are way too many systems to mention that I have the books for. Instead I am just going to mention the ones I care about any more.

• d20 OGL (MSRD and SRD)
• FUZION / Interlock
• HERO System / Champions
• Dark Conspiracy
• Call of Cthulhu
• JAGS (Just Another Game System)
