well, I'm in my 2nd (and last) year of aircraft maintenance at Canadore College... I'm 20 and single...umm... I play games alot, and snowboard alot more, and bike lots in the summer.
I'm a Scout leader, some people find that weird. Given that I swear like theres no tomorrow (if you've ever met me in person I'm worse than online)
music wise: anything that sounds cool... mostly classic rock and punk.. but I'll even listen to rap every now and then
I'm at a point of exponentially increaseing stress in life, between college and finding work and places to live and such.. so I'm a little irritable at times, and on the verge of breaking down into tears at others...
that's pretty much me on a plate.
so if you have a question about airplanes I can probably answer it, or tell you some bull that looks like a smart answer

Well now.....I like candle-lit dinners, long walks on the beach, horseback riding, and....oh, wait a minute, that's for something else OK, I'm 30, live in a backwater town called Waxahachie, about 20 miles south of Dallas, TX. I live with my fiancee and 3 cats and 3 dogs in a rented house that's falling apart, I might add. (The house, not my fiancee or pets.) Never been a HUGE rp gamer. I played a bit of PnP D&D and Palladium when I was younger, but I've always loved rpg video games. It started with Final Fantasy 7 on the PS, and I was hooked. I played a bit on Everquest and Dark Age of Camelot (which is where a lot of my ideas about area and mod design come from). Then a friend of mine mentioned something about a new game, Neverwinter Nights. My fiancee and I both bought copies, and then I realized that, wow, you can make your own games with this? I pretty much stopped playing the OC and started messing around in the Toolset. See, I've always loved the idea of creating my own little world, so I was addicted. I built a succession of poor attempts at Persistent Worlds, I guess I thought I could recreate an entire world, a la EQ or DAoC. I soon realized that it would be impossible for one guy to do this, so I started to do a "simple hack n' slash" mod, thus Netheria was born. My other hobbies include playing music, I've been in several Dallas-area bands. I'm currently in an acoustic duo with a buddy of mine. You can check it out at www.backtoblue.com. (I know, shameless plug.) My favorite artists are: U2, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, among many others (classic rocker, as well). Well, that's about me in a nutshell.....Now if anyone could help me get out of this nutshell, let me know.

Heh, Guess I forgot to do one of these here.... Well, im 18 ;D That sometimes surprises people. Mainly because I sometimes act a little immature. I live in Texas. Just moved here from South Carolina, and you know what? Redneck jokes are funnier when you encounter them. Im mainly a role player. Ive been on RP servers ever since I bought this game two years ago. Friend introduced me to it and I was hooked. After I messed with the toolset, I was hooked again. Tried helping out some RP servers, but that was just a pain. Theres so many issues of whats better RP than other RP and so on. Then went around some PvP servers and made some stuff for them, and for some reason it was easier and I had more fun. I then become a DM on a couple servers to mainly police them. Along with being an officer for the guilds to help with registration. Then I started working on my own module, which is pretty good, from what im told. Just got tired of just me working on it and trying to come up with a storyline for every single thing, since it is a RP mod. Then found myself working on scripts more than areas. So I just started making random things like random lightning, banks, boat system, etc... My hobbies are NWN, NWN, and...NWN. Im starting to teach myself C++ here and there. I like certain types of rock. Favorite bands are Avenged Sevenfold, Korn, Static X, Green Day, Paparoach, Mudvayne, and Disturbed. I love all those scary suspense movies (The Grudge and Saw is the best so far!). As some of you can tell, its really hard to aggrivate me. Im pretty laid back. I like to hang out and just have fun. Life is short, so I try to have fun every place I go. Also, im very patient. And language is not my strong point. Well, after I saw an anouncement in NWVault, said to myself, hey, that sounds like a pretty good place to be. I was right. ;D - Nightmare

Heh, since I started all of this, I'd better post too...
I'm John, a 32 year old Pub Manager from sunny Scotland. Unhappy with my job, looking for anything else that will not give me a cracked collarbone (as I have now)...Anyone hiring? (Would love to visit Texas!)
Anyway, just dumped my long term partner (don't ask) and have regained some time around the flat....
Night mentioned this 'up-and-coming' world thingy (we'd met on another forum)...
So now I'm here - played PnP since I was eleven, been a DM since I was sixteen, am fully versed in the mechanics of the whole PnP world and am just breaking into the online...
Anything more, PM me and ask! ;D
Folly.

I'm not a writer, but I can put down ideas. Which is pretty much how I DM'd, on the fly as it's called. I would write down some ideas and let my imagination take over as my group played. Everytime I would try to write things down, they turned into lists. So, that is how I'd set up each gaming session. So here is my list. Well, as a gamer, I started playing Chainmail, and then D&D in 78. Switched to AD&D in 79, which is also when I started DM'ing. Besides AD&D, I played many, many different RP games between 79 and 91, and was a playtester between 88 and 91 for a gaming company in Detroit. From 91 till a few years ago, played VtM (with the same group of guys). I'm also a big fan of the chit-style war board games, like Third Reich, Gettysburgh, World in Flames, etc. Got into computer gaming somewhere around 93/94 I guess, and really like games like Age of Kings, Civilization, Warcraft, etc. My first online RPG was Asheron's Call (where I learned that I was a powergamer). Bought NWN about 6 months after it came out, and started playing online about 6 months after that. I was never interested in building, except for the maps, which I like. But putting things on them was too much of a pain. So I just downloaded mods, hundreds of them (I think I have around 300 or 400 right now). Personal stuff Well, my name is Andy, I'm 42 , married almost 17 years. Biker is my life and gamer is my hobby. I am a member of two groups, H.O.G. and the RPGA. The music I like is heavy, hard, and loud. I moved from Detroit, Michigan to Phoenix, Arizonia about 2 years ago, and even though my gaming group had to break up because of it, I still keep in touch with them. And that's about it. There's more but I only have so much time, and I'm not writing a novel here Rooker

My name is Freakbit, but you may know me as Pukenot.
I'm 31, engaged, and have recently given up being a liar. What I mean, is that I left my work as a Financial Advisor in order to study writing. We'll see how that works out.
I have been playing RPG games since I was a boy. I started with PnP and progressed to the early PC games like Ultima, Wizardry and the gold box series. When all my nerdy friends gave up the PnP sessions I found online RPG's. I've visited them all and play WoW when not playing NWN.
I also enjoy reading, writing, playing music and tending to the wants of my fiance.
See you in Netheria.
Freakbit

I am SURE we have found other people along the way...
The best way to get to know us (and set up gaming time) is to post here, tell us when you are free and where you are at...
Come on! Write a biography!
*stares at them steely eyed*
'WELL?'

I'm new here so I'll jump in and add my .02. You'll probably be seeing me around during the weekends... I'm 36, married, and my husband plays as well. Actually, this started out with me buying him the game as a Valentine's present. After a few days of watching him play, I thought, ok that looks pretty cool, and bought myself a copy. I'm sure my husband will be around to introduce himself sooner or later I have three daughters, 9, 16, and 18, and one very spoiled shar-pei / blue heeler mix dog who thinks (knows) she is queen of the roost. At any given moment, she is either sacked out with a pillow under her head, or chasing my feet. I work as an IT project assistant and also go to school full-time, working on a bachelor's in IT. I play on the weekends, because it's the only time I HAVE to play. I have a temper but don't hold grudges. I ask a LOT of questions (I am just beginning to appreciate how insane I must have driven my own mother). I am obnoxiously opinionated. I love to read. I have a good sense of humor and am not easily offended.
