First Things First

Hey everyone --

If it wasn't abundantly clear by the header image, this blog is a delve into the dork, as it were - and more specifically, about all things D&D. A little bit about myself might be in order: I'm 28, from the northeastern United States, and when I was a teenager I used to roleplay a lot. I played in games, ran games, and pretty much had a blast nerding out.

For most of my 20s I've ignored the hobby for one reason or another. The people I used to play with drifted apart, and I had several other things going on to occupy my time (college, girls, and alcohol to name a few).

Recently I've started to rekindle my geek roots, and after not having run a proper game in almost exactly a decade, some friends of mine have talked me into starting a D&D campaign at my local game store. Now, I haven't played D&D since second edition, so imagine my surprise once I started reading up on 4e! I'm open minded though, so what the hell.

Apparently, miniatures are important now... but the pre-painted ones that Wizards of the Coast puts out completely and utterly suck. Looks like I'll have to order some Reapers.
