... and bumps his knees into it, because otherwise, we'll be here forever with the bad jokes. I take no responsibility for the bad jokes that anyone else puts here.
As for the bard's player, I go by Tom in meatspace, and I'm the impetus behind Nathan Telluride, a guy who's just going to keep on living the Itinerant Skald Life until he finds a real reason to stop.
Hey, a checklist... ok, so I go all conformist with it, or turn this into a performance piece? Eh, in the words of Jack Burton, what the hell.
I've been an RPer across tabletops for one heck of a long time (hint - I didn't buy my old 1st and 2nd edition AD&D books second hand...), having dabbled with a heck of a lot of genres and systems, from D&D to Star Frontiers, with frequent stops in old Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, several universes of GURPS stuff, and some very successful stints in the old White Wolf universe and Wh40k campaigns.
This is all good and well, but it becomes a bit more relevant to this little enclave that I have been RPing in MMOs since 2008, following a few multigame guilds as I went, starting in LOTRO, and blazing through Age of Conan, Fallen Earth, Rift, SWTOR, Star Trek Online, Wildstar and now FFXIV, the latter to which I was called by a couple of previous guildies who'd found a good home here. I've been a victim of altitis in most of them, and have RPed families, relationships, and the occasional smarmy bastard and opportunist here and there. In FFXIV, which I've been playing in Balmung for two months, I've made a return to Fantasy RP (for which I was jonesing) and getting a fresh start after my Wildstar RP guild was disbanded due to the upcoming dissolving of the Evindra RP server.
Here, I am currently without a guild, but am weighing in on a few options. In the meantime, I am RPing with a couple of friends and finding new and interesting people as I go, and a search for FFXIV RP brought me to these forums.
Nathan is my main, and he's got himself a bio and a nice little story working, though I have two alts in the wings, both of which are mostly simply getting a level or three here and there as I go. Even in a game where one toon can do everything, I like options, and ask me about my Roe and Midlander sometime if you need a little security for wayward working women or know of a rare book awaiting a collector.
As far as activity, I am an RPer first, and prefer Medium to Heavy groups, though I do really enjoy the gameplay of FFXIV and want to keep my characters progressing at a reasonable (well, for an RPer...) pace; while I'm interested in trying some endgame as I go, and am collecting Atma for my Relic bow, it's not my chief priority. My policy is that I'd rather Raid with RPers than try to RP with Raiders.
As for me myself, and this RL thing, I've been both an English Teacher and an IT guy in what has been a split career, which I've been told explains a lot about me, for what it's worth. And yes, I am old enough to remember the 80's.
