You find yourself on blogger. You have a keyboard. What is your action?

::Type Intro::

Hi everyone,
I'll be using this as a place to dump musings, creations and basically anything that pops into my head that is tabletop gaming related.

For the quick run down, 
I've been gaming on and off since 2001, and gaming solidly since about 2010. Yeah, that about sums it up.

As for the long-winded run down...
My intro to the world of tabletop RPG was PC'ing in D&D 3.5 back in 2001. I D&D'd on and off for years before being pulled into WoD by the lovely ST Wild [Blog HERE , check it out] for an oWod Demon homebrew somewhere around 2009-ish.

That spawned a great interest in the d10 setting, it seemed so much easier. "Butt loads of d10's, pfft, this is childs play." Little did I know. From there I got pulled into various WoD games over the next 4 or so years including tabletop games of nWoD Werewolf & Demon. I also dipped my toes in the waters of Exalted and Cyberpunk.
In amongst all that I tried my hand at LARPs for nWoD Vampire and Changling. For all of this I was always the PC, never the ST, er GM, DM? *GAH*.

At some point in all of that I fell into yet more games run by Wild, for which I will be eternally grateful as it's where I discovered Pathfinder. For me it's my niche. It took everything I remembered of 3.5 and fine-tuned it. IMHO it has the tightest rule set I've used to date, with some of the richest and varied expanded background.

Which leads me to my current endeavors. I'm GM'ing for two Pathfinder groups, both tabletop. One running the paizo module "Crypt of the Everflame" for some long time role-players first time Pathfinders,  and one homebrew dungeon crawl. Mainly, 'cos everyone likes to hit things and find loot.

Throughout all of this I've also Talisman'd, Munchkin'd, MTG'd, video game'd, and a whole score of other geek related awesomeness has ensued.

So that's my background. I game with f[r]iends mostly. I love discussion, and more importantly learning new and cool things about different systems and settings. I try to build what I concept, but I don't always concept before I build. In the coming days I plan to post interesting things I find and think of in my travels. Hopefully you'll have fun reading my brain dumps.

Until my first real post,

Frank Out
