So, Who Is This Guy and Why Is He Writing a Blog?

I am a brand new gamer.  When I say “brand new”, I mean I never rolled a D20 in my life until June of this year.  Since then, I’ve become hooked on pen and paper RPG’s.  I don’t want to sound overly dramatic, but I feel like a whole new world has opened up to me and I want to dive right into it. I am having a such a great time, that I want share my experiences in the hobby.

Thus, I am writing a blog.

I’m lucky to live in Tucson which has a vibrant gaming community.  Thanks to this community and specifically Southern Arizona Gamers Association (SAGA), I have played some great games, made new friends, and had some wonderful experiences.  I attended the world’s first gamemaster’s conference.  At Rincon ’09, I played in Wil Wheaton’s 2009 Dwarven Dungeon Delve of Doom among other great experiences.  I’ve played in several great home games.  All of which, I’ll be writing about in this blog.

Now, I am fully aware that a few months of gaming means I cannot speak authoritatively on the subject of RPG’s in any way.  I absolutely do not intend to try.  I’ve just scratched the surface on all this stuff.  So, this blog will mainly focus on my experiences getting into the hobby.  Any advice or tips will be directed more to new gamers like me.  Any reviews will be firmly from the perspective of someone new to the hobby.  Hopefully, this will be an interesting perspective to new gamers and seasoned gamers alike.

Thanks for checking out my blog.  There’s more to come.
