I have been gaming since about 1986. It all started when my boyfriend was unavailable on certain nights of the week for "gaming." I got curious, and asked him to show me the game.
And so I rolled up a cleric.
Many weekends of gaming geekery followed. We pull in some friend of ours, and pretty soon Nan the theif, the No Name Mage, and assorted other characters took on the Temple of Elemental Evil. Sadly, we did not make it all the way through.
We have followed the evolution of D&D all the way up to 5e, plus we have enjoyed RuneQuest, Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, Marvel Super Heroes, Pathfinder, and more.
That first character, Gwennyth, is in my Binder of Heroes, which contains a thick sheaf of practically every character that either one of us ever rolled up, plus the characters of some friends.
I also have some fiction published, which you can find at https://www.tianevitt.com if you dig around. There's a blog there too, which I post to occasionally.
