   Hello my name is Chris and I've been playing table tops since high school,oh no, it's been 20 years already. :shock:
   It can't have been that long , could it? :what: AAAUUUUGGGHHHH it has.
   
   
   Okay, sorry for the breakdown. I've pulled myself together, no longer a weeping mass, lying on the floor.
   
   As I was saying , I've been playing for 20 years but have only been DMing for about 3. I've played 2e and 3e D & D as well as
   Werewolf and Vampire. I also enjoy Munchkin.
   
   I just stopped in to see if I could pick up some tips on being a better DM and to share some of my ideas. well enogh of me blathering , I eagerly await your replys :lol:

   Twenty years?! For the love of....
   
   Pick up some tips, roll them around, squish them, squeeze them, toss them back, and add to them as you will.
   
   Hopefully you can find something interesting amongst it all.

   Welcome Fearghus, I've only been playing for about 9 years, but I've been DMing four about 8 of those years. I too play Vampire and werewolf, but I must admit I dislike the new Requiem edition of the game

   Welcome.  There is a bonus to being a vetran gamer; Moon can't tease you about having books older than you are.  Also, may I just say that your icon rocks.

   Hey there, welcome Fearghus. :D Wow, 20 years. That's quite some time.... though you're not the first gamer I've stumbled across online who's been playing/DMing for a long period of time. :wink:
   
   Oh, yeah, I love your avatar. It's pretty sweet. 8)

   I can honestly say that having been gaming for some aspect or another for 20+ years... (Moon has me beat I am sure) it seems to have it's own folder in your mind for memories both good and bad. I can say I have more full complete memories of gaming than I do of virtually any other thing I have ever done. To include sports, movies, books, etc... Gaming tops the list of the most memories.
   
   Welcome to Strolens, where the donuts are fresh and the comments are welcome.

    I just qualified for 30 years of gaming this week as a matter of fact. 
    
    So my old time game friend, put down some of those great game ideas you have had (or have experienced) over the decades. You can claim them as your own, as few are around to tell you that you were wrong. :)

    Thanks to all who welcomed me. Only took me 120 days to say that. Sorry. I should visit more often. I got tied up in some PbP and was detained, or my character was anyways.
