    Dont know if this can be relevant, but can everybody talk about themselves, what you do for living etc. Just to know more to what type of persons we talk, what type of persons share the same interests about BG2 and other RPG.

    So I will start:

    I'm 25, i'm a marketing manager in a manufacturing company in Montréal. I will marry my girlfriend next year. Still study. (by night) I played computer games for a lot of years now. First game was Police Quest I.

    I used to play D&D and Call of Cthulu (p&p).

    The first BG was one of my favorites games.
    Dont know what to say more.

    Your turn.

    Oh me, I'll play along. I'm still in college (hopefuly not for much longer). I used to play p&p, but now it is hard to find people willing to play.

    Hey isn't "Call of Cthulu" also a song by Metallica?

    Oh wait, nevermind it's "Call of Ktulu," sorry

    I am a student as well, of 14 years. I fence, and play many computer games. I would play PnP if I could find players and a DM. I like all sorts of RPGs and also still play MTG. The original BG is a favorite of mine. Open season on paladin hunting... Anyway that about covers it I think.

    First off this is the Whatnots section, but also I agree that it's in your profile already if you filled it out. It's never to late.
    I live out side of Boston in the USA. I enjoy computer games but my real love is P&P RPGs. I've been playing RPGs for over 15 years. I started with D&D but now I have branched out into losts of others. I think I've played over 15 different RPGs over the years including some LARPs. My favorite is GURPS. I currently GM a GURPS cyberpunk campaign. I guess the rest is in the profile.

    YEAH !!! OK I'M SORRY! I POSTED IT IN THE WRONG FORUM!

    So after now, stop telling me about it. I made an error. That's not the end of the world. And instead of telling me that, talk to us about yourself. If you dont want to do so, get out of this topic.


    *grumble*

    Calm down, calm down; nobody was making a big deal out of it, just stating the facts as they are, and helping you learn the ropes around here that's all...

    If you really wanna know some more detail about me, here:

    I develop embedded flight software for spacecraft; my last project was the Chandra Xray Observatory.

    Shura, out of interest...you from S'pore?

    Herf, you got bullied? My god! ... ... ... why didn't you just cast a spell on em?
     
  14. herf Guest

    [​IMG] i only cast spells in extreme cases, i only casted a spell on the most popular boy in my class (the one with the broken leg, rememeber?) because he kicked the shit out of me and tried to rip my ears of and i had to get 5 stitches in the bottom of my ear where it actually did tear, seriously, i cant wear my earrings anymore cuz the doctor said i couldnt, cant remember the exact reason why but he said something about it opening up again but i was still in shock so i cant really member.
     
  15. Sol'Kanar Guest

    If that's not an extreme case I don't know what one is. I should hope though that you did this out of necessity not out of spite because the kid's a jerk. Also it might be a good idea to use the magic for the healing of the ear as well.
