Im a slave to the Endzone Magazine by night and a mild mannered manager by day.

I play FF, 40K, FF, 40K and sometimes FF.

I scrawl a bit for fun, sculpt a few minis for myself.

I don't get paid enough for this sh.................................

Hi!

This is my first post.

I'm from México.

I've been painting and playing mini games for 15+ years now.

I started with HEROQUEST, imo the best game ever!

I moved to WHFB, but some years ago I quit and converted to Armies of Arcana, a far superior system in most respects.

I have played Necromunda, Morheim, Advanced Heroquest, Warhammer quest, Talisman, Dark world, Dragon Strike, and lots of other miniature games.

And then of course, FF, and I believe is near one of the best games I've played.

I already own about 17 teams painted to a high standard, and now I'm trying to sculpt some minis for my use (and if someone is interested, maybe be made available) in some alternative teams, or with some teams I don't like the actual sculpted ones.

Good wishes to you all.

Hey there,

My name is Ben. I've been a wargamer and RPG player for... Gods, 18 years now. I started with DnD, and moved quickly to the Grandma Wendy games and Battletech (still a personal favorite).

In my professional life I'm a software engineer for an Aerospace company, so I can safely say that "I help make airplanes for a living".

Personally, I'm married and have been for the last 5 years. She's a wonderful woman and I had no idea the bargain I was getting when I put in the mail order... I kid, I kid. She hates that joke, so I tell it whenever possible.

My other hobbies are web programming, literature (sci-fi, historical, and religious texts (and I highly recommend the books "No God but God" and "What Went Wrong". Great insight into historical and modern Islam thought and society)), some computer gaming, and hiking (when the local wilderness isn't busy burning down...).

So, thats me in a nutshell. Hopefully I can grow my own crop of Elfball players in the area so I'll have many more posts at that point.

Hi Cephalopod!

Welcome! I hope you have many good games!

Have you read The Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Knights?

Fun book IMO, I also enjoy religious studies...not that that book is so studious . It's just fun and helpful.

Battletech eh? Ever play CAV?

Welcome to the forum.

I am trying to grow some elfball players here in Fort Worth, TX as well. I have one friend who is my FF buddy, and very small league that seems to be loosing some steam in that other game. There are only about 4 of us consistantly (and by 4 consistantly I mean about 8 or so guys, but only four ever show up for something at the same time or continue actively playing it seems). I am kinda hoping to try to get them into elfball.

Aside from that I love Fantasy Sports games and I played Grandma Wendys 4TK for awhile, but my minis are so outdated now (I still have some squirts in a shoe box somewhere) that it is not worth getting back into. I would rather spend my money with Impact in a game that seems to be growing rather than remaking itself every few years.

I also love thinking about the logic puzzle of strategy games with advancement. Studied Theology, Physics and Philosophy in college. Ended up with a Theology Major (Eastern Orthodox and Ethics focus), Physics minor (with an astronomy internship) and now teach HS Physics and Astro at a public school.

I also am married with a few kiddos and one on the way. My wife still lets me indulge my gamer side every once in a while as long as it only takes an afternoon or evening, not a whole day.

Well that is it for me. Good to get to know all the folks here and I will keep looking for loop holes and unorthodox (ussually unsuccessful) strategies and trick plays.

And I am also really looking forward to the Gnome release, I use the little buggers all the time in my word problems, kinda scares the students.

Cephalopod? OK I'm curious. As a person with a degree in Nutural Science how or why does a software engineer pick the name cephalopod? There's got to be a story here.

Wow, there have been more responses here than I'd thought there would be. I'll address each one below with the quote. I don't think I missed anyone.

My name is Cliffe. Been playing games for more than twenty odd years now. Everything from The Awful Green Things from Outerspace to Battletech to 40k to more RPGs than I care to list.

Now been married for eleven years and have two children so money and time are thin on the ground so it is back to board games for me. Also my beloved wife dissaproves of war games and to keep a happy marraige other games it will be.

Other interests I have are collecting Postmarks and reading history (Elizabethan is my preference).

Currently working in a warehouse, but considering taking up a book keeping course for the change of job.

Now going back to work as my lunch is over.
