About KnightErrantJR
I've been playing D&D for well over 20 years at this point. I first encountered the game when I swiped my sister's poor neglected Basic Set when I was in grade school. It took me a while (and watching a friend's brother run a game) before I figured out what I was doing, but once I did, I was hooked.
The Dragonlance novels feed into my obsession, but I entered a whole new realm of Geek when the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting came out (the infamous Old Grey Boxed Set).
For years I ran games in the Forgotten Realms, and ran a few side campaigns in Dragonlance from time to time, as well as delving into Star Frontiers, Marvel Super Heroes, Mechwarrior, DC Heroes, and even WEG's Ghostbusters game system.
While my gaming preference was, until recently, the Forgotten Realms, I've always loved running characters in various settings, so long as I have good friends to game with. While running my FR and DL games, I often ran rangers, wizards, clerics and paladins in Greyhawk and Ravenloft and loved it.
I also developed an Alternity habit that I never really got to fully explore, but I spent a TON of money on the system.
I had a multi year hiatus from gaming, and missed the beginning of 3.0, but when I got back into gaming shortly before 3.5 hit, I dove back in hard, and also took to playing d20 Star Wars as well. Since I've gotten back into gaming, I've had the pleasure of running into a lot of really great gamers (many of whom are part of my play by post game currently).
I taught my kids to play D&D and have some great "war stories" from my son and daughter's characters across several mini campaigns and even the regular campaigns that some of them were a part of for a while. One of my daughter's even came with my wife and I to Gen Con this year and she had a great time sinking further and further into geekdom.
While I was trying to be open minded about 4th edition (and wouldn't mind playing on someone else's 4e campaign, as I did have fun when I played it), I didn't really want to DM the system, and WOTC did very little to interested me in the heavily modified version of the FR that came about via 4th edition.
Thankfully, I already knew about Paizo. It didn't take me long before I was falling deeper and deeper into Paizo's depths, and I'm getting ready to run my first Pathfinder game (though I've been using the Pathfinder playtest rules for my FR games for a while now).
Add to all of this the great time I had running Pathfinder events at Gen Con, and I guess I've found my new home.
