<p>Well, I'm a grad student studying biology. I'm also from MA, living in Boston. Hi James! Hi Tyler! What it's like to be free of grad school?</p>
<p>I've been playing RPGs since the days of the black box D&D set.

Hi everyone! I'm the only Bryan who spells their name correctly (that's only a little joke). I'm originally from Michigan, but live near the lake in Ohio today. I've got two girls, one named after a morbid kid's book.</p>
<p>My first game was Hero Quest, which led to D&D and AD&D 2.0. From there it was a gap until I picked up 3.5. Pathfinder led naturally from there. I haven't had much luck at keeping a regular game night (too far from local shops, and one local group fell apart), so I switched to painting minis and pbp here on the forums.</p>
<p>I'm very very humbled to be included among the others here. I know my entry was rather plain; but I'm hopping my idea for round 2 pans out.</p>
<p>When I was at my parents over Thanksgiving I found something I had worked on in middle school: a role playing game that I had my dad laminate for me. I barely remember working on it, but it reminds me I've always wanted to create things. </p>
<p>Also, I have the worst forum name ever: gmpathfinder was actually my email address (hotmail circa 1994). So I didn't come up with the least original moniker on the boards.</p>Tyler Beck wrote:Peter J wrote:Wow, I'm in! How did that happen?
Well, I'm a grad student studying biology. I'm also from MA, living in Boston. Hi James! Hi Tyler! What it's like to be free of grad school?
I've been playing RPGs since the days of the black box D&D set. My current projects are mostly indie games right now, but I have spent many a year in Pathfinder, back when it was just a world setting for 3.5. I do most of my gaming electronically nowadays, courtesy of my iPad.

<p><b>Master Enko, there are two types of conjurers who deal with devils. The first are the weaklings who are enamored with their power and kowtow to them. They're the ones who make deals for greater power in exchange for their souls. Then, there are those of us - like Vheed- who break the spines of the devils and shape them as tools. The taint of evil is always seeping into our plane- for some of us, we believe it is better to know thine enemy and turn them as weapons back against them. The minor devils I summon are fragments of the evil host - no danger of stealing my soul. I turn them back on evil, fighting fire with fire. The day I trade my soul for power is the day that you strike my head from my shoulders like ms. Khazrea here. </b></p>

7 3rd level DC 18 (two conj +2)</p>
<p>90g + 400g + 630g = 1120 gold cost materials. I could memorize each time I need them from the borrowed spellbook, but I'd have to roll every day. That would be more economical, I suppose.</p>
