Well, I didn't see where else to put it so this will serve as my intro/first comment on the boards.
I go by Nisia, an anagram of my real name in fine Greyhawk tradition, which world I played in from the 70's until pretty recently. I was once a WizO with WotC, a few years ago in fact.
I live in Massachusetts, Sunderland to be more precise, with my family and my cat. I'm 52 next month.
I've got the Pathfinder Alpha 3 download and initial reading of it is promising so I'm delving more deeply into that. I dislike what I've seen/heard of 4e so I will not go there.
In any event, I am happy to be here. I look forward to learning a lot from folk, perhaps even contributing something now and then. I'm likely to be found in the Pathfinder sections after this one.
If this is in the wrong place, please feel free to move it, delete it or what have you. :)

Welmet and welcome, Nisia !
Very good idea.
An introduction of members would bring a little extra to this fine community.
I've seen something similar in another place, in another time, but cannot recall where nor when ;)
My turn :
My nickname comes from one of my D&D3.5 characters, an elf rogue in an Eberron campaign.
I happen to be french (sorry for that), exiled in the United States.
I live in New York, with my wife and my 2 years old son, which i plan to convert both into D&D one day.
I am playing D&D since 1981, and DMing for quite as long in a persistant game world.
I live in Massachusetts, Sunderland to be more precise...

Wow...I grew up in Ashfield...not too far from you. I've since moved away, but it's neat to see other folks who are from the same area, considering how small it is.
Welcome!
Welcome to the boards! There's cookies over there, feel free to indulge. *points*
Welcome to the boards.
Always nice to see another Yankee about. I grew up in Maine. My wif is from Needham and mom was born in Worcester.
Hiya! :)
Another visitor. Stay a while. Stay forever!
One of the important things which newcomers to the Paizo boards need to know is that even if they don't normally have an avatar, if you use the word 'smurf' in a post (even when quoting a post from someone else who did so) your avatar becomes a smurf for that post. There is even a thread where people experiment with this, sometimes trying to find ways around it. Usually, if enough people try to employ a loophole for too often, the PostMonster simply closes that loophole up.
*Link to the Great Smurf Experiment thread*
Kobold Cleaver, for his peristent efforts to find loopholes, has even been awarded his own special smurf avatar by the Postmonster, for when he uses the 's' word or one of its variants.
Welcome! I'm a bit of a noob myself compared to some of these others, but I find Paizo's people to be some of the smartest, wittiest individuals on the web. Enjoy.
Hallos!

Welcome to the boards! Kick back and get comfy, stay a while! =)
One more person in our growing community. Welcome to the asylum, er, boards!
Welcome! Always good to see another Massachusetts dweller on the boards (Cape Cod here). Have fun, look around, enjoy the sights. Lots of friendly people around.

Heya, Nisia.
Let me ask: keeping a Greyhawk campaign going during some periods would have been hard work. What made you decide to keep with the Flaeness, rather than jumping to more fertile ground in Toril or Mystrara?
I started with Greyhawk in the OD&D world in '74/'75. I always liked its aspect of mystery, who knows who, the oddly tilted relationship to the real world and so on.
I liked Forgotten Realms, well, the maps anyway. FR has the best place-names going IMO, but I never really liked how it developed.
Mystara simply didn't appeal.
Now Al Quadim I really liked, even though it was on Toril. I used aspects of it for the Baklunish Northwest on Oerth. On the whole, I simply made stuff up; I've never really liked having everything handed to me fully developed on a platter so the lack of official material was more help than hindrance.
Mostly though, I simply love Oerth.
Lilith you should be ashamed of yourself...
It took you 2 whole hours before you offered some of the famous Paizo/Dm Tools cookies to Nisia.
I know. I was falling behind...:(
*gives extra cookies to Nisia*

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.
For the New Englanders; We rock. I live in Sunderland at the moment, but my home was in Heath...rather near the Vermont border, although I wound up going to Junior High and High School in Springfield. *sigh*
So far I like what I see, both here and in the Alpha 3 version of the game release.
I believe I'll stay a while. *nabs cookies*

I rather like the French actually.
I like the name too.

Ditto!
And welcome from an ex-MA boy (born & raised in mighty Wormtown, aka Worcester!). I've been to Sunderland. My dad lives out in Wendell to this day.
Welcome Nisia.
Here's your list of who to ignore:
Heathansson. He's insane.
Sharoth. He's insane. And obsessed with killing me.
Aberzombie. He's insane. And also obsessed with 'Vomit Guy'.
Pigeons. They're insane.

Ultradan here... Real life super-hero... Should you ever be in need of rescuing while on these messageboards.
My only weakness is cryptonite dice (and hamburgers).
Ultradan
Shoo, shoo, Dire Pigeons of Doom!
<engulfs them in poison cloud>
You are bothering the new member!
*Fly out of reach*
*Point at KC* He started it!
Hi, New Person. I'm The Eldritch Mr. Shiny, and I'm prone to mental breakdowns that cause me to disappear for weeks on end.
Huh, where'd he go?

Which will be very often...KC is nuts and if you side with the smrfs he will try to kill you.

Nisia,
Were you DMing when the "Greyhawk Wars" were published? If so, how did you incorporate them into your campaign?
I simply modified to fit MGC, discarding things I didn't like, changing some things, and sometimes adding stuff in that I made up myself. I very rarely use any published material raw, that is, unchanged. Old school DM here..the world I run is my world and I'll run it my way. LOL
Nisia
Ah, welcome cookies. Please enjoy some fresh, warm Nisia.
Waitaminute...
