I have been taking part in internet role playing games for... well about 4 or 5 years now. Everything from high fantasy to sci-fi, to horror and steam punk. have always had a blast with it, however every game I have been a part of has ultimately died from a lack of membership or interest, which has been quite sad over the years.

I just posted my character application last night. So I am waiting to get it approved and start playing. Theo is your typical half-elf out for revenge. Not the nicest character, but at the same time, you kind of need to malicious to cause some problems for the rest.

You can usually find me on AIM with my screen name being Ichingcalculator (old Douglas Adams reference if anyone gets it) feel free to send me a message to chat.

Hopefully I will be running into some of you IC soon enough.

Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch! Welcome to Thar Shaddin, buddy. My name is Sampy and I play Marn's resident Gnome, Cormear Torin. If you were looking for a quality, on-line simming community you have certainly discovered one! :) Like you, I had been searching for a very long time for a writing environment such as this. All that I can say is, thank goodness when I, too, discovered this awesome place! :)

Well, your character looks pretty awesome and I look forward to encountering him at some point in the future.

Take care and welcome! :)

Hey, sounds like me! My last site died out a few years ago and I've been at Thar for... oh, year and a bit? Feels like shorter.

We're all nice people around here, promise.

Hi everyone, my name's Luke, but I'm slowly becoming more and more known as Bear.

I'm a well rounded geek (D&D, Magic, LARPing. etc.) with a good sense of humor and a mild touch of craziness (but don't we all :b). I hope my writing and presence will be enjoyable to others around here.

*glares at Mina for reasons she knows*

Hi! I will keep my opinions on D&D to myself (for now)! Welcome to Thar and such. I look forward to seeing your thief (I presume). :P

Not quite, not quite.

And if you are not a fan of D&D I am curious as to why, but of course, to each their own opinions. I know some are not fond of the binding rules, some as to the limited RP there can be in lacking groups (which have been most of the ones I've been in unfortunately), etc.

Hey, Luke! So glad you chose to rp with us after all! :) Sorry I haven't been on FB for the past couple of days, but you can chat with me on here as Cimri or Direidi.

Rules heavy, skimpy on social rules (one stat, charisma, to describe a character's social abilities) but heavy on combat rules. The existence of classes. Rules that are easy to abuse, hard to start with. It's always ended up being dice and rules heavy. But I've always butted heads with people here who do like D&D, like Mina, Kamar...

Well I'll do my best to break that little mold.

And as weird as this sounds, take a look at the book of Erotic Fantasy sometime, it actually adds more to social interactions like an appearance stat and such.

If it wasn't always such a sausage fest...
WoD has manipulation, appearance and charisma. No classes. Simple combat rules that are usually impossible to abuse.

I actually wrote up some rules for using the WoD rules to play Thar Shaddin based characters. Works quite well. Didn't take long to do either. Maybe a few hours. Had a test game with it that went well, but it's hard to find RPers.
