Erran (from
Tolkien - "one who walks alone") is one of my old PnP alter egos - a halfling
rogue-fighter who also saw service in IWD and BG2.
Behind the
mask, I am an electronics engineer working in the UK, a few miles south
of London. I have been playing and DMing Pencil and Paper RPGs on and
off for about 15 years. When CRPGs came along I got hooked on those too
and clicked my way through all the "Gold box" series then on through Fallout
to BG2. It was whilst looking to see if I had missed anything in Icewind
Dale that Yahoo led me here and I have been a regular ever since. First
asking, then answering other members of our gaming community.
I have always
dreamt of a fusion of the best of PnP and CRPG: the flexibility of a live
DM, the companionship and unpredictability of real people playing the
other team members PLUS the speed of combat resolution and graphical environment
that a modern computer can give. Hopefully, Neverwinter Nights will prove
to be that fusion. Of all the groups looking to utilize the NWN tools,
A Land Far Away (ALFA) looks to be the best bet. They are looking to recreate
the whole of the Forgotten Realms and populate it with the very best Roleplayers.
I wanted to
be a part of this project, so I volunteered to be HDM of Phlan on the
Moonsea, the site of the original SSI's Pool of Radiance and the first
CRPG I ever played. I also initiated 'Role-play Corner' here at
Sorcerer's Place, where you can get a feel for PnP play without having
to be in the same location as the other players.
So, if you
do join the NWN - ALFA world of Faerun, take care. That 'NPC' you are
about to chop down might just be me!
