Introduction

Hi, my name is Jon and I am an old D&D gamer from about 20 years ago who recently, and mostly thanks to my son, have rediscovered my love of board and fantasy games. I am looking forward to meeting others with similar interests all over again.

What games are you most interested in playing or learning? (If you do not know the specific name of the game, then the genre or type of game is fine.) Do you have any favorites?

Heroscape is currently my favorite and I really like the LOTRs version of Risk and have played a bit of Magic the Gathering and D&D (a long time ago), but now that my 6 year old son is getting into gaming I have looked into more games and am interested in playing: Battleground Fantasy Warfare Dominion Thunderstone Summoner Wars Dungeon Twister, and many others.

What area of town do you live? How far are you willing to travel for an event or group activity?

I live in Hermitage, PA and would love to find other people interested in gaming and don't mind travel at all.

Do you have any skills or talents such as Teaching Games, Organizing Group Events, Photo Taking & Uploading, Voice Acting, Game Design, Writing, Drawing, or acting as a DM/GM that you are willing to share with your gaming group and/or other members?

Sadly, while I would be willing to teach anything, I can not think of any applicable skills.

To help us tell you apart from other members, we prefer you add a photo to your profile. A last name or a last initial is also helpful. We recommend you read the 'About Us', 'FAQ' and 'Pages' for information about the NCG. Have you read all three?

Yes

Have you read our Code of Conduct policy and do you agree to it? (Simply click on Discussions and then Message Board to find the FAQ section for the Code of Conduct.)

Yes
