Roleplaying
Roleplaying has been a great joy of mine ever since I first came across it about eight years ago. Since playing in a friends home grown campaign, then discovering the Realms I became an avid enthusiast of the Forgotten Realms and everything about it. Over the preceeding years I have been building a fair collection of the novels and general information on the realms. At present I currently own nearly all 1st,2nd and 3rd/3.5ed material on the Forgotten Realms.

Over the last while I have started to run my own games again as a DM. As it sits at moment I have two parties running, one based in Daggerdale and one based in Cormyr. For years Cormyr was an old favourite, I still recall the sadness that I felt as I read about the heoric death of his Highness King Azoun IV. Truly that was a most valiant and noble death (IMO).. Since then I have been playing around other areas. Admittedly I am still very rusty and have an awful lot to reread and catch up on. There have been many alterations upon the beloved realms that I am barely able to keep up. Admittedly I am not very interested in the 4th Editions impact. Begrudgingly I acknowledge it's all canon, however I feel it has been a very unwelcome mark on the future life of the Forgotten Realms.

Editions
I have been playing AD&D since the tail end of 2nd Ed until the middle stages of 3rd ed. For a while I stopped playing, however I have restarted playing in 3rd/3.5ed of the Forgotten Realms. Unfortunately I am not very satisfied with what has happened in the 4th Ed. of D&D. I can understand the business idea behind it however the effects that they have thrown upon the realms I am really not comfortable with these events and feel that they probably should have gone in a different direction. Although I am aware I have no control over the on-going evolution of the Forgotten Realms and acknowledge that at some stage I will have to accept the new events for what they are.

Novels
In regards to the novels, I have read many and own about 40% of the currently existant novels in print (and out of print). As things stand I am continually expanding my collection always looking for cheaper second hand copies. Sadly my lifestyle prevents me from affording brand spanking new copies anymore.

Computer Games
Over the years I have played through most of the games Baldurs Gate, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn + Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal (game), Icewind Dale + Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, Neverwinter Nights + expansions, Neverwinter Nights 2 + expansions and various other of the modern Dungeons and Dragons based games. It is still with trepidation that I take the events of any Forgotten Realms based game as canon.

General Clack
Since discovering the Forgotten Realms Wiki I have been nothing but impressed with the level of content and attention to detail that so many other fans like myself have placed here. Truly I look forward to the future events and development of this absolutely amazing resource for not only players but also dungeon masters and general realms enthusiasts...
