User:Lhynard

I am a human male "expert", something of a want-to-be Renaissance man; my interests are numerous and eclectic. Formerly, I have a Ph.D. in bioorganic chemistry. Informerly, I have studied/tinkered in multiple (mostly, "dead") languages and (mostly, modern) philosophies. I am very familiar with Biblical studies and mildy familiar with the Church Fathers. I have an extremely thorough understanding of English grammar and am somewhat obsessed with correct typography. Outside of intellectual endeavors, I love music (Who doesn't?) and outdoor activities &mdash; especially backpacking. I am currently employed in a chemical/biomolecular engineering lab as a programmer, working on modeling carbohydrates.

As far as D&D, I DM a Forgotten Realms campaign, using 3.5 edition with seven of my coworkers about twice a month. We've been playing for two years now. The tale began in Calimshan and the players have been to Tethyr and now Chult as a miscellany of happenings seem to be leading them to a mysterious island and an enigmatic individual known as Samber. (You can read about their adventures here: Imago Deorum) Since the tale has thus far taken place in the Lands of Intrigue, most of my new articles and edits will (for now) regard the individuals and places of those southern lands.

I have also played the Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights.

As far as my skill as a Wikipedian, I am probably above average but by no means an expert! Feel free to remind (or inform) me if needed of FR Wiki policies, which I do my best to follow, and I'll respond in kind.
