New Year, New Start! Or so they say . . . . Let's find out!Welcome to my new blog!
This is the place where I will share with you my interests and thoughts. A little bit about me: I'm . . .
- A Public Librarian in Massachusetts. Really happy, getting paid to do the things I really love doing!
- A Tabletop Gamer. Boardgames, wargames, tabletop roleplaying games, etc. Spent my teen and early adult years living in Wisconsin near TSR. And yes, I started out playing D&D 1E (though we called it AD&D).
- A Genre Reader. I've always found realistic literature to be limited and dull. Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, these are the genres that stretch my imagination and thrill me! But also caper, espionage and historical fiction (a real sucker for stuff set in the late Roman Republic / early Roman Empire periods).
- Always Trying to Learn More About Language / Culture. My second language is French -- but I've spent more or less time learning a bit about all the Romance Languages, including Latin. Also dabble in other languages, real or constructed. Languages and reading are my way of learning about and experiencing other cultures.
- Running D&D for adults at the Library monthly. Also runningD&D online with my brother multiple times weekly (or at least, typically). For forty-plus years, I've been a player, never a DM. But now that I've started DMing at the Library, I've caught the bug!
- Playing Marvel Heroic Roleplaying solo. Got an online site for it on Obsidian portal here at Marvel Heroic Continuum. Running through official and some homebrew Events, all in the same continuity. Also running MHRP for adults at the Library. We'll be playing through Annihilation! Our first session is this coming Thursday night. They'll be starting out at the Kyln -- intergalactic prison, pilgrimage site, and scientific curiosity. (Think of the prison scene at the start of Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 1, that's supposed to be the Kyln!) Just in time to witness and survive the First Annihilation Wave emerge from the rift between the Marvel Universe and the Negative Zone! My tagline for it: Cosmic adventures for cosmic heroes!
- Running a Shakespeare Drama Workshop using cue scripts at the Library. I bill it as De-Mystifying Shakespeare. Because who's afraid of Shakespeare? Answer: Everyone! We'll be running through some scenes from Twelfth NIght in honor of the holiday season.
