I; ;am a complete technophobe and i'm cursed with gremlins so apologies in advance if accessing this page causes your computer to crash and/or complete failure of the internet and the downfall of civilisation as we know it.

I got into roleplaying when the old lady who lived accross the road from my parents had her grandkids to stay over the summer holidays. Her eldest grandson brought a copy of first edition DnD with him. I must have been about 10, and Micheal, if through some bizzare twist of fate you ever read this - cheers mate. RPGs are a hobby that has provided me with hours of cheap (until I started buying the latest edition of Warhammer!) entertainment and through which i have made many good friends. Unfortunately for me my parents, who were both religious, had seen and (even more bizzarely for two rational grown-ups) believed all the bad press the american religious right had put out about DnD. Naturally they assumed through playing DnD I would sell my soul in some demonic bargin for a +4 longsword and outright banned me from playing. Step in Jez my ever resourceful friend who over one weekend wrote his own rule system and so Caves and Quest was born. Well i'm now 27 and have yet to summon up some infernal presance, so i figure either i'm doing something very wrong or the american lunitic fringe were a little off the mark - who'd have guessed it?

Many games and systems have come and gone over the years but you always have a few firm favourites. While high bodycount bloodbaths have their place i prefer something a bit more plot driven with character interaction and lots of atmosphere. Games i have enjoyed more than others include Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer FRP, Cyberpunk, Rolemaster, TMNT and Paranoia(presumably the cause of my technophobia)

I run the The Enemy Within campaign.
