[Mark A Vandermeulen]

Hello everyone. I'll join the census-taking.

Name: Mark VanderMeulen RP experience: 7 years
Age: 29 Born: Orange City, Iowa, USA
Race: Caucasian Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Occupation: Graduate student in Plant Evolutionary Biology
Interests: Games: BR, Fading Suns, White Wolf's V:tM, M:tA, Castle
Falkenstein. Other: Babylon 5, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Fantasy
& SciFi Lit (esp. de Lint, Katherine Kerr, Pratchett, and Alan Dean
Foster) hiking, cooking, and photography.

I recently left my cozy BR game of 3 years in Illinois when I came to Pitt
for my Ph.D. I miss it dearly: PBeM is not the same! In that game, the
intrepid regents of Roesone, Spider River Traders, and Spiderbane Tower
(made up regent with most of Aglondier's sources, and Aglondier made into
a guilder w/ El-Hadid's guilds), were attempting to resist the cunning
wiles of the secret Mistress of the Cult of the Lifestealers, an extremist
cult of Eloele based in Mieres and Diemed (they had just discovered that
Orthien Tane was a member).

[Tim Nutting]

Age: 24
Sex: Male
Ethnic background: Middle American/Danish
Role playing exp: 10 yrs
Location: Seattle, Washington

Interests: RPGs: [Birthright! (TSRs BEST campaign), Greyhawk (1st edition),
Star Wars, Cyberpunk, Al-Qadim (TSRs second best campaign world EVER, take
note WotC people, jump start it!), Dark Sun, Forgotten Realms, Planescape
(stormin' the gates of the 9 hells!), Star Frontiers (loooooong time ago -
for me)], computers, fiction (Wheel of Time - current), movies, and ladies
who are into RPGs... few and far between. Arguing philosophy and religion
with my uncle in Idaho (a methodist minister). astronomy

I got into D&D in Jr high/grade school and got put out of it due to living
with paranoid parents who bought into the satan worship drivel (anyone
remember the "Dark Dungeons" so-called religious pamphlet?), so I found
other games I am now trying to become a self published game author and
write my own system, a daunting task.

Campaigns:
I've tried to run four different BR campaigns over time, most have died.
My last one was rather interesting, the players were all minor lords with
an NPC as the too young regent to the Aerenwean Imperial Throne. In this
one Aerenwe and Roesone married in 535 MR, completely changing to Anuirean
political structure. In this one I'd decided also to resurect Azrai (I've
been sayin' he wasn't dead for over a year now) and have it set to that
they will meet the reborn god while he is still semi-mortal and is tied to
a physical form on the Prime.

I'm prepping a campaign to start in Khinasi and head around the planet
looking for the Seilehr (the Stone of Light - see BoM) and such. Along the
way they will be tricked into helping someone cast a modified and reversed
_imprisonment_ and releasing the Lost from their prisons deep beneath the
ground.
