OK I suppose I'd better practise what I preach and add my intro...
I've been playing RPGs for about 25 years starting with the early version of D&D. These days I play most Monday evenings with a small group (which contains most of the Ludicrus organisers) - I'm somewhat alarmed to realise that we've been meeting weekly for about 15 years now! Sorry I don't make it to any of the local clubs but when you get to my age there tends to be other commitments like work and kids!
As well as D&D we've had brief encounters with Cthulhu and Rolemaster but we seem to always return to old faithful.
I also enjoy board games and have tried a couple of card games in the past (MTG etc.) but it's not really my thing.
I got involved in the organisation of Ludicrus because I've always enjoyed attending the conventions like Gencon and I thought it would be great to have something local so people who aren't able to travel to the bigger events can get a taste of the fun to be had.
I'm looking forward to meeting a lot more of you at the year's Ludicrus - please keep giving us the ideas to make it the event you want.
Cya
