Volstagg Vanyr
ParticipantSecret Handshakes and mumbled passwords having been duly Presented,
I descend the Seven Hundred Steps of Deeper Slumber and enter the Great Library of the Dreamlands.
Thus: I find myself in the mysterious ‘Hallowed Halls of the Esoteric Order’.
“Home is where one hangs one Fezz.”About myself: I have passed into what I suppose passes for the Grognard stage of my ‘gamer evolution’:
Having started with classic Boardgames in the late ’60’s, rejoicing in RPG’s through the 70’s,
and devoting myself increasingly thereafter to Miniature gaming & CCG’s through until the early 2000’s,
I find myself now returning to Boardgames (mostly due to time and space limitations, and a paucity of opponents).I have a presence on the BGG as ‘ White Elk ‘ and a recorded ownership of some 750+ games
(Of which? I have in fact actually played each at least once! Please do see for points of commonality if so moved…)
I also maintain bemused (if non-active) memberships as Volstagg Vanyr on the Lead Adventure Forum, Frothers, and TMP
(Miniatures based sites, those: I still enjoy Painting even if I have never quite found the Grail of a rules-set).On a more personal note: I am a father of Two (and husband of One).
The Eldest is off to College this week, and the Youngest is grudgingly willing to pick up the “game opponent slack”.
I play several stringed and fretted instruments, and have some mediocre ability as a lyricist.
Any more trivia would likely be either boring or self-indulgent (“..more so…” I mean of course).I count it as Privilege to have stumbled across these Fora in their nascent ‘New & Improved’ incarnation:
Mostly as it gives me a chance to Thank the Universal Head for the incredible and prodigious effort in creating
such a vast array of summations for the scores of perfectly Lovely games
rendered useless by badly written, poorly edited, and / or under proofed rules folios.You are a Credit to your Mania,
and an international (if mysterious!) Resource of some renown.
Kudos, and Well Met!August 11, 2014 at 9:06 am #6953Universal Head
KeymasterGreetings Volstagg! An excellent introduction and a pleasure to read, though I do find it slightly disturbing that you seem to have gained access to one of the less accessible of the Order’s enclaves … the cat Drusilla of Ulthar wandered the halls as steward last I visited, I must speak to her about it.
Delighted to have you join us. Well met indeed!
