Hey guys!
Erm. I honestly don't know where to start, so bear with me.
EllipsisFlood sent me here, because she thinks I'll like it with you guys, and I hope I will! :D
Some stuff about me... Welp, my name is FlareShard (you guys can call me Flare for short), and I like video games, P&P, spriting, writing and all kinds of creative and/or snarky shenanigans - I really like the concept of the PPC, as I'm already a big fan of MST3k and everything riffing-related.
So yeah. Let's see how this cookie crumbles, I guess! o/ -

I'd give you a cookie, but you appear to have one already. So here are some volumetric flasks and iced tea.

My first D&D game was almost my last -- the GM's buddies let him bring other players into the game on the understanding (between them, not told to the rest of us) that those PCs were XP on the hoof, so to speak.
I was out sick the day those guys decided to kill off the rest of the non-buddies. The player who had been running my thief for me was also on the kill list, apologized to me several times for the outcome, and invited me to join with some of the other non-buddies in a fairer game. -

Well, I fancy myself a retro gamer - mostly SNES-era games (grew up with it, after all), but I'm open to other consoles as long as the games are weird, old and obscure, although good old RPGs are fine, too ^__^
I like reading fantasy-ish stuff (preferably when it doesn't take itself all that seriously, e.g. Discworld), and I like researching mythology and legends as sort of a hobby. -

As a fellow fan of retro games, I'd like to point you to Nethack. It's a standard dungeon crawl (explore dungeon, kill monsters, get cool shiny) with a few twists.
- The map is a grid of ASCII characters in 15 colors.
- Items you find don't magically identify themselves. So, when you find a new piece of shiny, you need to somehow figure out what it is if you haven't seen that type of thing before. (Don't worry, the game keeps track of your "discoveries", so once you've uncovered that in your current game a "silver wand" is a "wand of fire", the inventory display updates to reflect that information)
- Death is permanent (unless you're in "Explore mode"), and the descriptions of items re-randomize every game (so the "black potion" might do something completely different every new game.
It's better than if sounds, and also quite addicting. -

Oh HELL yeah, Nethack! :D
Took me a long time to get away from that one, to be honest xD
I'm kind of a sucker for dungeon crawlers and all sorts of exploration-type games.
You, sir, have a fine taste in games. *tips hat* -

Have an extra pair of socks, useful when you need a pair to wear or an improvised weapon! (You might also need them because of that sock-eating penguin. ;])

Welcome. Have a leather bound copy of the mission logs of Jay and Acacia and a box of sporks in case you get hungry. By the way, I may be being stupid, but what the heck is spiriting?

Oh, yeah - spriting is basically creating pixel art, mostly of the video game ilk in my case. Mostly OCs, I don't like edits or palette swaps ^^;

Oooooh, with you now. That's what you get for reading when half asleep. I read it as Spiriting not spriting. I've been know to play around with pixel heroes myself from time to time.

Have some Swiss chocolate. It will come in handy, especially when facing physical descriptions involving chocolate. Oh and have some Bleepka. It will help you keep your sanity.
