I am a old gamer, but fairly new D&D-er. I started playing in 2016 at a Comic Convention and then fell in with the Common Ground Games crowd. (I woulda played in the 80s but that was just too much math.) I love the role playing aspects of RPGs and build characters with fun and story in mind, occasionally to the detriment of my stats. My rogue would love to have evasion right now, but giving him some warlock was in story.
At my table, you will get more of a Terry Gilliam world than Tolkien. I am definitely a Chaotic Neutral DM with an affinity for RPG and inter-player interaction. Bring the shenanigans!
