I'm Jonathan. 29 years old, married, living somewhere out in Utah (it's dry and crisp, like a fine white wine). I'm from the East Coast originally-born in Pennsylvania-I just got my copy of Dom 3. I lost a big chunk of my Fritz Lieber, R.E.Howard, and Thieves World books in a bankruptsy (I hope someone at the bank likes to read).

But, it wasn't my bankruptsy, and I collect the better sword-and-sorcery books as well as movies and games. I did roleplaying games for a longer period of time than could be construed as "healthy living". I would still be roleplaying, but I'm kind of burnt out on pen-and-paper games.

One of the many, many things I particularly like about Dom 3 is that you can play Pretenders who aren't humanoid, never were humanoid, never gonna be humanoid. I've been a human my whole life (although I've heard you're briefly a frog and a lizard in the womb) and I like it just fine, but to me that's roleplaying copout. It's worse when they're humans with pointy ears or wrinkly foreheads.

Immobile polyp mothers with alien supergenius intellects and telekinetic mind-control powers rule.
So do unliving monoliths who hate and desire. Has anyone read William Hope Hodgson or the Night Lands anthology based on his works? The Monolith immobile pretender reminds me of the Watchers in his books, thus giving that particular pretender chassis the "double-creepy" factor.
