I mostly prefer 4X and other "grand strategic" games where I can live out my fantasies of absolute monarchy (anybody who is married can tell you what a fantasy that is )

Boy, do I resonate with THAT one =)

42, married, 1 kid & another "in the Build Que".

Retired USNR Chief Petty Officer, 8 years active (in submarines), 12 years reserves.

Currently an electrical engineer working in industrial controls.

Been playing wargames & reading science fiction since I was about 12 (or 7, if you count toy soldiers and "Space Cat" books), computer games since the C-64 was the premier gaming platform. I mostly prefer 4X and other "grand strategic" games where I can live out my fantasies of absolute monarchy (anybody who is married can tell you what a fantasy that is )

55 Retired for 3 years. Mostly play CRPGs and some FPS(First Person Shooters). This is my first turned-based strategy game (tried starcraft but didn't really like it). I'm in 2 PBEMs now and find that much more interesting than solo play mostly because the diplomacy gets very involved.

26 years old

not married (but living with girlfriend)

I play 3D-Shooters mostly ... but I love RTS and PBEM strategy games.

I live in Germany (near Frankfurt).

26, almost 27. Unmarried, but own a home, and living happily with my girlfriend in a serious relationship. No kids.

I tend to play shooters (I prefer 1st person to 3rd), strategy games (I prefer RTS for small-scale, and turn-based for more grand ones, such as the X-Com series or any 4X game), and RPGs (both on console systems AND PC).

I run a mostly-weekly pen-and-paper D&D game as well.

I also keep posting here to throw out ideas I have, though I haven't ever made a mod of my own...yet. Once we have monsters available to us, watch out, world!

I've been playing electronic games since around 5, and D&D since 6 (though not well at that age, for certain).

Beyond that, I'm a mild-mannered (ha! I'm surly) computer programmer living in Northern Virginia in the US.
